Chapter 1 Stage Safety
Location Title Label Details
A Danger-Pinch Points
and Heavy Objects
The linear stage presents a muscle strain hazard if one person attempts to lift it. When attempting to move the linear stage use a two-person-lift to prevent personal injury or damage to the linear stage.
To Installer - There exists a Crush and Cut hazard while installing the linear stage. The linear stage weighs from 13…63 kg (28…140 lb).
To User - The Pinch Point label identifies a moving object hazard, caused by the movement of the carriage on the linear stage. Never put fingers, hands, or limbs near the linear stage while running motion commands. Before executing any motion command, check that all maintenance tools have been removed from linear stage.
All types of linear stages, especially uncovered, present a pinch point hazard. This hazard may occur if fingers or hands come between the end cap and a moving carriage. Always lift the linear stage by the base and keep fingers and hands away from the opening and edges parallel to the carriage.
B Danger-Hazardous
Voltage
The Hazardous Voltage label identifies the junction box as a hazardous voltage area of the linear stage. To avoid injury be sure to follow Lockout­Tagout procedures before attempting maintenance on these linear stages.
C Danger-Strong
Magnets
The Strong Magnets label identifies non-ionizing radiation found in the linear stage. Magnet channels inside the linear stage are constructed with strong magnets. Strong magnets can disrupt the functionality of automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICD); people with a pacemaker should not work near the linear stage. Maintenance personnel working on the linear stage should avoid the use of metallic tools and secure items such as badge clip and other personal effects that could be attracted by the strong magnets. Strong magnets can erase magnetic media. Never allow credit cards or floppy disks to contact or come near the linear stage.
D Do Not Lift by
Junction Box
Do not attempt to move the linear stage by grasping the cable junction box. Moving the linear stage in this manner will damage the linear stage and create a pinch or crush hazard. The junction box is attached to the carriage, which is free to move. Lifting the linear stage in this manner will allow uncontrolled movement of the heavy base. Always use a two-person lift and grasp the linear stage by the base at the end caps. Always keep fingers clear of the carriage’s path of travel.
E Stay Clear
Do not put hands or objects on the linear stage cover. Doing so could deform the cover and damage the linear stage, causing excessive wear on the cover supports or scraping noises when the linear stage is in motion.
F Sharp Edges
Always remove strip seals before removing the top or side covers. If it becomes necessary to remove the top or side covers or change the strip seal, exercise care when working near or on the strip seal. The edges of the strip seal are sharp and can cut if accidentally hit or if handled inappropriately.

Safety Labels

To prevent injury and damage to the stage, review the safety labels and their warning details and location before using the stage.

Clearances

General Safety

Heat

Vertical or Incline Payload

End Cap Impacts

Install the stage to avoid interference with the building, structures, utilities, other machines and equipment that can create a trapping hazard of pinch points.
Dress cables by using the Clearance Requirements
diagram on page 23 as a guide.
Do not cross the path of motion or interfere with the cable carrier motion.
Stages are capable of sudden and fast motion. Always Lockout-Tagout stage systems before doing maintenance. Systems integrated with stages must contain interlock mechanisms that prevent motion while users are accessing the stage. Rockwell Automation is not responsible for misuse, or improper implementation of their equipment.
When running the stage at its maximum rating, the temperature of the slide can reach 75
ºC (167 ºF).
A vertically or inclined mounted stage does not maintain position with the power removed. Under the influence of gravity, the slide and its payload falls to the low end of travel. Design engineers must design in controlled power down circuits or mechanical controls to prevent the stage and its payload from being damaged when the power fails.
The internal bumpers of the stage are designed to absorb a large impact from uncontrolled motion. The table on page 53
lists the energy that the bumpers can absorb before risking damage to the stage. The payload must be secured to the slide such that it does not sheer off in the event of an impact in excess of the bumper ratings.
The bolts securing the end caps are not be able to sustain multiple impacts and can eventually sheer. Correct the cause of the uncontrolled motion that caused the impact before continuing the use of the stage.

Recommended Maintenance Interval

Identifying Your Stage

Under normal stage use, follow these lubrication guidelines.
You determine the frequency of re-lubrication that is best suited to your application as an application's environment, motion profile, and duty cycle can effect the re-lubrication time period required.
Lubricate the stage every 6 months or 2500 km (1550 mi) of travel, which ever comes first. Use the MPAS grease gun kit and grease cartridge (catalog numbers MPAS-GPUMP and MPAS-CART respectively). See maintenance section for lubrication procedures.
Refer to Maintenance beginning on page 59
for lubrication procedures.
Use the following key to identify the options that your stage is equipped with. Be sure the information listed on the purchase order correlates to the information on the packing slip that accompanied your stage components. Inspect the assemblies and confirm, if applicable, the presence of specified options.

