404LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 2 - 404LXR Series Table Specifications 404LXR 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. In multi-axes applications, the primary positioner at the bottom of the stack usually establishes the load limits for the combined axes.

404LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 3 - How to Use the 404LXR Cabling The 404LXR is available with two (2) types of cabling: • Cable Transport Module • This is a complete cable management system including high flex cable (life rating of 10 million cycles, dependent on motion cycle speeds, acceleration and environmental condition), cable carriers, and connector system.
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. (Chapter 2, 404LXR Series Technical Data to determine bearing load life for your application) •...
Encoder Accuracy and Slope Correction Encoder Accuracy The 404LXR Series makes use of an optical linear tape 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 404LXR.
Page 32
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.
404LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 4 - Performance • Step #3: We subtract the error from the original distance (880 – 0.0748) = 879.9252 mm. • Step #4: Here we simply assign the new calculated distance as our current command distance.
404LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 4 - Performance Temperature Effect on Accuracy Travel (mm) 5 degrees C 10 degrees C 15 degrees C 20 degrees C 25 degrees C 30 degrees C Thermal Effects on Repeatability Repeatability will not be effected as long as the temperature remains constant. However the repeatability will be effected as the temperature changes from one level to another.
404LXR Series Product Manual Chapter 4 - Performance Compensating for Thermal Effects How much you will have to compensate for the above thermal effects depend on the application requirements for accuracy. If your accuracy requirements are high, you either need to control base temperature or program a thermal compensation factor into your motion program.

Construction: Designed by Divisions of Parker Hannifin, the motor takes its operating principle from Parker’s slotless rotary motors which have grown popular over the past few years. The magnetic rail is simply a flat iron plate with magnets bonded to it. The forcer is unique. It begins with a coil and a “backiron”...
