For the protection of yourequipment, non-contact Hall- effect limit and reference switches are installed. Thedirection-sensing referenceswitch supports advanced automation applications with high precision. M-403 / M-413 and M-404 / M-414 series of linear stages form a modular system. The M-403 is the basic family, pro-viding travel ranges from 25 to200 mm. M-413 is designed for higher loads with travel ranges from 100 to 300 mm. The M-404 and M-414 stages have the same travel ranges and load capacities, but offer high-er precision and more speed. Low Cost of Ownership

High Precision Components Part of the M-403, M-404, M-413, M-414 Modular Family All models are equipped withhigh-precision linear guiding rails and recirculating industrial ball bearings. The recirculating ball bearings are maintenance free and immune to cage migra- tion. The choice of compo-nents and careful mountingguarantees high load capacity, longer lifetime and high guid- ing accuracy. The top-of-the-line M-404.xPDversions feature the high-per- formance ActiveDrive™ sys- tem. The ActiveDrive™ design,developed by PI, features ahigh-efficiency PWM (pulse width modulation) servo amplifier mounted side-by-side with the DC-Motor and offers several advantages: Recirculating Ball Screw Provides High Speed & Long Lifetime Travel Range 25 to 200 mm Min. Incremental Motion to 0.1 µm Resolution to 0.0116 µm Stress-Relieved Aluminum Base for Highest Stability The modular M-404 family ofprecision-linear stages pro- vides high-performance at a very attractive price. High-value components offeroptimum results in motion and positioning.The integrated low-frictionball-screw combines high duty-cycles and velocities with mini-mum incremental motion of 0.1 µm. These stages are de- signed with a precision-ma- chined, high-density, stress- relieved aluminum base forexceptional stability and mini-mum weight. Travel ranges from 25 to 200 mm are available.

Application Examples

Automation

These PI stages are especiallycost-effective in high perform-ance, high-duty-cycle applica-tions, when combined with the networkable single-axis con- trollers C-862 Mercury™ (see page 9-6) and C-663 Mercury™- Step.
