Product Description
MX80L Positioner
Although the MX80L is small in size and weight, it is large on performance and reliability. All key
components are integral to the unit - residing within the body of the stage to provide a clean looking,
reliable, unobstructed package. At the heart of the MX80L is an innovative non-contact linear servo
motor (patent pending). This direct drive motor has been optimized for force, speed, and acceleration, to
deliver outstanding performance and response. A high precision non-contact linear encoder provides
sub-micron resolution and repeatability. Selectable resolutions range from 10 nanometers to 5 microns.
Precision ground “zero cage creep” crossed roller bearing sets provide extremely smooth - precise linear
translation. Travel limit and home sensors are conveniently designed into the unit for easy adjustment
over the entire travel of the stage. Although there are no moving cables, 1 or 3 meters of hi-flex cabling
depending on configuration option is included and wired directly into the units. 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
generate impact loads that may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive
components.
•
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. Daedal will drill holes if
necessary; 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 assembly.
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.
