User Manual (Installation, Setup, Operation & Maintenance)
technical notes
1 All accuracy data is based on no-load conditions.
Contact ORBIT/FR for accuracy under load conditions.
2 AL-260-1 and larger models are equipped with adjustable
limit switches capable of approx 20° to 900° total travel.
When rotary joint and slip ring options are specifi ed,
limit switches remain but are electrically disabled.
Single-axis positioners are factory-set at:
• Azimuth Axis: 400° (± 200°)
3 Slip Ring & Rotary Joint Option Notes:
• Certain slip ring options may require an extension
cap that protrudes above the turntable surface.
Positioner height may increase. Consult ORBIT/FR.
• Slip ring contacts for customer use are provided
with dedicated connectors.
• When rotary joint and/or slip ring options are
specifi ed, no central thru-hole is available to the
user. Option TH002 and TH003 are available in
lieu of rotary joint and/or slip ring options.
4 AL-060-1 & AL-160-1 Models:
• Contain restricted limit travel settings of 330° (± 165°).
• Rated for indoor use only.
• Encoder accuracy is ± 0.03° in uni-directional
rotation and ± 0.1° in bi-directional rotation
(due to backlash).
• Interface readout - incremental encoder
(synchro not available), interfaces with AL-4160
series motion control systems only.
5 AL-260-1 and larger models are delivered standard
with synchro.
6 AL-260-1 is rated for indoor use only.
