Vacuum Compatible Precision Rotation Stages URS-BPPV6 Series

Introduction

• This manual provides operating instructions for the URS-BPPV6 series rotation stages:

RECOMMENDATION
We recommend you read carefully the chapter “Connection to electronics” before using the URS-BPPV6 rotation stage.

Description

The URS-BPPV6 rotation stages features an enhanced, lower profile package providing easier top-down mounting that is directly compatible with our vacuum-compatible stages. When using with our XPS or ESP301 motion controllers with high microstep capability, low noise operation and very small incremental motions are guaranteed. The URS-BPPV6 rotation stage does not use encoder feedback, but calculates the position by the number of commanded steps and micro-steps. For this purpose, the stepper motor is directly attached to the worm screw with a proprietary bellow coupling with high torsional stiffness and no gear or belt drive in between. Furthermore, the high output torque of the stepper motor minimizes the risk of lost steps and provides optimum motion sensitivity with good linearity between the commanded micro-step and the actual motion of the stage. The URS-BPPV6 rotation stages feature a proprietary 4-contact point ball bearing. The unique, 2-piece design of the URS-BPPV6 provides a low-profile compact stage with exceptional stiffness, high reliability and outstanding wobble and eccentricity. The tilted worm screw arrangement allows for 4 symmetric mounting holes as compared to other designs that only feature 2 or 3 mounting holes. As a result, the URS-BPPV6 stages provide a higher stiffness for better support of higher or off-centred loads. Additionally, the flexible preloading system for the worm gear has been improved to guarantee a backlash-free operation with an MTBF of 20,000 hours.

Design Details

Characteristics

Definitions
Specifications of our products are established about ISO 230 standard part II “Determination of accuracy and repeatability of positioning numerically controlled axes”. This standard defines position uncertainty which depends on the 3 following parameters:

Absolute Accuracy
Difference between ideal position and real position.
Accuracy
Difference between ideal position and real position after the compensation of linear errors.
Linear errors include cosine errors, inaccuracy of screw or linear scale pitch, angular deviation at the measuring point (Abbe error) and thermal expansion effects. All Newport motion electronics can compensate for linear errors.
The relation between absolute accuracy and on-axis accuracy is as follows: Absolute Accuracy = Accuracy + Correction Factor x Travel

Repeatability
The ability of a system to achieve a commanded position over many attempts.
Reversal Value (Hysteresis)
Difference between actual position values obtained for a given target position when approached from opposite directions.
Minimum Incremental Motion (MIM or Sensitivity)
The smallest increment of motion a device is capable of delivering consistently and reliably.
Resolution
The smallest increment that a motion device can theoretically move and/or detect. Resolution is not achievable, whereas MIM, is the real output of a motion system.
Eccentricity
Displacement of the geometric centre of a rotation stage from the rotation axis in the plane defined by bearings.
Wobble
A tilt of the rotation axis during rotation of a stage, measured on a reference surface.

The testing of accuracy, repeatability, and reversal error is made systematically with test equipment in a controlled environment (20 ±1 °C). A linear cycle with 21 data points on the travel and 4 cycles in each direction gives a total of 168 points.

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 catalogue or at www.newport.com.

Mechanical Specifications

Drives and Motors

Stepper Drive Versions
The URS-BPPV6 stages are driven by a 2-phase stepper motor.
Stepper Motor Performance Specifications and Characteristics

When used with Newport motion controllers, these motors are driven in a dynamic micro-stepping mode (software commutation).

Command Signals for the Stepper Motors

Sensor Position
URS50BPPV6 Sensor

CAUTION
“End-of-Run” and “Mechanical Zero” are active signals and should not be connected to any other source.

Feedback Signal Position for URS50BPPV6 Stage

• 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 #6, #7, #13 and #14 of the SUB-D15 connector.

“Encoder” are “differential pair” (type RS-422) type output signals. Using these signals permits a high immunity to noise. Emission circuits generally used by Newport are 26LS31 or MC3487. The reception circuits to use are 26LS32 or MC3486.

Pinouts
The pinout diagrams for the URS-BPPV6 stages SUB-D15M connectors are shown below.

MSCABLE-3 Cable
A 3-meter MSCABLE-3 cable is supplied with each URS-BPPV6 stage (see section 5.3: ”Cables”).

WARNING
The MSCABLE-3 cable supplied with the URS-BPPV6 stages is not vacuum- compatible or intended for use in a vacuum. It is the customer’s responsibility to make a cable for connecting the URS-BPPV6 stage to the controller via a vacuum feed trough.
WARNING
Always turn the controller’s power OFF before connecting to a stage.
