ASR-E Series User's Manual 

Closed-loop motorized XY scanning stages with built-in motor encoders 

                                 

 

Disclaimer 

Zaber’s devices are not intended for use in any critical medical, aviation, or military applications or situations where 

a product's use or failure could cause personal injury, death, or damage to property. Zaber disclaims any and all 

liability for injury or other damages resulting from the use of our products. 

Precautions 

Zaber's autodetect peripheral axes are designed to be used effortlessly with Zaber's line of autodetect controllers. 

The ASR-E includes onboard memory that allows Zaber's controllers to autodetect the model and set reasonable 

parameters. See the 

Protocol Manual

 for more information on how to modify the settings. Damage to the axis may 

result if the settings are not correct. To use your Zaber peripheral with a third-party controller, review the motor, 

sensor, and encoder specifications and pin-outs carefully. 

 

Zaber’s motion control devices are precision instruments and must be handled with care. In particular, moving parts 

must be treated with care. Avoid axial loads in excess of the rated thrust load, axial and radial impact, dust and 

other contaminants and damage to the lead screw thread. These will reduce the performance of the device below 

stated specifications. 

Noise Emissions 

The A-weighted emission sound pressure level (SPL) of this device does not exceed 70 dB(A) during intended use. 

The A-weighted emission sound pressure level (SPL) of this device may reach up to 79 dB(A) if the stage is stalled.
