Zaber’s products are not intended for use in any critical medical, aviation, or military applications or situations where a product's use or failure could cause personal injury, death, or damage to property. Zaber disclaims any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. The user of this product agrees to Zaber's general terms and conditions of sale.
Precautions
Zaber’s rotary motion control devices are precision instruments and must be handled with care. In particular, moving parts must be treated with care. Avoid torque loads in excess of the rated maximum torque load, impact, dust and other contaminants and damage to the drive system. These will reduce the performance of the device below stated specifications.
Installation
You can mount the RS series rotary stage by the three M6 or 1/4"x20 mounting holes on the bottom flange of the stage. There are also two M6 threaded holes on the sides of the stage available for mounting purposes. See the RS web page for dimensions, technical specifications and other details.
Operation
The RS rotary stages are designed to be controlled with the T-MCA series chopper drive controllers. It is important to know the peripheral id of your RS stage. If you ever need to restore the correct settings for your stage, send restore settings (command 36) with the peripheral ID as the data.
