Product Description
401XR and 402XR Positioners
The 401XR and 402XR “Mini” Series positioners enhance the 400XR family of precision linear
positioners, addressing applications that involve precise positioning of smaller payloads within a
very small space envelope. These ballscrew driven positioners were developed to address the
needs of industries such as photonics, life sciences, semiconductor, and instrumentation, where
technology advancements dictate miniaturization of work envelopes.
400XR Product Family
‘Modular Flexibility’ is the attribute that clearly distinguishes the 400XR family of linear tables from
all others. This product family allows each unit to be easily configured to meet unique
requirements, from the very basic to the highly complex. Field upgrades and redesigns are easily
accommodated; simply follow the mounting procedure that ships with the desired assembly or
individual part. This compatible family of positioners offers reliable accuracy, versatility and
strength. Adapters and brackets make it easy to combine 401XR and 402XR positioners, as
required, to form multi-axis systems without special design or manufacturing. The 400XR family of
products are rugged enough to perform well in the industrial automation environment (automotive,
packaging) and yet they’re precise enough to excel in the high end semi-conductor and
instrumentation markets.
Unpacking
Unpacking
Carefully remove the positioner from the shipping crate and inspect the unit for any evidence of shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to your local authorized distributor. Please save the shipping
crate for damage inspection or future transportation. Standard handling and lifting practices should be
employed, product may be heavy.
Incorrect handling of the positioner may adversely affect the performance of the unit in its application.
Please observe the following guidelines for handling and mounting of your new positioner.
•
DO NOT allow the positioner to drop onto the mounting surface. Dropping the positioner can generate
impact loads that may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive components.
•
DO NOT drill holes into the positioner. Drilling holes into the positioner can generate particles and
machining forces that may effect the operation of the positioner. Parker Hannifin Corporation will drill
holes if necessary; contact your local authorized distributor.
•
DO NOT subject the unit to impact loads such as hammering, riveting, etc. Impacts loads generated by
hammering or riveting may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive components.
•
DO NOT push in magnetically retained strip seals when removing positioner from shipping crate.
Damaging strip seals may create additional friction during travel and may jeopardize the ability of the
strip seals to protect the interior of the positioner.
•
DO NOT submerge the positioner in liquids.
•
DO NOT disassemble p
ositioner. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the positioner’s specifications and
void the product warranty.
