Engineering reference
Specify ASK13A-40CC from the interfaces inward
ASK13A-40CC is a configurable precision positioning mechanism in the Manual Stages family. The final part number should be released only after the optical, mechanical, electrical and environmental fields below are matched to the intended instrument.
A positioning mechanism converts drive motion into a constrained degree of freedom. Travel and nominal resolution are insufficient on their own: load, stiffness, backlash, repeatability, straightness, encoder placement and controller architecture determine positioning at the payload.
The local price-list record does not provide a complete model specification or datasheet. These fields identify what must be confirmed on the model drawing and quotation without inventing an option-dependent value.
Configuration fields to confirm
- Motion envelope
- State travel or angular range, usable aperture and collision-clearance requirements.
- Payload
- Provide mass, center of gravity, applied moment and orientation.
- Accuracy performance
- Define resolution, minimum incremental motion, repeatability, accuracy and allowable runout.
- Speed and duty cycle
- Specify velocity, acceleration, settling time and expected move profile.
- Mounting datums
- Confirm footprint, thread standard, axis height and payload interface.
- Controller and environment
- Match motor, encoder and limit wiring; state vacuum, cryogenic or cleanroom requirements.
Qualification sequence
- 1Define the measurement objective and the performance limit that ASK13A-40CC must satisfy.
- 2Freeze wavelength, mechanical, fiber and electrical interfaces before selecting option codes.
- 3Check loss, noise, heat, motion or vibration contributions in the complete system budget.
- 4Confirm the final drawing, pinout, environmental suffix and acceptance test with the quotation.
Application context
Why this design is used
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Scanning measurement
Incremental motion, settling time and encoder location set spatial sampling and throughput at the actual payload.
Technical FAQ
Integration questions for ASK13A-40CC
What must be specified before ordering ASK13A-40CC?
Confirm motion envelope, payload, accuracy performance, speed and duty cycle, mounting datums, and controller and environment. These fields are coupled, so the final part number should be checked against the complete instrument rather than selected from the model name alone.
How should ASK13A-40CC be integrated into the system?
A positioning mechanism converts drive motion into a constrained degree of freedom. Travel and nominal resolution are insufficient on their own: load, stiffness, backlash, repeatability, straightness, encoder placement and controller architecture determine positioning at the payload. Freeze the optical, mechanical and electrical interfaces before releasing the surrounding assembly.
Which documentation should be approved for ASK13A-40CC?
Approve the configuration-specific specification, mechanical drawing, connector or pinout definition, environmental suffix and acceptance-test limits supplied with the quotation. Any field absent from the local record remains a confirmation item, not an assumed capability.
