Explanation
Electrically driven mechanics (e. g., M-687.UN)
Controller or amplifier that supplies the operating voltage for the
connected positioner
Electronics with sensor evaluation for closed-loop operation of
positioners (e. g., C-867 controller)
Electronics without sensor evaluation for open-loop operation of
positioners
Maximum load capacity in the vertical direction when the M-687.UN
is mounted horizontally. The contact point of the load is at the center
of the motion platform.
The linear encoder is an incremental sensor for detecting changes in
position. Signals from the sensor are used for axis position feedback.
After switching the controller on, referencing must be done before
absolute target positions can be commanded and reached.
