N565 NEXACT® Linear Stage
Mounting the N565 onto an underlying surface
1.
Only for mounting from
above:
When the required mounting holes in the base body of the N-565 are covered by the
platform:
−
Start the positioner (p. 23) and command the platform to a suitable position (refer
to the user manual for the controller and arrows in the illustration).
2.
Align the positioner on the underlying surface so that the corresponding mounting
holes in the positioner and underlying surface are in line.
3.
Screw the screws into the mounting holes according to the selected mounting option
(p. 23):
−
Mounting from
above
: Insert the screws through the platform and the base body of
the N-565 into the underlying surface.
−
Mounting from
below
: Insert the screws through the underlying surface into the
base body of the N-565. Maximum screw-in depth: 7.5 mm.
Maximum torque: 0.5 Nm
4.
Make sure that screw heads do not protrude from the countersunk holes.
5.
Check that the N-565 is fixed firmly to the underlying surface.

Building an XY System
Two N-565 positioners can be combined to an XY system.
Contact our customer service department (p. 31) for other possible combinations.
NOTICE
Impermissibly high load on the linear stages!
In an XY system, the linear stage for the Y axis must be moved as well. Impermissibly high loads
impair the motion and can damage the linear stages.
Include the mass of the moved linear stage in the calculation of the load to be moved.
For all linear stages in a multi-axis system: Do
not
exceed the maximum permissible load.
For all linear stages in a multi-axis system, make sure that forces acting on the motion
platform in the respective direction of motion do
not
exceed the active push/pull force of
the drive (p. 33).
Designations in these instructions:
Lower positioner
: Forms the basis of the multi-axis system (X axis), is attached to an
underlying surface
Upper positioner
: Forms the Y axis of the multi-axis system, is attached to the lower
positioner rotated by 90°