Mounting the Stage

Store the stage in area that is clean, dry, vibration free, and at a relatively constant temperature. Refer to Environmental Specifications for CHPS-Series Stage on
page 75
for more detailed information.
This section discusses mounting methods for your stage.

Before You Begin the Mechanical Installation

The machine designer is most qualified to determine the number and type of fasteners to use for mounting the stage. The following information is a guide for the decision-making process.
Determine the Number of Fasteners Required
The length of the stage determines the number of mounting fasteners that are required.
Use one of the following equations to calculate the required mounting hardware.

diagram.

Mounting the Stage

Follow these steps to install a stage on its mounting surface.
1. Be sure the mounting surface is clear of any and all foreign material.
Do not use abrasives to clean the surface.
If necessary, stone the mounting surface (acetone or methanol can be applied as cleaning agent).
2. Verify that the flatness of the surface that the stage is to be mounted.
The total indicator reading (TIR) is 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.) per 300 mm (120 in.). TIR or runout, correlates to an overall flatness of a surface.
3. Lift the stage onto the prepared mounting surface
ATT EN TI ON : Do not attempt to move the stage by grasping the cable junction box. Moving the stage in this manner can damage the stage and create a pinch or crush hazard. The junction box is attached to the carrier that is free to move. Lifting the stage in this manner causes uncontrolled movement of the heavy base. Always use a two person lift and grasp the stage by the base at the end caps keeping fingers clear of the carrier’s path of travel.
The two lubrication ports on each end cap (four total) are M10 x1.5 tapped through holes and can be used to install lifting hooks supplied by the customer.
Personal injury and equipment damage can occur if stage is handled improperly.
Rockwell Automation Publication CHPS-UM001D-EN-P - July 2014 31
Chapter 4 Mounting the Stage
4. Align the stage on the mounting surface, and insert the correct number of mounting bolts. Refer to CHPS-Series Stage Dimensions beginning on
page 77
for detailed mounting dimensions.
5. Secure the stage by using all mounting holes. Torque bolts to the values shown in the Mounting Fastener Options
table on page 29.

Connecting the Stage

The installation procedure assumes you prepared your system for correct electrical bonding and understand the importance of electrical bonding for correct operation of the system. If you are unfamiliar with electrical bonding, the section Attaching the Ground Strap and Interface Cables
briefly describes and
illustrates correct system grounding techniques.
ATT EN TI ON : Plan the installation of your stage so that you can perform all cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with it removed. Be careful to keep any metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter can become lodged in the stage, that can result in damage to components.
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid hazard of electrical shock, perform all mounting and wiring of the stage prior to applying power. Once power is applied, connector terminals can have voltage present even when not in use.

Attaching the Ground Strap and Interface Cables

The only electrical connections necessary between the stage and the drive system are the ground strap and the two cables.
1. For electrical safety, connect the ground screw on the chassis of the stage to the ground bus for your system.
To reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), bond the stage with a braided ground strap, 12 mm (0.5 in.) wide minimum, to a grounded metal surface. This creates a low-impedance return path for high-frequency energy.
2. Torque the ground screw at the stage to 2 N•m (18 lb•in)
3. Form a drip loop in each cable at a point directly before it attaches to the
stage. Refer to the Connecting Kinetix Type Motor and Feedback Cables diagram for a visual example.
ATTENTION: Be sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors.
Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its components.

4. Attach the feedback cable, and the power cable to the stage.
ATTENTION:
Do not connect or disconnect the stage feedback cable, or the power cable while power is applied to them. Inadvertent pin connections can result in unexpected motion or result in irreversible damage to the components.
For Kinetix type connectors. a. Carefully align each cable connector with the respective motor
connector as shown in Figure 1.
b. Do not apply excessive force when mating the cable and stage
connectors. If the connectors do not go together with light hand force, realign and try again.
ATTENTION: Be sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and its components.
c. Hand tighten the knurled collar five to six turns to fully seat each
connector.
Figure 9 - Connecting Kinetix Type Motor and Feedback Cables
ATTENTION: Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-
tightened the recommended number of turns.
Improper alignment is indicated by the nee d for excessive force, such a s the use of tools, to fully seat connectors.
Connectors must be fully tightened for connector seals to be effective.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor, cables, and connector components.

ATT EN TI ON : PTC thermistor supplies a signal that indicates the stage temperature limit condition. Connect this signal to control system or drive system so it shuts down the stage power upon reaching a limit condition. Multiple levels of stage thermal protection are strongly recommend.
The following thermal protection methods are also recommended.
Typically digital drives use RMS current protection and or estimated

temperature vs. time (I
T) software protection schemes. Activated and set these available features according to the stage model ratings for your application.
Set the maximum value of ± peak-current-magnitude limits of your drive to the stage’s peak-current rating.
For drives without stage protection features, install stage fuses (current rating not to exceed stage continuous RMS) according to local and National Electrical Code. Uses time-delay type fuses that are rated for the drive PWM output voltage.

