Safety: EIC 1010-1, safety standards for measurement, lab and control equipment. Newport Corporation shall not be liable for damages when using the product: • Modification of the product. • Using modified connector, or modified or not supplied cables. • Connecting this product to non-CE equipment.
Stop using the stage immediately, switch off the motor power and then disconnect the electronics power supply. After checking that smoke is no longer being emitted contact your Newport service facility and request repairs. Never attempt to repair the stage yourself as this can be dangerous. WARNING Make sure that this stage is not exposed to moisture and that liquid does not get into the stage.
To reach the specifications stated for RC, rotation stages must be fixed on a plane surface with a flatness <5 µm. CAUTION Contact your Newport service facility to request cleaning and specification control every year. EDH0168En1030 – 02/03 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

RV Series rotation stages. RECOMMENDATION We recommend you read carefully the chapter “Connection to electronics” before using the RV rotation stage. EDH0168En1030 – 02/03 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Hexagon socket for manual movement of the mobile core At the end of the drive screw in RV stages (side opposite motor), a hexagon socket is given for manual movement of the mobile core, using an “Allen” wrench. EDH0168En1030 – 02/03...
Do not attempt to move the mobile core manually with the rotation stage switched on. For optimal performance, we recommend the use of our ESP or MM series motion controllers. The RV Series rotation stages are supplied with a 3-meter cable for connection to our motion controllers. Design Details Base Material...
Linear errors include: cosine errors, inaccuracy of screw or linear scale pitch, angular deviation at the measuring point (Abbe error) and thermal expansion effect. All Newport motion electronics can compensate for linear accuracy errors by step encoder correction. The relation between absolute accuracy and on-axis accuracy is as follow:...
High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages The testing of on-axis accuracy, repeatability, and reversal error are made systematically with our test equipment in an air-conditioned room (20 °C ±1 °C Each rotation stage is tested with a precision optical encoder. A linear cycle with 21 measures on the travel and 4 cycles in each direction gives a total of 164 points.

Working Reliability and Safety The optimum reliability of the components of the stage was ensured right from the initial design phases of the RV rotation stages. CETIM participated in this study and ensured the conformity of the approach used. Several tests were conducted in order to guarantee the safety of working with a minimum level of maintenance.

High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages NOTE RV80PEHL and RVPPHL rotation stage are primarily designed for appli- cations requiring the direct positioning accuracy to be maintained to within the stage’s mechanical resolution when power is switched off, such as operation in vacuum (10 -6 Torr vacuum preparation on request). In this case, specifications for speed (°/sec), load capacity (Cz) and torque (Mz) have to be divided by two.
High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages DC-Servo Drive Versions DC-motor-driven stages are offered in four variations: • Two high-speed DC-servo versions (CC and HAT) enabling speeds up to 80 °/sec. The CCHAT features a high-resolution direct reading encoder and tachometer for superior repeatability, position stability and speed regulation.
High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages Manual Drive The RV Series rotation stages are also available with manual drive (MS) and rotary encoder providing 0.001° resolution. The manual knob permits a rotation of 2 °/rev. (RV80MS) or 4 °/rev. (RV120MS to RV350MS).
Use appropriate TTL type receivers. Inhibition of Limit Switches In standard, except for HAT & HAHLT versions, RV rotation stages are equipped with limit switches (limited to ±170°) for protecting the equipment. A switch enables inhibiting the limit switches in order to use the rotation stage over 360°...
The incremental sensor operates following the photoelectric measurement principle, with a disk including slides. When the sensor shaft turns, the sensor generates square signals in quadrature, sent to pins #19, #20, #23 and #24 of the 25-pin Sub-D connector. Newport User Stage Encoder Phase A...
High-Performance Precision Rotation 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.
Vacuum compatible rotation stages have to be configured if running with an ESP series controller. Cables All our RV rotation stages are delivered equipped with a 3-meter cable with 25-pin Sub-D connectors so they can be directly connected to our controllers/drivers of MM or ESP series.
Page 32
High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages For applications where the standard 3-meter cable (MMCABLE-3) included with your rotation stage is not adequate, Newport offers longer length cables designed to ensure the integrity of your positioning application. These cables are specially shielded and terminated with Newport’s standard 25-pin sub-D connectors.
“Encoder” and “Index Pulse” are “differential pair” 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. EDH0168En1030 – 02/03...
High-Performance Precision Rotation Stages Mounting WARNING Before operating the RV rotation stage, you must fix it in one of the following ways: • Directly on the rectified working surface. • To another stage, directly or indirectly using an assembly interface.
Vertical Rotation Stages (Horizontal Rotation Axis) The RV rotation stage is fixed on a vertical surface. The external flange has various holes provided for fastening. This type of stage is fixed using the same fastening methods as for the horizontal rotation stage (3 or 5 fastening points).
33.5 10.0 Accessories: EQ120 & EQ180 Brackets Newport's EQ120 and EQ180 brackets (to order separately) are ideal for mounting our ILS or IMS Series of linear stages and RV80 to RV160 rotation stages for stable and stiff muti-axis positioning systems.
It is recommended to return your rotation stage to our After Sales Service after every 2000 hours of use for lubrication. If your RV rotation stage is mounted on a workstation and cannot be easily dismantled, please contact our After Sales Service for further instructions.
