U651 Rotation Stage
NOTICE
Unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can cause damage to the controller and affect the performance of the U-651.
Only use genuine PI parts to connect the U-651 to the controller.
If you need longer cables, use extension cables from PI (p. 10).
NOTICE
Unwanted changes in position when mounted vertically!
The platform could move unexpectedly if the load exceeds the rotation stage's drive torque
when the U-651 is mounted vertically (e.g., due to pulling forces on the cable of the load).
Unwanted changes in the position of the platform can damage the drive, the load or the
surroundings.
Take suitable measures to make sure that the load is lower than the drive torque (p. 35)
when the rotation stage is mounted vertically, e.g., the cables connected to the load
should have sufficient strain relief.
INFORMATION
For optimum repeatability, all components must be connected firmly together.
INFORMATION
When moving the platform in a power off state manually, differences in the holding force may
be noticeable across the travel range.
There are mechanical reasons for fluctuations in the holding force and they have no influence
on the function of the rotation stage.
If possible, simulate the rotation stage motions with a mounted load or make suitable
calculations in order to identify collisions or unfavorable center of gravity
constellations.
If necessary, take suitable constructive measures to avoid collisions and instabilities in
the overall system.
Avoid or mark danger zones that result from the installation of the rotation stage and
the application in accordance with the legal regulations.
For more information on operating conditions, refer to the "Motor Power" section (p. 38).
