Servo Motor Mounting Instructions

WARNING: DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND/OR THE OPTICAL ENCODER MAY BE SUSTAINED IF

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE NOT ADHERED TO. MAKE SURE TO HAVE

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL PERFORM THESE TASKS.

... for a visual reference to these instructions, see Assembling the Servo Motor (pg. 5) and Proper Fit ... (pg 6).

1. ALIGN AND SECURE THE MOTOR MOUNTING PLATE TO

THE SLIDE (OR GANTRY)

Position the motor assembly mounting plate on the gantry, or

slide, making sure of a few key considerations. One, matching up the screw holes, Two, make sure that the counterbores are facing out, Three, that the end-of-travel wiring connector hole (a large hole on the mounting plate) is lined up with the end-oftravel wiring connector, and Four, that the end-of-travel probe hole is lined up with the probe’s travel (see picture at right).

Attach the mounting plate using the four (4) mounting bolts.

probe end-of-travel connector

NOTE: IF UPRGRADING FROM A STEPPER SYSTEM, YOU MAY HAVE TO INSTALL A

NEW END-OF-TRAVEL PROBE. SEE PAGE 8 NOW, FOR MORE INFORMATION.

2. SET THE COUPLING (NOT INLCUDED)

Seat half of the coupling on the motor’s shaft so that the end of the motor shaft is flush with the end of the coupling surface (as shown in the picture at right). This positioning may have to be

adjusted once the motor is mounted, but that comes later.

Fasten the screw on the coupling by tightening with a 3 mm hex key. Next, place the plastic spider and the other half of the coupling on top. Make sure to keep at least a 2 mm space between the two halves of the coupling (see picture on pg. 6).

Do not tighten the top half of the coupling, just yet. After mounting the coupling onto the ball screw, the final adjustments will be made through the hole in the shaft coupling housing

(see picture at right).

3. REMOVE JUMPER; TEST END-OF-TRAVEL SWITCH

Remove the jumper attached to the motor’s end-of-travel wiring connector, located within the shaft coupling housing

(see picture at right). Gently but firmly pinch the black jumper and evenly pull it off the end-of-travel connector. Before mounting the Servo motor, you need to make sure you have the correct orientation for the end-of-travel switch connection(s).

NOTE: POWER DOWN! TO PERFORM THIS TEST,

POWER TO CONTROLLER IS NOT NEEDED.

LP Elec. Quick-Start Guide

The end-of-travel connection requires a ‘continuous circuit’.

Connect the female end-of-travel connector to the motor’s male three-pronged connector (see picture at right). Simply slide the black (female) connector over the three prongs of the motor’s

(male) connector.

TEST THE CONNECTION - You will need a Volt-Ohm-Meter to

perform this test. Once the end-of-travel connection is made, place the Volt-Ohm-Meter’s two prongs on the motor encoder’s pins # 6 and # 14 (see picture at right). If the meter shows a continuous circuit, then the correct connection is made. If the meter does not show a continuous circuit, pull off the male connector, flip it over, and reconnect it with the opposite orientation. Perform the Volt-Ohm-Meter test again. Do this test for all end-of-travel switches and connections until the Volt-Ohm-

Meter reads a continuous, closed circuit. When the test is finished, keep that connection and jot down the correct orientation.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POSITION OF THE MOTOR'S ENCODER AND MOTOR CABLE

CONNECTIONS ARE FACING TO THE SIDE (OR TO WHICHEVER POSITION IS

MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TO YOUR APPLICATIONS TRAVEL AND CABLE

CONNECTIONS).

4. MOUNT THE MOTOR

If you haven't done so already, place the shaft coupling housing on the motor using the four motor mount screws. Also, make sure the end-of-travel wire is threaded through the slot hole in the housing (see picture at right).

Line up the center bore of the coupling to the ball screw, while making sure the end-of-travel connector slides into the designated hole on the mounting plate. Secure the motor assembly to the motor mounting plate using the four motor mount screws (see picture at right).

5. ADJUST THE COUPLING

Remove the black plug covering the hole in the shaft coupling housing (if it is present). Evenly space the coupling so that you don’t have an excessive length on either of the motor shaft or ball screw sticking out through each half of the coupling. Ideally, both the motor shaft and the ball screw would both be flush against the end of each coupling chamber; just make sure that each coupling is seated on it’s shaft as far and as evenly as possible. Using the 3 mm hex key, tighten the coupling set screw located closest to the gantry. But, make sure to keep a 2

mm space between the two halves of the coupling. Also, make sure the plastic spider is in between the two halves of the coupling.

Assembling The Servo Motor

WARNING: The motor plate, coupling,

and motor assembly mounting plate must fit together tightly WITHOUT any undue force. If this is not the case, DO

NOT insert the motor mount screws. You may have to reposition the coupling in order to get a proper fit.

Upgrading from Stepper to Servo ...

...these instructions may apply if your slide has an external Limit Switch, like those in the Shaft Coupling Housing, shown below

Type 1

Limit Switch

Type 2

Limit Switch

Step 1: Check Stepper Limit Switch

The Limit Switch is located inside the Shaft Coupling Housing

(see Assembling the Servo Motor - Page 4, and pictures at right). If the Limit Switch on the Stepper Motor you’re replacing is the Type 1 switch, then you will need to replace the probe inside your slide or gantry (follow instructions below). If the Limit

Switch on the Stepper Motor you’re replacing is the Type 2 switch, then you do not need to replace the probe.

Tell the Difference: The Type 1 Limit Switch has a beige triangular device at the end of the lever. This is where the probe contacts and activates the limit switch. The Type 2

Limit Switch does not have the beige triangular device at the end of the lever, it just has the lever. However, the lever on the New Type does not run parallel to the probe’s travel path, instead it angles back.

Notice the subtle difference in the two switches (look inside the circled areas). Both perform the same function, but have slightly different designs for doing so.

Step 2: Order the Replacement Probe: Call Techno at 1-800-819-3366 to order the Replacement Probe. Part

Number: HL5600MPROBE78. .

Step 3: Replace the Probe: Follow the pictorial directions below (Standard Duty Slide used in this example).

Unscrew and remove the carriage plate.

Remove the two screws at the end of the slide.

Pull out the middle cover piece on top of the slide.

NOTE: Probe Length.

Locate the Probe.

Unscrew the bolt, remove old Probe, replace with new one.

Reassemble the Slide.

The length a probe extends outside the slide should not exceed 45 mm.
