Non-Contact Limit and Origin Switches Integrated, high-precision,non-contact Hall-effect origin
and limit switches with direc-
tion sensing on the origin
switch protect your equipmentand increase versatility inautomation applications. Setup and Daisy-ChainFeature Setting up the PIIntelliStage™is very easy. Connect one endof the cable (included) to the
RS-232 interface of the PC and
to the power supply (included),
the other end to the stage and
start the software (included).PIIntelliStages™ can be easilydaisy-chain networked to form
multi-axis
motion control sys-
tems—no extra parts are
required. Whenever an addi-
tional stage is needed, it can beadded and controlled from thesame PC off the same interface
(see drawing). Up to 27
PIIntelliStages™ can be daisy-
chain networked.

drawing. M-500 Series PIIntelliStages™are designed to meet demand-
ing positioning requirements atminimum expense. High Level of Integration Because of the high level ofintegration, PIIntelliStages™contain less than 50% of the
components of a classical con-
troller/stage setup (electronics,
mechanics and cables!). This
fact automatically increases the
reliability and eliminates thepotential of incompatibility.Mechanically, the stages fea-ture an ultra-stable, lightweightbase precision machined from
high-density, stress-relieved
aluminum. The functional flat
design allows multi-axis com-
binations. Precision-ground recirculatingballscrews (higher precision
than rolled ballscrews) with
preloaded nuts provide low-
friction, backlash-free position-
ing. High-precision linear guid-ing rails with recirculating ballbearings (no cage migration!)
guarantee 1 µm/100 mm
straightness and flatness. A
high-resolution, 5-phase step-
per motor with 20,000
steps/revolution provides mini-mum incremental motion of 0.1 µm.
Application Examples Combination of two M-511.5i PIIntelliStages™ and an M-060 rotation stage. The special controller in the foreground allows operation of PIIntelliStages™ and other PI motorized stages from one computer interface. Disk drive test setups R&D
