1.1 Objective and Target Group of this User Manual
This user manual contains the information required for the intended use of the L-509.
Basic knowledge of closed-loop systems, motion control concepts, and applicable safety
measures is assumed.
The latest versions of the user manuals are available for download on our website (page 3).

1.3 Definition of Terms
Term Explanation
Load capacity Maximum load capacity in the vertical direction when the stage is
mounted horizontally. The contact point of the load is in the center of
the platform.
Max. push/pull force Maximum force in the direction of motion. Some stages may have
higher forces but with limited lifetimes. In the case of vertical
mounting, the specified value (see 45) for models without a gearhead
and brake only applies when the servo mode is on.
Linear encoder The linear encoder is an incremental sensor for capturing changes in
position. Signals from the sensor are used for axis position feedback.
After the controller is switched on, a reference point definition must
be performed before absolute target positions can be commanded
and reached.
1.4 Pictures
For better understandability, the colors, proportions and degree of detail in illustrations can
deviate from the actual circumstances. Photographic illustrations may also differ and must not
be seen as guaranteed properties.
