Overview Chapter 1: Overview N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. All drawings and illustrations are for reference only and were complete and accurate as of this manual’s release. Refer to www.aerotech.com for the most up-to-date information.
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects The accuracy specification of MPS75SL/SLE series stages is measured 25 mm above the table with the stage in an unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or exceeding the specification in Section 2.3.
Anodized Aluminum Body 1. Specifications are for single-axis systems measured 25 mm above the tabletop; performance of multi-axis system is payload and workpoint dependent. Consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications. 2. Excessive duty cycle may impact stage accuracy.
Anodized Aluminum Body 1. Specifications are for single-axis systems measured 25 mm above the tabletop; performance of multi-axis system is payload and workpoint dependent. Consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications. 2. With Aerotech controllers. 3. Resolution and repeatability specifications are for systems running in dual-loop mode with feedback resolutions of 25 nm on both the rotary and linear encoders.
Stages are packaged in a special polyethylene bag. Vacuum Guidelines To ensure that the MPS75SL/SLE will continue to perform well in the vacuum environment, follow the guidelines listed below (in addition to standard handling, installation, and lubrication guidelines outlined in this manual).

W A R N I N G : Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the MPS75SL/SLE. Use care when moving the MPS75SL/SLE. W A R N I N G : An unsecured MPS75SL/SLE could be dragged off of a mounting surface by its unsupported cable.
MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual 2.2. Dimensions N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. Refer to the most recent edition of the Aerotech Motion Control Product Guide for the most current product information at www.aerotech.com.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment. W A R N I N G : An unsecured MPS75SL/SLE could be dragged off of a mounting surface by its unsupported cable.
Mechanical Specifications and Installation MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual 2.3.1. For XY Assemblies and Special Cases To access the inner mounting holes, the stage table must be moved. The following is the procedure for moving the table and mounting the stage (see Figure 2-9).
N O T E : If your MPS75SL/SLE was purchased with Aerotech controls, it might have been tuned with a representative payload based on the information provided at the time of order. If the MPS75SL/SLE is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
Mechanical Specifications and Installation MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual Figure 2-11: Stage Orientations The approximate amount of torque required to turn the ball screw of an MPS75SL/SLE series stage can be found from Figure 2-12 or the following equation: Where: Lead of Screw = see Table 1-3 Efficiency = .90 for ball screws...
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the equipment. W A R N I N G : The DC Power supplies for controllers must be double insulated. All Aerotech- provided power supplies are double insulated.
The MPS75SL/SLE comes from the factory completely wired and assembled. Each MPS75SL/SLE is shipped with documentation regarding the wiring, controller interface connectors, and specifications. N O T E : Refer to the other documentation accompanying your Aerotech equipment. Call your Aerotech representative if there are any questions on system configuration.
MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual Electrical Specifications and Installation N O T E : When used with the Lab controller, the 2nd encoder channel will require a second axis and an adapter cable. Table 3-1: 25-Pin D Motor and Feedback Connector Pinouts (-M1 / Motor only for SLE)

Electrical Specifications and Installation 3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction Aerotech stages are configured to have positive and negative "machine" directions. The machine direction defines the phasing of the feedback and motor signals and is dictated by the stage wiring (refer to Section 3.5.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the equipment. 4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule Lubricant inspection and replenishment in MPS75SL/SLE series stages depends on conditions such as duty cycle, speed, and the environment. An inspection interval of once per month is recommended until a trend develops for the application.
Cleaning Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the MPS75SL/SLE, blow away small particles and dust with nitrogen or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air. Any external metal surface of the MPS75SL/SLE can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.

MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual Maintenance Lubrication Take the opportunity during the lubrication procedure to inspect the precision rail guides for any damage or signs of wear. For standard applications, use NSK LG2 grease on the precision rail guides and ball screw. For vacuum applications, refer to the vacuum guidelines in Section 1.4.
Maintenance MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual 4.2.1. Bellows Removal for Re-Lubrication For stages with the -BL option, the bellows will need to be removed to gain access to the ball screw and precision rail guides. N O T E : Removing the upper axis on an XY, XZ, or YZ system will alter a precision alignment. Only remove the bellows on each axis and follow for re-lubrication.
MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual Maintenance 4.3. Bellows Installation D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment. 1. Remove power from the stage.
Maintenance MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual 4. Use (4) M2 socket head cap screws to secure the opposite ends of the bellow support rods. Figure 4-5: Secure the Bellows Support Rods 5. Attach the bellows to the ends of the stage and to the carriage using (8) M2 socket head cap screws.
MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual Maintenance 7. Attach the bellows tabletop to the carriage using (4) M3 socket head cap screws. Figure 4-8: Attach the Bellows Tabletop 8. Re-install the motor cover (refer to Figure 4-3) ensuring that no wires are pinched or in the way. Do not over-tighten the screws that secure the motor cover because the cover is made of thin material and could become damaged.
Maintenance MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual 4.4. Troubleshooting Table 4-1: Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause and Solution Brake not released (if equipped with brake; refer to stage documentation). In Limit condition. Check limits (refer to Chapter 3) and refer to the Controller Stage will not move documentation for polarity and compatibility requirements (Example: voltage requirements).
