Reference Point Switch
The reference point switch is a sensor whose fixed position serves as the reference point for
incremental sensor signals.
Limit switches
The limit switches are sensors at each end of the travel range that enable the electronics to
abort motion in order to prevent the motion platform from colliding with the mechanical
hard stop.
4.3.2
Drive
The drive generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
The drive comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Motor
The motor generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
Rotary encoder
The rotary encoder measures the motor shaft's angle of rotation. This signal can be used by
suitable electronics commutating the motor and calculating the position of the motion
platform after referencing.
4.3.3
Holding brake
The holding brake blocks the drivetrain at rest.
4.3.4
Purge air system
The purge air system protects the drive screw and guides of the L-417.099232B against
surrounding dust.
The purge air system comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
