4. Purge air connector
4.4.1 Base Body
The base body is the basis of the positioner. The V-417.xx6211E0 is mounted onto a surface
via the base body (p. 13).
The base body comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Drive
The drive of the positioner is a 3-phase magnetic linear motor. The linear motor transfers the
drive force to the motion platform directly and free of friction.
Reference Point Switch
The reference point switch is a sensor whose fixed position serves as the reference point for
incremental sensor signals.
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.
Incremental linear encoder
An incremental linear encoder is a sensor that measures the position of the motion platform
incremental to a known reference point. Optical linear encoders measure the actual position
directly. Therefore, errors in the drive, such as nonlinearity, backlash or elastic deformations
cannot influence the measurement of the position.
4.4.2 Drive
The drive generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
The drive comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Motor
The motor generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.

4.4.3 Linear Encoder Connector
The linear encoder connector transmits the V-417.xx6211E0's sensor signals.
4.4.4 Purge Air System
The purge air system protects the drive and guides of the V-417.xx6211E0 against
surrounding dust.
The purge air system comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Passive dust protection
The passive dust protection consists of covering strips that seal the openings on the side of
the V-417.xx6211E0's base body and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.
Active dust protection
The active dust protection consists of a purge air connector on the base body of the
V-417.xx6211E0, which creates a slight overpressure in the V-417.xx6211E0 and therefore
reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.
4.5 Suitable Electronics
The V-417.xx6211E0 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:

►Pay attention to the maximum permissible forces (p. 25) that may act on the motion
platform.
►In the case of multi-axis systems, include the masses of the positioners to be moved
when calculating the load.
NOTICE
Excessively long screws and locating pins
Screws and locating pins that are inserted too deeply can damage the V-417.xx6211E0.
►Pay attention to the depth of the mounting and locating holes (p. 29).
►Only use screws and locating pins of the correct length for the respective mounting holes.
Fixing the Load
1. If necessary: Insert the locating pins into the corresponding holes in the motion platform.
2. Align the load on the motion platform so that the mounting holes selected in the motion
platform can be used for mounting the load.
3. Place the load onto the motion platform so that the locating pins are inserted into the
corresponding locating holes in the load.
4. Tighten the screws in all mounting holes.
5. Check that the load is fixed firmly to the motion platform.

DANGER
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If the protective earth conductor is missing or not properly connected, risk of dangerous
touch voltages on the V-417.xx6211E0 in the event of malfunction or failure of the system. If
there are touch voltages, touching the V-417.xx6211E0 leads to serious injuries or death by
electric shock.
►Connect the V-417.xx6211E0 to a protective earth conductor before startup.
►Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
►If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e.g., for modifications),
reconnect the V-417.xx6211E0 to the protective earth conductor before restarting.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing by moving parts!
Risk of minor injuries from crushing between the moving parts of the V-417.xx6211E0 or the
load and a fixed part or obstacle.
►Use safeguards to protect limbs in areas where they could be caught by moving parts.
►Maintain the safety distances according to DIN EN ISO 13857 when installing protective
structures.
CAUTION
Risk of being caught by moving parts!
Risk of minor injury if hair, jewelry or clothing get caught by moving parts.
►Fit safeguards around all areas with moving parts.
►Never work with the unprotected V-417.xx6211E0 if you have long hair, loose jewelry or
clothing.
CAUTION
Burning due to hot surface!
The drive of the V-417.xx6211E0 and the surroundings can heat up during operation.
Touching the drive and surrounding parts can result in minor injuries from burning.
