Sold & Serviced By: Toll Free Phone: 877-378-0240 249 m m Determining Customers ’ Nee Tollswww.servo2go.co Common questions you could ask to determine customers ’ requirements: • Range of travel • Load • Speed • Accuracy and Repeatability • Number of axes • Configuration for multi-axis (XY, XYZ, XY Theta, etc...) • Type of motion (linear, rotary, tilt) • Consider cantilever loads for multi-axis systems. High loads or long travel XY may need a linear guide for added support Other: • Remind customers about the built-in controllers/drivers and the daisy-chaining capabilities of our devices • Ask about the application

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Sold & Serviced By: Powering Zaber Devices • When power is daisy-chained, it is recommended that a power Toll Free Phone: 877-378-0240 Toll Free Fax: 877-378-0249 sales@servo2go.com www.servo2go.com supply is used for every 3 to 4 devices. If too many devices are connected, some devices may not get enough current or enough voltage and will not function. • Plug power supplies to the middle of a chain, rather than the end, to prevent excessive voltage drop. • Zaber devices requiring over 16V can not daisy-chain power. • High voltage devices can be identified by a three-pin connector in place of a cylindrical power jack. • A PMF3 adaptor will be supplied with all high voltage devices not purchased as part of a kit.

Sold & Serviced By: Accuracy Definition of Specs The maximum deviation between the actual final position and the instructed position (over the full range of travel) Toll Free Phone: 877-378-0240 Toll Free Fax: 877-378-0249 sales@servo2go.com www.servo2go.com Resolution (Theoretical) Repeatability Backlash (hysteresis) The smallest increment that a motion control device can be instructed to move. The actual motion of the device may be different, due to sticktion, backlash or other mechanical issues. The deviation in actual final position when repeatedly instructing a device to move to a target position, approaching from the same direction every time. The change in actual final position that results from approaching the target position from the opposite direction.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Sold & Serviced By: Toll Free Phone: 877-378-0240 Weaknesses • Lacking very high accuracy stages with linear encoders • Single-axis controllers make it hard to control smooth curves • Incomplete line of vacuum-compatible products To address these weaknesses, we are: Toll Free Fax: 877-378-0249 sales@servo2go.com www.servo2go.com • Developing encoder feedback into several devices. We expect to release our first A-LSQ-E device by June 30, 2011. • Exploring the development of a multi-axis controller. We are also looking into using third- party, multi-axis controllers; a solution that we can provide now with LSM, LSQ, LST, and RS stages. • We have released the T-LSM-SV2 (T-LSM-SV1 coming soon), and we are preparing to release vacuum compatible versions of the T-NA (SV1 and SV2). We will also reorganize the website to have all the vacuum devices under one section (TSB-V1 and T-MM-V1).

Device starts turning as soon as the power is on or amber LED blinks all the time Nothing happens when I turn the potentiometer knob either way. Nothing happens when I send a move instruction. When I try to move the device it just makes a noise and vibrates. Stall condition: The device makes noise but does not move. There is no communication between the computer and my Zaber device, the amber light does not come on or flash. Check The potentiometer knob is probably not centered. Make sure the knob is set to the middle position. You can feel a slight detent in the middle of its rotation. The potentiometer is probably not centered. Turn the knob slowly until you feel the center detent. Manual control may have been disabled. Issue the Restore Settings Instruction (command 36) or enable the potentiometer using the Set Device Mode Instruction (command 40). The device needs to be "homed" first. You must issue the Home Instruction (command 1) after power up to home the device. There may be too much load that the device is trying to push. The actuator stalls in this situation. Try removing the load and see if the problem goes away. You can achieve higher thrust or torque by lowering the speed of the device using the Set Target Speed Instruction (command 42). Try removing all external loads. If the device now extends and retracts normally, the problem is excessive load. Try to reduce the load or change step time and acceleration parameters to ensure the load is less than the maximum thrust. If a linear motion device is stalled in its fully extended position and remains stalled without any external load applied it means the lead screw has been over extended and is stuck. You can usually get the lead screw unstuck by pushing on it after issuing the home command. If a device is stalled (with no external load) in a position that is not fully extended then it requires servicing. There are several things you should check: http://www.zaber.com/wiki/T-Series/Troubleshooting
