4.3 Overview

1. Drive
2. Motion platform
3. Base body
4.3.1 Base Body
The base body is the basis of the positioner. The L-505.011200 is mounted onto a surface via
the base body (p. 13).
The base body comprises the following subassembly or subassemblies:
Drive screw
The drive screw converts the rotary motion of the drive to linear motion of the motion
platform.
Limit switches
The limit switches are sensors at each end of the travel range that enable the electronics to
abort motion in order to prevent the motion platform from colliding with the mechanical
hard stop.
4.4 Suitable Electronics
The L-505.011200 must be connected to suitable electronics that supply the necessary voltage
for operating and if required, to evaluate the sensor and limit switch signals. The following
electronics are suitable:
Product number Description
C-663.12 Mercury Step stepper motor controller
SMC Hydra Motion Controller
SMC Pollux Motion Controller
