5.1.4. Sample Positioning System
Like the previous units, the control and positioning unit consists of several individual
subassemblies, which are constructed first.
First, take the MT401(/M) base plate and add
4 dowel pins.
In this setup, we use the MT405 to side-
mount the motors to the MT1(/M) stage. Do
the following for the two MT1(/M)-Z8 stages:
First, take the 3/32" hex key from the MT405.
Remove the end-mount adapter by removing
the two inner screws.
Do not remove the locking plate and attempt
to mount an actuator on that side of the stage.
First, screw the two parts of the MT405 to the
side of the stage. The hollow part that holds
the barrel/motor is mounted to the thin, lower
part of the stage. The part with the silver inset
is screwed to the thick, upper part of the
stage. Make sure to tighten the respective
screws symmetrically. Insert the motor and
tighten the clamping screw.
Customers with the metric kit should make
sure to label and store the MT405’s 3/32"
(
imperial
) hex key for future use.
