  • Page 9: About This Document

    SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION This manual provides instructions for Motoman’s Type I and Type II drive assemblies – MH75, MH150, MH450, MH1000, MH1500, and MH3000, headstocks, and headstock/tailstock combinations with MotoMount. MH-Series drive assemblies are used universally throughout Motoman’s product line. Appendix A and B of this manual contain parts lists with exploded views and performance specifications for the MH-Series.
  • Page 10: System Overview

    1.2.1 NS600 Module The NS600 control solution uses Yaskawa Electric America (YEA) components; specifically an amplifier and the NS600 motion control option. The NS600 selects motions via a binary input pattern received from standard XRC outputs. Motion progress/status is transmitted to the XRC via outputs from the NS600. This handshaking interaction of the inputs and outputs creates the loss of coordinated motion, a feature that can be desirable in certain applications.
  • Page 11: System Layout - Type I

    INTRODUCTION 1.2.3 System Layout – Type I The Type I MH-Series positioner kits include four drive assemblies: MH75, MH150, MH450, and MH1500. The kits are available in four basic mechanical configurations: the drive assembly, the drive assembly with MotoMount, the headstock positioner assembly, and the head and tailstock positioner assembly.
