New IGM Systems from Aerotech Provide High Stiffness and Efficient Form Factor
Aerotech's IGM systems are scalable designs that cater to an application's unique and specific needs. Fewer structural loop parts in the system ensure greater stiffness. Integration of machine components and granite makes the system compact. Since each axis is built directly into the main granite structure, the axis design parameters can be easily optimized. All systems are custom-engineered and...
