Product Description
LX80L Positioner
Although the LX80L is small in size and weight, it is large on performance and reliability. All key com-
ponents are integral to the unit - residing within the body of the stage to provide a clean looking, reli-
able, unobstructed package. At the heart of the LX80L is an innovative non-contact linear servo motor
(patent pending). This direct drive motor has been optimized for force, speed, and acceleration, to de-
liver outstanding performance and response. A high precision non-contact linear encoder provides
sub-micron resolution and repeatability. Selectable resolutions range from 0.1 to 5 microns. Travel limit
and home sensors are conveniently designed into the unit for easy adjustment over the entire travel of
the stage. Precision square rail bearings provide load support and precise linear translation, while ef-
fectively countering the problematic effects of heat, high speeds, and high acceleration. The cable
management system is contained within the table so there are no external moving cables. One or
three meters of hi-flex extension cables are options for connectorizing the table. This hi-flex cabling
addresses cable flexing concerns associated with the second or third axis in multi-axis system.
Unpacking
Unpacking
Carefully remove the positioner from the shipping container and inspect the unit for any evidence of
shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your local authorized distributor. Please save
the shipping container for damage inspection or future transportation.
Incorrect handling of the positioner may adversely affect the performance of the unit in its application.
Please observe the following guidelines for handling and mounting of your new positioner.
DO NOT allow the positioner to drop onto the mounting surface. Dropping the positioner can gener-
ate impact loads that may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive com-
ponents.
DO NOT drill holes into the positioner. Drilling holes into the positioner can generate particles and
machining forces that may effect the operation of the positioner. Parker will drill holes if neces-
sary; contact your local authorized distributor.
DO NOT subject the unit to impact loads such as hammering, riveting, etc. Impacts loads generated
by hammering or riveting may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive
components.
DO NOT lift the positioner by cables or cable management system. Lifting positioner by cables or
cable management system may effect electrical connections and/or cable management assem-
bly. The unit should be lifted by the base structure only.
DO NOT expose positioner to mist, spray or submersion in liquids.
DO NOT disassemble positioner. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the positioner’s specifications
and void the product warranty.

Return Information
Returns
All returns must reference a “Return Material Authorization” (RMA) number. Please call your local au-
thorized distributor or Parker Customer Service Department at 800-245-6903 to obtain a “RMA” number.
Repair Information
Out-of-Warranty Repair
Our Customer Service Department repairs Out-of-Warranty products. All returns must reference a
“RMA” number. Please call your local authorized distributor or Parker Customer Service Department at
800-245-6903 to obtain a “RMA” number. You will be notified of any cost prior to making the repair.
Warnings and Precautions
Hot Surfaces
DO NOT touch linear motor coils located in the carriage of the LX80L after high duty operation. Mo-
tor temperature may approach 60°C. The unit itself may become warm or hot to the touch.
Electrical Shock
DO NOT take apart or touch any internal components of the positioner while unit is plugged into an
electrical outlet. SHUT OFF power before replacing components to avoid electrical shock.
High Magnetic Field
Unit may be HAZARDOUS to people with Pace Makers or any other 'magnetically-sensitive' medical
devices. Unit may have an effect on 'magnetically-sensitive' applications.
Ferrous Materials
The positioner's open design WILL ATTRACT ferrous materials. The customer must take additional
precautions in these applications to keep positioner free of these highly magnetic particles.
Vertical Operation
The LX80L is NOT recommended for vertical operation. If the table is used in a vertical position, the
carriage and customer's load will fall in power loss situations potentially causing product or load
damage or personal injury.
General Safety
Because linear motors can accelerate up to 5 g's, and sometimes positioners move without warning,
keep all personnel away from dynamic travel range of positioner.

Specification Conditions
Specifications Are Temperature Dependent
Catalog specifications are obtained and measured at 20 Degrees C. Specifications at any other
temperature may deviate from catalog specifications. Minimum to maximum continuous operating
temperature range (with NO guarantee of any specification except motion) of a standard unit before
failure is 5 - 40 degrees C.
Specifications Are Mounting Surface Dependent
Catalog specifications are obtained and measured when the positioner is fully supported, bolted
down, and is mounted to a work surface that has a maximum flatness error of:
0.001mm/300mm (0.00004”/ft)
Table will operate with work surface of 0.100mm/300mm flatness or worse, but performance speci-
fications will be significantly effected.
Specifications Are Point of Measurement Dependent
Catalog specifications and specifications in this manual are measured from the center of the car-
riage, 38 mm above the carriage surface. All measurements taken at any other location may devi-
ate from these values.
Specifications Are Load Mounting Dependent
Catalog specifications are obtained and measured when the customer load is fixed to the carriage
mounting surface(s) and has a flatness of equal to or less than 0.0025mm (0.0001”). The table will
operate with customer load surface greater than 0.0025mm (0.0001”) flatness, but performance
specifications will be significantly effected.
