Application context
Why this design is used
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Repeatable production indexing
Move parts between fixed stations with closed-loop encoders holding position over long shifts.
Programmable multi-axis motion
Coordinate several axes from software for processing, inspection and test sequences.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect PA100 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Travel and resolution
- Travel range(mm): 100 · Step resolution(µm): 20
- Separate travel from resolution and both from repeatability. Repeatability is what an automated sequence actually depends on, and it is the figure most often absent from a headline specification.
- Drive and feedback
- Motor and its stepping angle (°): Two-phase 57 stepping motor, 1.8 · Brand and model number of motor: Shinano，SST59D3206
- Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
