Product Description
LX80L Positioner
Although the LX80L is small in size and weight, it is large on performance and reliability. All key com-
ponents are integral to the unit - residing within the body of the stage to provide a clean looking, reli-
able, unobstructed package. At the heart of the LX80L is an innovative non-contact linear servo motor
(patent pending). This direct drive motor has been optimized for force, speed, and acceleration, to de-
liver outstanding performance and response. A high precision non-contact linear encoder provides
sub-micron resolution and repeatability. Selectable resolutions range from 0.1 to 5 microns. Travel limit
and home sensors are conveniently designed into the unit for easy adjustment over the entire travel of
the stage. Precision square rail bearings provide load support and precise linear translation, while ef-
fectively countering the problematic effects of heat, high speeds, and high acceleration. The cable
management system is contained within the table so there are no external moving cables. One or
three meters of hi-flex extension cables are options for connectorizing the table. This hi-flex cabling
addresses cable flexing concerns associated with the second or third axis in multi-axis system.
Unpacking
Unpacking
Carefully remove the positioner from the shipping container and inspect the unit for any evidence of
shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your local authorized distributor. Please save
the shipping container for damage inspection or future transportation.
Incorrect handling of the positioner may adversely affect the performance of the unit in its application.
Please observe the following guidelines for handling and mounting of your new positioner.
DO NOT allow the positioner to drop onto the mounting surface. Dropping the positioner can gener-
ate impact loads that may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive com-
ponents.
DO NOT drill holes into the positioner. Drilling holes into the positioner can generate particles and
machining forces that may effect the operation of the positioner. Parker will drill holes if neces-
sary; contact your local authorized distributor.
DO NOT subject the unit to impact loads such as hammering, riveting, etc. Impacts loads generated
by hammering or riveting may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive
components.
DO NOT lift the positioner by cables or cable management system. Lifting positioner by cables or
cable management system may effect electrical connections and/or cable management assem-
bly. The unit should be lifted by the base structure only.
DO NOT expose positioner to mist, spray or submersion in liquids.
DO NOT disassemble positioner. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the positioner’s specifications
and void the product warranty.
