IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages —Drives and Motors Stepper Drive Version One stepper-motor configuration is available: IMS-BPP. This version is equipped with a 4000 pts/rev. rotary encoder located directly on the screw, and is driven in micro-step. Micro-Step Drive This is the drive for stepper or pulse-driven motors, transmitted by the electronic unit, which entails a theoretical movement of the motor by one fraction of a full-step.

“Encoder” and “Index Pulse” are “differential pair” (type RS-422) type output signals. Using these signals permits a high immunity to noise. Emission circuits generally used by Newport are 26LS31 or MC3487. Reception circuits to use are 26LS32 or MC3486. EDH0183En1080 — 09/18...
IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages —Connection to Newport Controllers Warnings on Controllers Controllers are intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read the controller user’s manual carefully before operating the instrument and pay attention to all written warnings and cautions.
(ground continuity provided by the cable). For applications where the standard 5-meter cable (MCAB-5) included with your stage is not adequate, Newport offers different length cables designed to ensure the integrity of your positioning application. These cables are specially shielded and terminated with Newport’s standard SUB-D25 connectors.
IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages —Connection to Non-Newport Electronics Connections WARNING Newport is not responsible for malfunction or damage of IMS stages when used with non-Newport controllers. WARNING “ ” Newport guarantees compliance of IMS stages only if used with Newport cables and controllers.
IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages IMS Stages without Top Plate Interface Sometimes, it is necessary to remove the top plate interface of a IMS stage (to make an XY assembly, for example). To do that, just unscrew the 4 CHc M6 0.63 (16) on sqr 5.91 (150) screws at the 4 corners of the plate with the wrench supplied with the stage.
IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages —XY Assemblies ATTENTION All configurations of XY travel ranges are possible. However, it is recommended to place the IMS stage with the longer travel range at the bottom. The maximum travel range of the top level IMS stage depends on the cantilever load and dynamic specifications to reach.
IMS Series High-Performance Long-Travel Linear Stages —Accessory: EQ180 Bracket Newport's EQ180 bracket (to order separately) is ideal for mounting our IMS Series of linear stages and RV120 or RV160 rotation stages for stable and stiff muti-axis positioning systems. INTERFACE PLATE 17.5°...
Any attempt to disassemble or repair a stage without prior authorization will void your warranty. 10.3 Calibration CAUTION It is recommended to return your IMS stage to Newport once a year for recalibration to its original specifications. EDH0183En1080 — 09/18...
