BG Series Goniometric Cradles Warranty Newport Corporation warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of shipment. If found to be defective during the warranty period, the product will either be repaired or replaced at Newport’s discretion.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Definitions and Symbols The following terms and symbols are used in this documentation and also appear on the product where safety-related issues occur. General Warning or Caution The exclamation symbol may appear in warning and caution tables in this document.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Warnings WARNING The motion of objects of all types carries potential risks for operators. Ensure the protection of operators by prohibiting access to the dangerous area and by informing the personnel of the potential risks involved. WARNING Do not use this stage when its motor is emitting smoke or is unusually hot to the touch or is emitting any unusual odor or noise or is in any...
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Caution CAUTION Do not place this stage in a hostile environment such as X-Rays, hard UV,… or in any vacuum environment. Only the BGM-PEBV6 stages are compatible and can be used in a vacuum environment up to 10 hPa.

BG Series Goniometric Cradles Goniometric Cradles BG Series —Introduction This manual provides operating instructions for the BG series goniometric cradles: • (M-)BGM-BPP • (M-)BGM-CC • BGS-PP • BGS-CC • (M-)BGM-BPE • (M-)BGM-PEBV6 (M-) indicates that imperial and metric interface versions are available (e.g.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —Description BG Series goniometric cradles rotate on a transverse axis above the platform. Compared to full 360° rotation stages, they offer maximum access to the rotating part and allow construction of very compact multi- axis rotation assemblies. BG cradles are designed so that orthogonal mounting of two adjacent-sized cradles (e.g., BGS50 and BGS80) provides two perpendicular axes of rotation at about the same point in space.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —Characteristics Definitions Specifications of our products are established in reference to ISO 230 standard part II “Determination of accuracy and repeatability of positioning numerically controlled axes”. This standard gives the definition of position uncertainty which depends on the 3 following parameters: Absolute Accuracy Difference between ideal position and real position.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Guaranteed and Typical Specifications Guaranteed maximum performance values are verified per Newport's A167 metrology test procedure. For more information, please consult the metrology tutorial section in the Newport catalog or at www.newport.com Mechanical Specifications BGS50CC BGS50PP BGS80CC BGS80PP BGM120, BGM160,...
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Goniometric Cradle Weights Weights indicated into the below table are average values for goniometric cradles with a typical drive unit installed, without any cable. Weight [lb (kg)] BGS50 1.76 (0.8) BGS80 4.63 (2.1) 3-meter MSCABLE-3 Cable for BGS80 models 0.66 (0.3) (M-)BGM120 18.7 (8.5)
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Mini-Step Drive Is used for stepper motors, when 1 pulse emitted by electronic corresponds to theoretical physical motion of a fraction of a full step of the motor. For these goniometric cradles a mini-step equals 1/10 of a full step. Full-Step Drive Is used for stepper motors, when 1 pulse emitted by electronic corresponds to theoretical physical motion of 1 full step of the motor.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Feedback Signal Position Encoder Phase A Encoder Phase A Encoder Phase B Encoder Phase B Direction – MOTION Direction + Direction + Direction + The incremental sensor consists of an optical scale and an encoder head. When the carriage moves, the encoder head generates square signals in quadrature and sends to pins #19, #20, #23 and #24 of the SUB-D25 connector or pins #6, #7, #13 and #14 of the SUB-D15 connector.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —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.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles Connection There is a label on every stage indicating its part and serial numbers. WARNING Always turn the controller's power OFF before connecting to a stage. NOTE These stages are ESP compatible. Enhanced System Performance is Newport's exclusive technology that enables Newport ESP motion controllers to recognize the connected Newport ESP stage and upload the stage parameters.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles REMARK The cross section of the MSCAB-10 cable is different from the one of the MSCABLE-3 cable to allow a longer length. The MSCAB-10 cable has the same mechanical properties as the MCAB-10 cable. These cables are specially shielded and terminated with Newport’s standard SUB-D15 and SUB-D25 connectors.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —Connection to Non-Newport Electronics Connections WARNING Newport is not responsible for malfunction or damage of BG goniometric cradles when used with non-Newport controllers. WARNING “ ” Newport guarantees compliance of BG goniometric cradles only if used with Newport cables and controllers. It is the customer's responsibility to modify the cable and take care of sensor signal connections, when using the stage with non-Newport controllers.
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —BGM Goniometric Cradles Assembly Pattern Stacking BG goniometric cradles either together or with other Newport stage is easily accomplished. Below are example schematics of the assembly patterns used. For BGM stages, these interfaces are accessed by unscrewing and removing the upper and/or lower plates of the stages (see dimension drawings).
BG Series Goniometric Cradles —Maintenance RECOMMENDATION Please contact Technical Sales Support team for recommendations on application specific maintenance. Maintenance The BG goniometric cradle requires no particular maintenance. Nevertheless, this is a precision mechanical device that must be kept and operated with caution. PRECAUTIONS The BG goniometric cradle must be used or stocked in a clean environment, without dust, humidity, solvents or other substances.
