[edit] Overview
The LML series is a crossed roller bearing linear stage designed to interface with Zaber's T-CD1000 stepper motor controllers. It is available in 3 models, LML15, LML25, and LML50 with travels of 15mm, 25mm and 50mm respectively.

[edit] Operation with T-CD1000 controller
If used with Zaber's T-CD1000 controller, little additional information is required. Program the T-CD1000 controller with the appropriate peripheral ID (see http://www.zaber.com/wiki/Manuals/T-CD#Peripheral_Ids) and plug in your LML stage. The default settings should provide a working system but you may wish to fine tune the running current, hold current, speed, etc as needed to improve performance in your particular application. See the T-CD user's manual for information on how to do that.
[edit] Operation with other controllers
This device can also be used with non-Zaber controllers but some further information is required.
- Connector Pin Diagram
- A pin diagram for the connector can be found here: http://www.zaber.com/wiki/Manuals/T-CD#Installation. This shows the mating connector on our T-CD series controller so looking at the end of the LML connector you should see the mirror image.
- Motor
- The motor is a Vexta bipolar stepper motor part number PK223PB wired in bipolar mode. See http://catalog.orientalmotor.com/item/all-categories/pk-series-stepping-motors/pk223pb for complete specifications.
- Home limit sensor
- The internal home sensor is an optical interrupt switch. The default output signal (non-active) is low (less than 2V). When active the output is in a high impedance state (open collector). Therefore if you wish the generate a TTL signal, you should add a pull-up resistor to 5V. Our T-CD controller uses a 10k pull-up resistor to 5V and also a 1uF capacitor to ground. The capacitor helps eliminate false home triggering in noisy environments.
[edit] Warranty and Repair
All Zaber products are backed by a one-month satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, send it back to Zaber Technologies Inc. within one month of the purchase date for a refund. A restocking fee of the greater of $100 or 5% will be applied to cover administration and customs fees charged to us. Goods must be in brand new condition with no marks. T-series devices are also guaranteed for one year or 50,000 cycles, whichever comes first. During this period Zaber will repair or replace faulty units free of charge. Customers with devices in need of repair should contact Zaber to obtain an RMA form which must be filled out and returned to receive an RMA number. The RMA form also contains instructions for packing and returning the device.
