IMS-V Series
1.0 —Introduction
This manual provides operating instructions for the stage that you have
purchased in the IMS-V Series:
IMS-V Series li ear stages: 100 a d 300 mm travel ra ges.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend you read carefully the chapter “Connection to
electronics” before using the (M-)IMS-V stage.

EDH0211En1051 — 12/18 2
IMS-V Series High-Performance Linear S ages for Ver ical Use
2.0 —Description
The IMS-V Series linear stage complements the (M-)IMS Series by providing
linear travel ranging of 100 and 300 mm. The stages feature robust designs
with high performance but without high cost, making them cost-effective
solutions for precision industrial and laboratory applications.
Using the same industry-proofed technology as the (M-)ILS Series, the
IMS-V Series features a FEM optimized, aluminum extruded body that is
highly stiff, while minimizing the bending effect caused by different
thermal expansion coefficients of the aluminum body and the steel rails.
Smooth running recirculating ball bearing slides with ball separators
provide accurate linear motion and avoid ball cage migration found on
linear ball bearings or crossed roller bearings.
A highly-stiff, backlash-free, 3 mm pitch friction lead screw ensures
vertical movement with capability to handle high payload.
For more demanding precision positioning requirements, the IMS-V Series
is equipped with a highly interpolated linear scale providing 0.1 µm
resolution feedback.
The completely closed design of the IMS-V Series with an upper rigid
cover, underlining its robustness and long lasting values. IMS-V stages also
feature a motor side mounted origin for repeatable initialization, limit
switches to prevent over travel, and elastomeric end-of-run dampers for
smooth emergency braking.
For optimal performance, we recommend the use of our motion
controllers to choose in accordance with the payload.
The IMS-V stages are supplied with a 5-meter cable for connection to our
motion controllers.

3.0 —Characteristics
3.1 Definitions
Specificatio s of our products are established i refere ce to ISO 230
sta dard part II “Determi atio of accuracy a d repeatability of
positio i g umerically co trolled axes”.
This sta dard gives the defi itio of positio u certai ty which depe ds
o the 3 followi g parameters:
Absolute Accuracy
Differe ce betwee ideal positio a d real positio .
Accuracy
Differe ce betwee ideal positio a d real positio after the compe satio
of li ear errors.
Li ear errors i clude: cosi e errors, i accuracy of screw or li ear scale
pitch, a gular deviatio at the measuri g poi t (Abbe error) a d thermal
expa sio effects. All Newport motio electro ics ca compe sate for
li ear errors.
The relatio betwee absolute accuracy a d o -axis accuracy is as follows:
Absolute Accuracy = Accuracy + Correction Factor xTravel
Repeatability
Ability of a system to achieve a comma ded positio over ma y attempts.
Reversal Value (Hysteresis)
Differe ce betwee actual positio values obtai ed for a give target
positio whe approached from opposite directio s.
Minimum Incremental Motion (MIM or Sensitivity)
The smallest i creme t of motio a device is capable of deliveri g
co siste tly a d reliably.
Resolution
The smallest i creme t that a motio device ca theoretically move
a d/or detect. Resolutio is ot achievable, whereas MIM, is the real
output of a motio system.
Yaw, Pitch
Rotation of carriage around the Z axis (Yaw) or Y axis (Pitch), when it
moves.
The testing of accuracy, repeatability, and reversal error are made
systematically with test e uipment in 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 catalog or at www.newport.com

3.4 Load Characteristics and Stiffness
WARNING
Because of the use of a friction lead screw and the stick-slip
effect, the sensitivity of (M-)IMS-V stages at full load
depends a lot on the controller/driver features and tuning.
Back and forth motions of a few counts after settling are
normal. The self locking of the lead screw allow to turn off
the servo loop to stop these oscillations, without getting
unwanted motion.
WARNING
To reach the specifications stated for a (M-)IMS-V stage, the
mounting bracket or the fastening support of the stage must
have a minimum stiffness at the level of the load in top
position, as indicated below:
Max. Min.
load stiffness

4.3 Feedback Signal osition
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 #19, #20, #23 and #24 of the SUB-D25
connector.
“Encoder” and “Index ulse” 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.
Reception circuits to use are 26LS32 or MC3486.
