OverviewThe document outlines the technical specifications and operational guidelines for the Model 8310 closed-loop Picomotor actuator and the Model 8751-CL Intelligent closed-loop Picomotor driver, designed for precise control and position calibration.
Specifications- Model 8310 Actuator: Features include a resolution of less than 30 nm, force exceeding 5 lbs (22 N), and bi-directional repeatability of ±1 µm over a 0.5-inch travel range. It incorporates a rotary encoder and limit switches.
- Model 8751-CL Driver: Manages one Model 8310 actuator, supports up to 31 drivers via Ethernet or RS-232, and includes setup software.
- Vacuum-Compatible Model 8310-V: Similar to Model 8310 but suitable for vacuum environments up to 10–6 Torr.
- Model 8330 Picomotor Actuator Ultra: Offers less than 30 nm resolution over a 3-mm travel range, ideal for VUV/EUV applications.
Operational ModesThe Model 8310 actuator operates in closed-loop mode for maintaining set positions or moving specified distances, supporting position- or velocity-profiled movements.
System IntegrationThe iPico system integrates multiple Picomotor actuators on the same network. The Model 8751-CL driver connects via RJ-22 and D connectors, controllable from a computer or network controller.
Technical RecommendationsFor optimal performance, it is advised to:
- Use lubricants like Krytox GPL 205.
- Maintain clean interfaces between actuator and load surfaces.
- Avoid pushing against soft materials.
- Handle screw threads carefully.
Additional Features3D models, compatibility with various mounts and stages, and options for customized orders are available. The Picomotor actuator Ultra is noted for its low outgassing rate, suitable for high-vacuum environments.
ConclusionThe Model 8310 and its variants provide high precision and stability for demanding applications, with comprehensive integration and control support through the iPico system.
