Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Step-and-acquire across areas far wider than a single field of view.
Move parts between fixed stations with closed-loop encoders holding position over long shifts.
Coordinate several axes from software for processing, inspection and test sequences.
System integration
Use these checks to connect TBZF10-120 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Travel range(mm): 10 · Resolution (step/half-step) (µm): 1.82/0.91. 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.
Motor and its stepping angle (°): Two-phase 42 stepping,1.8 · Brand and model number of motor: Shinano,SST43D2126-10. 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.
