Page 3: Introduction
1.5 µm. Along with the Thorlabs KBD101 controller and the Thorlabs software interface, it forms a truely plug and play system. The DDSM100 stage has been designed for easy XY configuration when used with the DDSMP1 XY adapter plate. Two KBD101 controllers are then required to control two stages simultaneously in the XY configuration. -

Chapter 4 Operation 4.1 General Caution The DDSM100 stage is designed to be driven by the Thorlabs KBD101 Brushless DC Motor K-Cube. For full compatibility, the controller should have Firmware version 1.0.1 or higher. The Firmware version is displayed on start up - see the associated controller manual for more information. -

- see the following pages for more information. 4.2 Using the Kinesis software 1) If it is not already running, start the Kinesis software - Start/Programs/Thorlabs/ Kinesis/Kinesis The software reads in the stage and controller information on boot up and the GUI panel shown below is displayed.. - Page 12 DDSM100 Direct Drive Translation Stage Note The MOTOR DRIVE connectors for each channel/axis contain an EEPROM, which stores the factory default settings for the set up parameters. When the stage is connected, these settings are loaded into the controller on start up, and are tuned for loads up to the 250 g (0.55 lb) maximum, at speeds up to 500 mm/s.

- Page 16 DDSM100 Direct Drive Translation Stage Table 4.2 DDSM100 Load vs Maximum acceleration recommendations Load (g) Approximate Max Acceleration (mm/s²) The values quoted above are the maximum values recommended to avoid over current errors. These values are a guideline only, and depending on the shape of the mass and the velocities used, these values may require further adjustment, particularly if the stages are mounted in an XY configuration.

Page 17: Position Error Messages
Chapter 4 Operation 4.4 Position Error Messages. Caution The maximum velocity at which the encoder can operate is approximately 3000 mm/sec. Above this speed, encoder pulses may be lost and, as a result, the position readout becomes incorrect. This renders normal operation impossible because phase commutation of the motor is also based on the encoder reading. -

DDSM100 Direct Drive Translation Stage Chapter 5 Maintenance and Accessories 5.1 Maintenance Repetetive movement over long periods can result in build up of lubricant which can cause uneven motion. Periodically, the stage should be powered down and the top platform moved from one end of travel to the other several times to redistribute the bearing lubricant. -
