Integral Collet Design

The collet chuck on the ASR1100 accepts ER16 series collets. These collets are readily available in multiple sizes supporting tube diameters from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. The collet is retained with a threaded retaining cap that enables quick changeover to different tube diameters. The collet chuck is configured in a "fail-safe" mode where full clamping force is applied when no air pressure is present. Applying air pressure up to 100 psi adjusts the collet from fully closed to fully open. Air is delivered to the rotating collet assembly through a custom-designed frictionless, seal-less, rotary union. This 100% noncontact rotary union design ensures a lifetime of maintenance-free operation. The combination collet chuck and rotary union also has significantly less friction and inertia than external assemblies created from discrete parts. This reduced inertia improves system performance by allowing higher peak acceleration and reducing position error during laser machining operations.

Brushless Direct-Drive

The ASR1100 series utilizes direct-drive brushless motor technology to maximize positioning performance. Direct-drive technology is optimized for 24/7 production environments because there are no brushes to replace and no gear trains or belts to maintain. Direct drive also provides quicker acceleration and higher top speeds than gear- or belt-driven mechanisms, yielding higher total overall throughput. This makes the ASR1100 an excellent choice for processing small-diameter tubular materials.

The low maintenance and high throughput characteristics of the ASR1100 provide a stage that yields the lowest total cost of ownership.

Compact Packaging

The design of the ASR1100 series direct-drive rotary stage was optimized to minimize stage weight and rotating inertia. The resulting product, with a net overall weight under 5 kg, is significantly lighter than competitive product offerings. When used in a multi-axis system the lower weight results in an increase in performance for all positioning stages carrying the rotary stage.
