In today’s ultra-precision manufacturing landscape—serving optics, aerospace, and semiconductor industries—even sub-micron deviations can lead to costly defects. ABTech’s rotary tables, including air‑bearing, oil hydrostatic, and mechanical‑bearing variants, enable nanometer-level control, supporting high-accuracy equipment and motion control systems essential to these sectors.
What Is a Rotary Table—and Why It Matters
A rotary table is a precision device that provides controlled rotational motion around a fixed axis. For advanced applications, ABTech designs rotary tables with exceptionally low runout and unmatched repeatability. These systems are a cornerstone of advanced manufacturing, helping companies meet increasing demands for productivity, automation, and regulatory compliance.
Three Types of ABTech Rotary Tables:
-
- Air-bearing tables: Designed for non-contact rotation and zero maintenance. Radial/axial error <2 µ″ (50 nm).
- Oil hydrostatic tables: Deliver superior load stiffness and stability in harsh, high-capacity applications.
- Mechanical-bearing tables: Budget-friendly with sub-micron repeatability and excellent modularity.
Air-Bearing Rotary Tables – Nanometer-Level Precision for Optics Manufacturing
For environments where vibration, friction, and contamination are unacceptable—air-bearing rotary tables are the gold standard. These systems are the backbone of optical metrology, photolithography, and ultra-clean inspection environments.
Why It Matters: These tables provide vibration-free motion, cleanroom compliance, and nanometer resolution, directly impacting product quality and regulatory certifications.
Ideal Applications:
- Laser and lens alignment
- High-resolution wafer positioning
- Contamination-sensitive surface inspection
Oil Hydrostatic Rotary Tables – Maximum Load Meets Micron Control for Aerospace Manufacturing
In aerospace, nuclear, and turbine assembly, the need for ultra-precise rotation under extreme load is paramount. ABTech’s oil hydrostatic rotary tables deliver exceptional stiffness, stability, and longevity.
Why It Matters: These systems maintain consistent motion under weight, shock, or temperature change—perfect for meeting AS9100, ITAR, or NQA-1 compliance.
Ideal Applications:
- Satellite and turbine part inspection
- Engine component assembly
- Defense-grade motion systems
Mechanical-Bearing Rotary Tables – High-Accuracy, Scalable Performance for Semiconductor Manufacturing
For OEMs and automation integrators balancing performance with affordability, ABTech’s mechanical-bearing systems provide a strong value proposition in semiconductor manufacturing environments.
Why It Matters: With sub-micron repeatability, configurable components like vacuum chucks and encoders, and plug-and-play installation, these systems serve both inspection and high-volume production lines.
Ideal Applications:
- Autonomous inspection cells
- Optical and sensor calibration rigs
- Flexible manufacturing cells
