Caution of Manual X-Axis Stages

■Stage usage environment of X-Axis Stages
  Usage environment of X-Axis Stages: 10~50℃, 20~70%RH (non-condensing)
  Recommended usage environment of X-Axis Stages: 22±5℃, 20~70%RH (non-condensing)
■Guide mechanism
  Since a cross roller guide is used as the guide mechanism, inject lubricant in a timely manner according to the usage conditions to prevent the life of the cross roller guide from being reduced and deteriorated due tolubricant reduction.
■Clamping mechanism
  ①The clamping mechanism of the slide table is fixed by the frictional force generated by the fastening screw, so if the external force exceeds the frictional force of the clamping mechanism, the slide table will move.
  The user must take appropriate measures during use to prevent the table surface from moving.
  ②Holding force refers to the value of the force that prevents the slide table from moving in the clamped state. The maximum holding force varies depending on the tightening torque, so ensure sufficient safety factors when designing.
■A slide table with a micrometer knob mounted on the transport mechanism is generally called a standard type if it has a shape like the figure below. You can freely select by combining the installation space, installation posture, andoperation method.
   However, there are some models of X-Axis Stages where the installation position of the micrometer knob cannot be changed due to the product structure.
■There may be cases where the upper and lower tables are deformed due to differences in the flatness of the installation surface. Deformation of the table surface causes backlash, loosening due to failure to obtain the specified preload,and poor sliding due to excessive preload.
  Therefore, it is recommended to maintain the flatness of the installation surface at approximately 5 microns.

■Amount of travel
  The catalog drawing size is the state of travel 0mm, and taking this as reference, the distance moved in the left and right directions is the amount of travel.

■Load capacity
 is the force in N that the positioning stage can withstand when the center of gravity of the workpiece is in the center of the positioning stage. If used in excess of the load capacity, the positioning stage may not move properly or get stuck. Refer to the values of "Horizontal" and "Vertical" for the load resistance for horizontal and vertical installation respectively. Note that when the linear motion positioning stage is installed vertically or upside down, the accuracy may be less than the value indicated in the catalog.

■Straightness
  The maximum offset relative to the ideal axis of movement (the line connecting the start and end points is shown as the red line in the figure below. The black line is the actual trajectory of movement.) when the positioning stage moves at full stroke. Detection method: Place the micrometer on the positioning stage, with the pointer held against the reference block, let the positioning stage move at full stroke, and measure its maximum displacement, which is the straightness.

Mounting PostureHorizontalInvertedSide-Mounted HorizontalSide-Mounted Vertical
Load Resistance Characteristics
Horizontal, inverted, side-mounted horizontal or side-mounted vertical installation options are available. Other installation methods should be given more attention.
Load capacity and accuracy will change greatly depending on the mounting posture.
○:Same as horizontal load capacity.
△:About 1/3 of the horizontal load capacity is the approximate standard, if the catalog contains the vertical load capacity, it should be given priority.

■Vertical Use of X-Axis Positioning Stage
  When using the X-axis positioning stage vertically, pay attention to the feed direction, which should not be in the same direction as gravity.
  When using a micrometer knob type positioning stage, note that the positioning stage is reset by extension spring. If the force applied is greater than the spring load, the positioning stage surface may fall. For such occasions, alterations can be used as a solution.
Wrong Usage MethodCorrect Usage Method
(Usually) If the force applied exceeds the tensile load of the spring, the positioning stage surface may slip off because it cannot support the weight.After selecting the alteration of the micrometer knob position change, the positioning stage surface does not fall even when used vertically.
Example of wrongly using MISUMI X-axis positioning stage verticallyExample of correctly using MISUMI X-axis positioning stage vertically
Avoid applying loads that exceed the load carrying range in the vertical direction.

Precautions
■Operating temperature and environment
  Recommended operating environment: 10~50℃, 20~70%RH (no condensation)
  Accuracy assurance environment: 22±5℃, 20~70%RH (no condensation)

■Guiding mechanism
  This positioning stage adopts crossed roller guide as the guiding mechanism. Please refill the lubricant at the right time according to the usage conditions to prevent the life of crossed roller guide from being shortened due to the decrease of lubricant and aging.

■Clamping mechanism
  ①The clamping mechanism of the positioning stage is fixed by the frictional force generated by the fastening screw, so when the applied external force exceeds the frictional force of the clamping mechanism section, it will cause the positioning stage to move. The user should take appropriate measures to avoid movement of the positioning stage surface during use. If clamping reinforcement is required, disc clamping or opposite clamping can be selected.
  ②The holding force is the value of the force that keeps the positioning stage surface from moving in the clamped condition. Since the maximum holding force varies with the tightening torque, please ensure a sufficiently large safety factor when designing.

■Feed mechanism
  The shape of a positioning stage with a micrometer knob installed as shown in the figure below is generally called the standard type. Free selection is possible by combining the installation space, mounting posture, and operation method. However, due to the structure of the product, there are some models where the installation position of the micrometer knob cannot be changed. For details, refer to the [Alteration] at the bottom of each product page.

■Flatness of the mounting surface
The upper and lower positioning stage surface may be deformed due to the different flatness of its mounting surface. Deformation of the positioning stage surface may result in gaps, looseness due to failure to obtain the specified preload, or poor sliding due to excessive preload. Therefore, it is recommended that the flatness of the mounting surface be kept at about 5 microns.

Frequently asked question (FAQ)

Question: What does a micrometer knob-type positioning stage with a travel distance of ±XX mean?
Answer: The travel ±XXmm means how many millimeters can be moved in each direction, left and right or up and down, with the middle of the full travel of the micrometer knob as the base point.
Question: What is the reset method of the micrometer knob type manual positioning stage? What should be paid attention to in use?
Answer: The micrometer knob type manual positioning stage is reset by means of an extension spring. If the applied load is greater than the spring load, the positioning stage surface may not reset properly or the spring may be damaged directly, so take care when using it.
Question: Can the positioning stage be mounted vertically? What should be paid attention to?
Answer: Yes, it can. However, attention should be paid that the load capacity is about 1/3 of that for horizontal installation; and that the feed direction should not be the same as gravity direction, because if the applied force is greater than the spring load, the positioning stage surface may not be able to support the weight and may fall.
Question: Can manual positioning stage products be used upside down?
Answer: All except dovetail products. Dovetail products are strictly forbidden to be used upside down.
Question: Is it possible to freely assemble the XY type positioning stage without the dimension or travel I want?
Answer: Yes, it is.
