CAUTION:
Limit the command to 5V and use the “Abort on Position Error” option of the
controller in order to protect the motor during initial integration and conditioning.
Do not perform the conditioning procedure in vacuum environment. This
procedure must be performed in ambient air conditions only.
To perform the conditioning procedure, follow the steps below:
1. Set the conditioning procedure to cover the whole expected operated
travel of the Ceramic Driving Strip.
2. Run the stage repetitively from end to end in closed-loop.
3. Profile: Velocity - 100 mm/sec; acceleration / Deceleration =0.1 to 1m/s
2.
4. The AB5/AB51 should be disabled during the dwell time.
5. Duty cycle - 25%. This means that the dwell time (AB5/AB51 disabled)
should be three times longer than the move time (AB5/AB51 enabled).
6. Conditioning duration :
•
8 hours for all HR and ST series motors.
•
16 hours for all DuraMotor series motors.
•
18 to 20 hours for applications which use Ceramic Coated Strips
(CCS).
7. Wipe the Ceramic driving Strip surface with IPA (analytically pure grade
isopropyl alcohol), without retracting the motor's fingers, approximately
one hour into the conditioning process.
8. At the end of the conditioning procedure, wipe the drive strip with IPA
without retracting the motor's fingers.
9. Run the motor for 10 min as IPA may leave some residual hydro carbons
on the surface that affects performance.
10. The motor is now ready for operation.
