Mounting Stages Together
The 810X stages are fully modular: they can be stacked to get any
combination from one to six degrees of freedom.
Use the 8-32 UNC- 2B X .18 deep-threaded mounting holes on the top
of the stages to mount the units to one another. Torques should not
exceed 250 in-oz (18 kgf-cm).
Connecting the Components
The following section takes you through the steps needed to connect
the closed-loop stage components together, including:
1. Connecting the closed-loop stage motor cables to the amplifier
2. Connecting your 48-volt power supply to the amplifier
3. Connecting the amplifier to your motion control card
4. Connecting the encoder cable to your motion control card
5. Making the appropriate software settings
Before you begin setting up, you may wish to familiarize yourself with
the New Focus components. Figures 1 and 2 show the 810X stages and
the cables you will need to connect. The amplifier’s front-panel
connections are defined in Figure 3.
