Setup

Overview

The XY(Z) Mapping Table comes with an electric motor and encoder to drive each axis, along with a
CNC controller and a portal for the vertical (Z-axis) stage.

The system requires 110-240 VAC to operate, and interfaces via RS232 to PCs.

The XYZ Table makes it possible to measure every sample within an X-Y range of 150mm x 150mm or
200m x 150mm. The resolution for the linear axes is 1µm, with an accuracy of 10µm. With the 100mm
vertical stage, you can attach holders for probes and other kinds of sampling devices.

1: Setup

Unpacking the XYZ Table

► Procedure

1. Unpack your Mapping table carefully. Although the stage is rigidly mounted dropping this
instrument can cause permanent damage.

2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage to your unit. In case
of damage contact the dealer immediately and DO NOT USE THE INSTRUMENT!

3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment (see Operating Environment

Contents

Your package should contain the following:

Operating Environment

The following table provides information on optimizing the operating environment of your XYZ Mapping
Table.

Operating Environment The D-2000 Unit . . .

Moisture Is designed for operation in dry rooms only.

Ventilation Should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere

with proper ventilation.

Heat Should be situated away from any device that emits excessive heat.

Object and Liquid Entry Should be positioned so that objects do not fall on top of the unit.

Additionally, ensure that no liquids are spilled into the enclosure
through openings.

Operating Instructions

Interfacing with the XYZ Mapping Table

The XYZ Mapping Table can be operated by several different kinds of software:

 The Mikropack Demo software (comes with the device)

 A terminal client (such as Hyperterminal or Tera Term)

 A script in Ocean Optics OOIBase32 Platinum software

Demo Software

Chapter 3

Upon first start-up, the application tries to find a XY-150x150 mapping stage on Com1. These are the
default settings.

The status bar displays the status of the connection. If your settings are correct, the box displays green and
“CONNECTED” appears. Otherwise, the box displays red and “NOT CONNECTED” appears.

The type of table is mainly defined by the number of axes. The length of the x-axis cannot be determined
by the software. This setting in this software only takes effect on the center position.

3: Operating Instructions

To move the stage in the desired direction, press a mouse button over the appropriate arrow. The stage
moves quickly when you press the left mouse button and slowly when you press the right mouse button.

Alternatively, you can move the stage using the keyboard.

Appendix A

Service and Maintenance

Though the Mapping Tables are mainly maintenance free, it may become necessary to lubricate the drive
screws of all axes with the provided special lubricant (approximately once per year).

x-axis:

Drive the x-axis to center-position and bring in the tube of the
injection to the drive screw and apply a little bit of lubricant to
the drive screw at both sides of the slide.

y-axis:

Put the mapping table in vertical position. At the Bottom is the
lubricant filler point.

Remove the label and bring in the injection tube.

Caution:

If the y-axis is running while lubricating the drive screw the tube
could be destroyed by the slide.

000-10000-130-02-1209 17

A: Service and Maintenance

z-axis:

Drive the slide to center-position and bring in the tube
of the injection to the drive screw and apply a little bit
of lubricant to the drive screw below and above the
slide.
