Chapter 1 - Introduction
Product Description
404XR Positioner
The 404XR is a sleek compact positioner (47.3 x 95 mm) capable of carrying relatively high loads up to
a distance of 600 mm. Its quick and accurate positioning capability can be attributed to a high strength
extruded housing, square rail ball bearing system, and precision ground ballscrew drive. With its low
profile design, the 404XR is ideal for space restricted applications and its light weight construction
makes it well suited for multi-axis systems.
406XR Positioner
The 406XR is the rugged big brother of the 404XR Series. It can position greater loads (up to 630 kgf)
over longer (2 meters) travels. Because of its size and strength (28 kg-m, 200 lb-ft. moment load
capacity) this durable table is ideal as the base unit in a multi-axis system. From high resolution to high
throughput, selectable ballscrew leads (5, 10, 20, 25 mm) make the desired resolution/velocity ratio
easy to achieve, and stainless steel seal strips alleviate environmental concerns.
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 404XR and 406XR 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.
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 positioner. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the positioner’s specifications and void
the product warranty.
