Hardware Installation
If you are switching the computer system associated with your Mach-
1™ Micromechanical
System to another one, you will need to reinstall the PCI-express card and import the
configuration
file(s) (“MA056XXX.xml”
for all systems
and “FTXXXX.cal” for system
s with a
multiple-axis load cell) in the Mach-1 Motion folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\
Biomomentum\Mach1Motion.
The main cable connections are shown in Figure 3. Connect the cable (cable to DAQ card) from
the load cell amplifier to the PCI-express card (back of computer). For systems with a multiple-
axis load cell, connect the multiple-axis load cell cable from the load cell amplifier to the multiple-
axis load cell amplifier. Connect the labeled interface box(es) to the appropriate channel(s) of the
motion controller. Finally, connect the Stage Cables from the stage(s) to the corresponding axis
(axes) in the controller, with axis 1 being the vertical stage, axis 2 the first horizontal stage or the
torsion stage and axis 3 the second horizontal stage or the torsion stage. Power up the system.
Figure 2: Cable Connections
The end with wrench flats of a single-axis load cell should always be toward the machine
while the cylindrical end should be toward the sample (Figure 3A). Figure 3B shows the
orientation of the multiple-axis load cell. Figure 3C describes the use of the stress relief cable
clamp and Figure 3D shows the screw interface with the multiple-axis load cell.
