Motors

The list of motorized stages driven by the XPS-C8 is shown in Tab. 11.1, the motion characteristics of these stages are shown in Tab. 11.2, and the electrical characteristics of the motors involved are shown in Tab. 11.3. The systems for inboard and outboard are identical.


Table 11.1: Motor types and drivers. The driver for all stepper motors is XPS-DRV01. Note: ZSTG will in fact be controlled by the Delta Tau PMAC and driven by an ACS driver (see Tab. 1.1).
  Slot Stage Motor
XSTG 1 UTM100PE1 UE31PE
YSTG 2 UZM80PP.1 UE41PP
ZSTG NA MFN25PP UE16PP
XDET 3 MTM250PP1HL UE63PP
YDET 4 UZM80PP.1 UE41PP
ZDET 5 UTM50PP1HL UE41PP
ZOSA 6 MFN08PP UE16PP



Table 11.2: Encoder resolution directions of motion. The encoder resolution is at the same time, the interval in which we have the XPS send out pulses to trigger the data acquisition (see 11.4). Note that the ZOSA and ZSTG motors have as their home positions the limit switch position of the stage at the travel limit where the stage is closest to the motor. The others have true home switches.
  Encoder Resolution [$\mu$m] STXM +dir XPS +dir Home
XSTG 1.0 outboard inboard outboard
YSTG 0.10 up up middle
ZSTG 0.074004 downstream upstream downstream
ZOSA 0.074004 downstream downstream upstream
XDET 1.0 outboard inboard middle
