LX80L Positioner Although the LX80L is small in size and weight, it is large on performance and reliability. All key com- ponents are integral to the unit - residing within the body of the stage to provide a clean looking, reli- able, unobstructed package.
Warnings and Precautions Hot Surfaces DO NOT touch linear motor coils located in the carriage of the LX80L after high duty operation. Mo- tor temperature may approach 60°C. The unit itself may become warm or hot to the touch. Electrical Shock DO NOT take apart or touch any internal components of the positioner while unit is plugged into an electrical outlet.

LX80L Series Product Manual Dimensional Drawings - MX80L Compatibility The direct mount compatibility of the LX80L and compatibility with the MX80 family enables a large variety of two and three axis systems. Possible configurations include XY systems where LX80s serve as the base axis and either an LX80 or MX80 serve as the Y axis.
*For any direction, for moment loads larger than stated, the use of an Idler Rail Assembly is recommended, see page 29 LX80L Mass in kg (Does not include external extension cables) 8 POLE MOTOR 8 POLE MOTOR 16 POLE MOTOR...
6.32 -3.68 Published accuracy and repeatability specifications are subject to the testing methodology. Parker’s methodology provides specifications over the entire table travel regardless of start or finish position. The accuracy and repeatability specifications are based on the peak to peak error measured by a la- ser interferometer and prism located at 38mm above the center of the table.
Linear Bearing Life-Load All Travels The precision linear bearings used in the LX80L are sized to provide virtually unlimited life, 100,000,000 inches of travel guaranteed. The bearings provide stable and accurate linear motion while maintaining high rigidity even under combined of fluctuating loads. The double rail design offers the best load capacity, straightness, flatness, and stability.

LX80L Series Product Manual Mounting Orientations The LX80L can be mounted horizontal, inverted, or side. For all mounting orientations, the ca- bles should be secured as to not interfere with the movement of the carriage and bearings. For inverted, side, and vertical mounting, the main table cover must be used.
LX80L Series Product Manual Mounting Surface Requirements Proper mounting of the LX80L is essential to optimize product performance. All specifications are based on the following conditions: • The positioner must be bolted down using all mounting holes provided in the base. There are two different mounting surfaces for the LX80L, as seen below.
Load Mounting Requirements Dowel holes are included in the top of the carriage of the LX80L for repeatable mounting of loads/fixturing. Use appropriate length bolt. The LX80L compact design requires proper sized bolts to be used when mounting payloads to the car- riage.
LX80L Series Product Manual Idler Rail Assembly When using the LX80L in a gantry or “H” configu- ration, as shown, it is recommended that Y-Axis Parker’s Idler Rail Assembly is used. The Idler Rail Assembly has the same surface mounting requirements as the LX80L, see page #21 “Mounting Surface Requirements”.
Page 30
• Align the centerline of the Idler Rail Assembly with the centerline of the X- Axis LX80L, see page #10 for LX80L centerline dimension. • Offset the Idler Rail Assembly’s “Travel Centerline” from the X-Axis Travel Centerline.
Option Upgrades Limits and Homes can not be added to the LX80L table in the field due to the integrated design which encloses the sensor on a printed circuit board in the carriage. If the optical sensor limit and home are desired the unit must be returned to the factory on an RMA.
LX80L Series Product Manual See the following example for calculating maximum deceleration for an application with a payload = 0.25 kg on an LX80-T02, 8 - Pole motor, double rail table with a maximum speed of 500 mm/s. Total mass = 0.633 kg (Payload mass = 250 grams + Carriage mass (383 grams) = 633...

LX80L Series Product Manual Step 4: Gently remove the existing Limit trigger decal with a razor blade or with your finger nail. Dispose of this decal, Do Not Reuse Decals, adhesive may not adhere properly if reused resulting in decal falling off and stage crashing into end stops.
The Z-channel is a unidirectional device. This means that the final homing direction must occur in one direction. The LX80L is set that the final home direction is to be toward the positive end of the table. The repeatability of the Z-channel is equal to the repeatability of the table.
LX80L Series Product Manual Cabling The LX80L is provided with high flex cabling which is strain relieved at the connection point on the posi- tioner. • The Hall/Encoder cable is terminated with a high density 15 pin D-sub connector which is compatible with the ViX drive from Parker.
Page 36
LX80L Series Product Manual Step 3: Reverse the wires to come out the opposite direction. The cables must be in order from top to bottom based on the connector location on the circuit board, not all of the cables are the same diameter so they are to match the endblock cover/strain relief re- cesses.
Due to the continuous motion of the internal cable system, it may be necessary to replace at some point during the positioner’s life. The internal cable assembly should provide a long service life, Parker has tested the internal cable assembly in excess of 20 million cycles. Follow the instructions and images to replace the internal cable assembly.
Page 38
LX80L Series Product Manual Step 7: Remove the cable assembly from the carriage by removing one (1) flat head screw from the cable carrier link that is attached to the carriage. It is necessary to lift the four (4) connectors to gain access to the flat head screw.
LX80L Series Product Manual Y-Axis Cable System When using two LX80L positions in an X-Y configuration care must be taken with the cable management of the Y-axis extension cables. These cables will need to flex through the entire travel of the X-axis positioner.
Page 40
LX80L Series Product Manual Step 7: Connect the stationary end of the Y-Axis Cable System with two (2) socket head cap screws to the same mounting surface as the x-axis positioner. See drawing and instructions below for place- ment. Step 8: After the stationary end of the Y-Axis Cable System is se- cured to the mounting surface, move the x-axis positioner’s carriage...

• Linear Bearings The linear bearings used in the LX80L have a continuous acceleration limit of 2 g’s. This means that the bearings are designed to take repetitive accelerations of 2 g’s and maintain the rated bearing life. Additionally, the bearings can take a periodic acceleration of up to 5 g’s, however continued accelerations of these magnitudes will reduce bearing life.
Acceleration of linear servo driven tables is typically limited by three (3) factors: • Linear Bearings The linear bearings used in the LX80L are limited to a maximum speed of 3 meters/second. • Linear Encoder Limit The linear encoder has speed limits relative to encoder resolution; these limits are listed below:...
Thermal Effects on Accuracy The LX80L uses a magnet linear servo motor. The magnet rails and the encoder tape are mounted to the base. The motor coils are mounted in the carriage and unless the payload is insulated, the heat generated in the coils should radiate out the payload maintaining a low thermal delta between base and carriage.
LX80L base). Motor heating from LX80L Since the LX80L uses a servo motor as its drive, it produces no heat unless there is motion, or a force being generated. In low duty cycle applications heat generation is low, however as duty cycles increase, temperature of the LX80L will increase, causing thermal expansion of the car- riage.

LX80L Series Product Manual Appendix A - Internal Protection Parker has conducted testing to determine the degree to which the positioner is protected by using a British standard called an Ingress Protection Rating (IP Rating). The LX80L has an IP 10 protec- tion rating.
