Configure Size

The linear motor stages of the LMX1 series can be combined to form cross tables. The structure of the order number shows that almost every combination of LMX1 linear motor stages is possible.

  • ±5 arc-sec

    Orthogonality of the assembled axes

  • ±0.001 mm

    Repeatability

  • ±3 µm

    Absolute accuracy after error mapping with a HIWIN drive

Applications

  • Machine tools
  • Semiconductor industry
  • Optical inspection equipment

Models

The standard cross table is the LMX2E: a coreless CB5 upper axis mounted across a coreless CB8 lower axis, ordered by stroke pair from the nine standard combinations in Tables 2-30 and 2-31. Encoder, limit switch, cover and cable chain codes append per the ordering diagram (G200 standard). Chapter 3 of the catalog shows customized LMX2C, LMX3C and LMX4C cross tables mixing iron-core and coreless axes.

Axis motors

Cross tables assemble from LMX1 single-axis stages; the motor family is chosen per axis.

  • CB5-CB8 Coreless (LMC motors) — Standard LMX2E pairs a CB5 upper and CB8 lower axis; no cogging, high speed
  • SA11-SA33L Iron-core (LMSA motors) — LMX1A axes for point-to-point positioning and larger payloads
  • TA2 Shaft motor (LMT) — LMX1E-TA2 axes; coreless shaft motor for light payloads

Encoder types

Scale codes from the cross-table ordering diagram; G is the standard fit.

  • G TTL digital 1 µm optical scale — Standard
  • H / K / M TTL digital optical scales, 0.5 µm / 0.1 µm / 20 nm — Finer resolution steps
  • A / B / P Analog 1Vpp optical scales, 40 µm / 20 µm / 40 µm glass
  • D / E Magnetic scales, 1 mm analog / TTL 1 µm
  • 0 / X None / other — X: remark the desired specification

Limit switches

  • 2 Optical switch, NPN — Standard
  • 3 Optical switch, PNP
  • 4 Inductive type, NPN
  • 0 / C None / customized

Covers

  • 0 None — Standard
  • A Metal cover — The with-cover stage in Table 2-31
  • B Bellows
  • D Non-woven

Cable chains

  • 1 Horizontal direction — Chain internal space 15x30 mm
  • 2 Vertical direction — Chain internal space 15x30 mm
  • 0 / C None / customized — 0 is standard

How buying works

Spec it in the configurator: drawings, 3D CAD, and a quote to follow.

HIWIN series are configured to your application, not bought off the shelf. Start from your loads and speeds if you are still choosing a size.
