Chapter 2 - Table Specifications Test Methodology Published accuracy and repeatability specifications are subject to the testing methodology. Parker’s methodology provides specifications over the entire table travel regardless of start or finish position. The accuracy and repeatability specifications are based on the peak to peak error measured by a laser interferometer and prism located at 50mm above the center of the table.
406LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 2 - Table Specifications 406LXR Series Technical Data The useful life of a linear table at full catalog specifications is dependent on the forces acting upon it. These forces include both static components resulting from payload weight, and dynamic components due to acceleration/deceleration of the load.

1) Compatibility is defined as not affecting the cleanroom class rating with the addition of this product for classes shown. The Class 1 rating in the table refers to class 1 levels of 0.3m and larger particles detected in Parker’s Class 10 chamber. For complete class 1 compatibility, the particle count for the 0.1 and 0.2m particles would also need to be taken into consideration.

Additionally, in X-Y Systems the overhung portion of the Y-axis may not met specifications due to the additional error caused by deflection and non-support of the base. Contact Parker for guidelines on specifications of overhang applications. Mounting Methods he 406LXR can be mounted via the three (3) following methods: 1.

C H A P T E R F O U R Performance IN THIS CHAPTER • Acceleration Limits ................26 • Speed Limits ..................27 • Encoder Accuracy and Slope Correction ..........27 • Thermal Effects on Accuracy and Repeatability ........ 29...
Bearing loading due to high acceleration may reduce bearing life to an unacceptable application limit. This is not usually a limiting factor unless loading is significantly cantilevered causing high moment loads during accelerations. See Chapter 2, 406LXR Series Technical Data to determine bearing load life for your application.
0.1 micron 0.3 m/s 10 Mhz 3. Force / Speed Limit The available force of the 406LXR reduces as speed increases. (Chapter 2, 406LXR Series Technical Data) Encoder Accuracy and Slope Correction Encoder Accuracy The 406LXR Series makes use of an optical linear encoder for positional feedback. This device consists of a readhead, which is connected to the carriage, and a steel tape scale, which is mounted inside the base of the 406LXR.

Below is a sample program showing how to correct for slope error using variables. This example program will work with the 6K as well as the 6000 Series Parker Controllers. Step 2 through 3 of this program should be made a subroutine. This subroutine can then be executed for each distance.
406LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 4 - Performance Step 2: In this step, we first convert 1280 mm to 1.28 meters my dividing by 1000. Next we multiply by the slope factor to calculate the slope error distance of this move (1.28 * 0.085) = 0.1088 mm.

However the repeatability will be effected as the temperature changes from one level to another.
406LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 4 - Performance These are mounting surfaces or other items which produce a thermal change that effect the temperature of the 406LXR base (i.e. Machine base with motors or other heat generating devices that heat the mounting surface and thus thermally effect the 406LXR base).

406LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 6 - Maintenance and Lubrication Filter Cleaning and Replacement. During operation air is drawn into the body of the LXR thru the vents located on each end of the base. The movement of the carriage pulls air in and out of the body cavity in considerable volume. These vents are covered by filters to prevent the build up of dust and other air borne contaminates in the body of the table.
