How to Use the MX80S
Mounting Orientations
The MX80S can be mounted horizontal, inverted, or side. For all mounting orientations, the ca-
bles should be secured as to not interfere with the movement of the carriage and bearings.
Mounting Surface Requirements
•
The positioner must be mounted to a flat, stable surface, with a flatness error less than or
equal to 0.025mm/300mm for operation or specifications will be greatly varied from pub-
lished specification. To meet catalog specifications the surface must have a flatness error
less than or equal to 0.003mm/300mm for Standard grade and 0.001mm/300mm for Preci-
sion grade.
•
Catalog specifications may deviate for positioners mounted to surfaces that do not meet
the above conditions.
•
If the intended mounting surface cannot meet these specifications a separate rigid mount-
ing plate meeting these specifications should be used to mount to the main structure.
•
If mounting conditions require that the table base is overhung, table specifications will not
be met over that portion of the table. Additionally, in X
-
Y Systems the overhung portion of
the Y
-
axis may not met specifications due to the additional error caused by deflection and
non
-
support of the base. Contact Parker for guidelines on specifications of overhang appli-
cations.
Load Mounting Requirements
Dowel holes are included in the carriage of the MX80S for repeatable mounting of loads/fixturing. When
bolting payload to carriage take precaution in using bolts M4 with 7mm of engagement as to not damage
the table.
Use appropriate length bolt.
The MX80S compact design requires proper sized bolts to be used when mounting payloads to the
carriage. Excessive length bolts can damage bearings.
