(M-)UTM Mid-Range Travel Steel Linear Stages
2.0 Description
The (M-)UTM Series translation stages feature steel construction with pre-
loaded ball bearing slides and a backlash-compensated leadscrew for supe-
rior performance over medium travel ranges.
These motorized stages are equipped with mechanical limit switches to
prevent damage to the bearings from accidental overtravel. A center home
position allows the stage to be returned to a reference position in the mid-
dle of the stage’s travel at any time.
The home position (Mechanical Zero) may also be set to either end of the
stage’s travel via an external switch on the stage body:
+:Origin, side opposite motor.
0:Origin at stage center.
-:Origin on motor side.
Position measuring is performed with a 2000 pts/rev. encoder, integral with
the motor shaft and a 2 mm pitch backlash compensated leadscrew.
All (M-)UTM Series stages are equipped with a knurled knob for a manual con-
trol.
The modular design of (M-)UTM stages brings you the flexibility to choose
the drive configuration that best matches your specific application require-
ments: high-resolution 0.1 µm version or higher speed 1 µm version, manu-
al, DC-motor or stepper motor driven versions, with mini-step or full-step
drive options.
For optimal performance, we recommend the use of our ESP or MM series
motion controllers.
The (M-)UTM Series stages are supplied with a 3-meter cable for connec-
tion to our motion controllers.

3.0 Characteristics
3.1 Definitions
Specifications of our products are established in reference to ISO 230 stan-
dard part II “Determination of the position, precision and repeatability of
the machine tools with CNC”.
This standard gives the definition of position uncertainty which depends
on the 3 following quantities:
(Absolute) Accuracy
Difference between ideal position and real position.
On-Axis Accuracy
Difference between ideal position and real position after the compensation
of linear error sources.
Linear errors include: cosine errors, inaccuracy of screw or linear scale
pitch, angular deviation at the measuring point (Abbe error) and thermal
expansion effect. All Newport motion electronics can compensate for linear
accuracy errors by step encoder correction.
The relation between absolute accuracy and on-axis accuracy is as follow:
Absolute Accuracy = On-Axis Accuracy + Slope x Travel
Repeatability
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 posi-
tion when approached from opposite directions.
Minimum Incremental Motion (Sensitivity)
Minimum motion that a stage can achieve. Our stages and our kinematic
chain are conceived in such a way that sensitivity is better than the resolu-
tion of the encoder.

EDH0156En1030 – 01/03 4
(M-)UTM Mid-Range Travel Steel Linear Stages
Resolution
The smallest motion an encoder fixed to the stage can measure.
Yaw, Pitch
Rotation of carriage around the Z axis (Yaw) or Y axis (Pitch), when it
moves.
The testing of on-axis accuracy, repeatability, and reversal error are made sys-
tematically with our test equipment in an air-conditioned room (20 °C ±1 °C).
Each stage is tested with a laser interferometer.
A linear cycle with 21 measures on the travel and 4 cycles in each direction
gives a total of 164 points.

3.3 Load Specification Definitions
Normal Load Capacity (Cz)
Maximum load a stage can move while maintaining specifications.
This value is given with speed and acceleration specified for each stage,
and with a load perpendicular to bearings.
Axial Load Capacity (±Cx)
Maximum load along the direction of the drive train.
Off-Centered Load (Q)
Maximum cantilever-load a stage can move: Q ≤Cz / (1 + D/50)

4.0 Drive
4.1 Stepper Drive Versions
Stepper-motor-driven stages are offered in four variants:
•Two mini-step drive versions with resolutions of 1 µm (PP1HL) and 0.1
µm (PP.1). These combine high speed positioning and smooth displace-
ment from 1/10-stepper encoder count driving mode. For ultrasmooth
low-speed positioning, microstepping up to 250x is possible using ESP
Series Controllers.
•Two full-step versions with resolutions of 1 µm (PE1) and 0.1 µm (PE.1).
These are primarily designed for applications requiring the position to
be maintained within the stage’s resolution when power is switched off,
such as operation in vacuum.
Mini-Step Drive
Is used for stepper motors, when 1 pulse emitted by electronic corre-
sponds to theoretical physical motion of a fraction of a full step of the
motor.
For these stages a mini-step equals 1/10 of a full step.
Full-Step Drive
Is used for stepper motors, when 1 pulse emitted by electronic corre-
sponds to theoretical physical motion of 1 full step of the motor.

(M-)UTM Mid-Range Travel Steel Linear Stages
For applications where the standard 3-meter cable (MMCABLE-3) included
with your stage is not adequate, Newport offers longer length cables
designed to ensure the integrity of your positioning application.
These cables are specially shielded and terminated with Newport’s stan-
dard 25-pin sub-D connectors. They are available in 5-m (MMCABLE-5), 7-m
(MMCABLE-7) or 10-m (MMCABLE-10) lengths.
WARNING
Keep the motor cables at a safe distance from other electrical cables in
your environment to avoid potential cross talk.
For cable lengths in excess of 3 meters, we recommend the MMCABLE-REG
to ensure a high quality, regulated 5 V supply to the stages.
This regulator is available as an option. Please note that for best efficiency,
this regulator should be attached to the stage to re-adjust the 5 volts com-
ing from the controller through the long cable.

WARNING
Newport takes no responsibility for improper functioning or damage of a
stage when it is used with any non- Newport controllers.
WARNING
Newport guarantees the “”compliance of the (M-)UTM translation
stages only if they are used with Newport cables and controllers.
Nevertheless, the figure below indicates the recommended wiring when
a (M-)UTM stage is used with non-Newport controllers.
*Open collector type with a 5.6 V protective Zener diode.
If the “Mechanical Zero” output is not used, a 1 kΩ/0.25 W resistor must
be connected between pins #13 and #21.
“Encoder” and “Index Pulse” are “differential pair” type output signals.
Using these signals permits a high immunity to noise. Emission circuits
generally used by Newport are 26LS31 or MC3487. Reception circuits to use
are 26LS32 or MC3486.
