This manual provides a guideline and procedures for installing the Danaher
Motion DDL Ironcore and Ironless Linear motors and integrating them with
the SERVO
STAR
®
motor driver. This manual also contains spaces to
record pertinent information about the stage installation. This data should be
maintained in a log about the machine for future reference. Troubleshooting
procedures are provided to assist with any problems that may occur during
installation. These procedures assume that all other devices pertinent to
system operation have been installed and are operating normally.
1.1.1.
IRONCORE LINEAR MOTOR
The Ironcore Linear motor is best suited for applications requiring high
acceleration of large masses or maintaining stiffness during machining or
process forces. Due to the steel laminations incorporated in the coil
assembly, this type of motor has high magnetic attractive forces ranging
from over 300 pounds up to many tons. Special attention must be paid to
this attractive force when designing stages for this type of motor.
1.1.2.
IRONLESS LINEAR MOTOR
The Ironless Linear motor is best suited for applications that require very
high positional accuracy or precise constant velocity movement. The motor
offers the advantages of light mass; zero cogging force, and absolutely no
magnetic attraction.