Please read the following notices about using your stage.
ATT EN TI ON : A runway condition is caused by incorrect motor, Hall, or encoder wiring. It results in uncontrolled speeding of the stage. Keep away from the line of travel while commissioning the stage.
The customer is responsible for ensuring the servo control system safely controls the stage with regards to maximum force, acceleration, speed, and preventing runaway conditions.
ATT EN TI ON : Stages are capable of very high forces, accelerations and speeds. Moving parts can cause personnel injury. Before running the stage, make sure all components are secure.
Check that the stage travel and air gap is clear of foreign matter and tools.
Objects hit by the moving stage can cause personnel injury or damage to the equipment.
ATT EN TI ON : Do not operate the stage with protective covers removed. Do not go near electrically live parts. High voltages can cause personal injury or death.

Travel Limits

CHPS-Series stages offer three methods for containing slide travel: software travel limits, optional overtravel limit sensors, and standard bumpers stops. For safest operation use all three.
Set software travel limits and overtravel limit sensors according to the maximum speed of the servo drive system and the payload of the application. You can determine the Deceleration Distance between the slide and the end-of-travel bumpers based on the combination of the Deceleration Rate of the load, and the available peak force from the stage-drive. Do a calculation similar to the one in

Bumper Stop on the stage can stop the slide up to the ratings listed in the table on page 53.
Bumper stops are not intended as range of motion stops, but they can stop the moving slide up to the ratings listed in Bumper Stops
on page 53.
Calculating the Stopping Distance
In the following example we calculate the stopping distance for a 10 kg payload on a CHPS-x8xE-xLMxxxx stage driven by a Kinetix 6000 drive (2094-xxxxx) by using the specification found in Appendix A necessary.

Motor Coil Resistance Measurements

If a motor coil electrical problem is suspected perform this check.
1. Let the coil attain ambient room temperature, approximately 25 °C (77 °F).
2. Verify the drive power is OFF.
3. Disconnect all stage leads (phases and ground) from the drive.
4. Measure the phase-to-phase (ptp) resistance of the phase combinations (U
to V, V to W, and W to U) and record the values.
Verify these three readings are approximately equal to each other.

Figure 17 - Motor Phasing Schematic

Compare the phase resistance readings to the cold resistance specification of the coil model. See CHPS-Series Stage Technical Specifications
page 83
.
on
If the three readings are balanced but vary from the specified reading, the reason can be a special coil model. Cable resistance can cause the result to be significantly higher.
5. To rule out the cable resistance, disconnect the stage cable and repeat the procedure this time at the stage motor power termination at the junction box.
6. Measure and verify the phase-to-ground resistance for each phase is >100 MΩ. A lower reading indicates a potential electrical problem.
To rule out a field cable problem disconnect the stage cable and repeat the procedure this time at stage motor power termination.
If any reading with the cable disconnected is
100 MΩ, consult Rockwell
Automation; the stage can have an internal electrical problem
Do not perform coil or insulation electrical stress tests (Megger or Hi-Pot test) without consulting Rockwell Automation technical support.

Chapter 9 Maintenance
Bearing Lubrication Ports (2x per end cap)

Lubricate the Bearing

Your stage requires lubrication every 6 months or 2500 km (1550 mi) of travel, which ever comes first. Use the MPAS grease gun kit and grease cartridge, catalog numbers MPAS-GPUMP and MPAS-CART respectively.
1. Position slide at end of travel and clamp it to hold the stage against end cap.
ATTENTION: Do not use clamp across the side panels. This can deform and damage the side panels.

2. Remove the lubrication port protective caps.
3. Insert the tip of grease gun in the lubrication port. Push in until contact
with bearing grease nipple is felt.
4. Pump handle until back pressure is felt or two strokes are completed.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to the second bearing on this side.
6. Move slide to opposite end of travel and repeat steps 1
7. Remove clamp.
8. Reinstall the protective caps on all the lubrication ports.
1. If installed remove strip seal and side cover on the side opposite the cable
carrier.
2. Clear any coarse or abrasive particles with a clean air line with maximum pressure of 10 psi.
3. Clean scale with a clean dry cloth. Avoid the use of solvents.
4. If necessary use isopropyl alcohol sparingly, apply with a wetted cloth by
using a gentle wiping action.
5.
5. Reinstall side cover and strip seal, if used.

IMPORTANT

Strip Seal Cleaning

Cover Cleaning

Clean the strip seals, if installed, by using a lint free cloth lightly saturated with isopropyl alcohol
Repl ace the stri p seal if it c annot be cleane d, or if an uneven or scored surface is detected during cleaning.
A buildup of foreign material on the strip seal degrades the performance of the linear stage. This buildup coupled with rapid movement of the slide and the resulting friction can score the surface and create a burnished appearance on the strip seal
Elements contributing to a typical buildup on the strip seals are dust, grease, and other contaminates normally encountered in any operating environment that is not strictly controlled.
Refer to the Strip Seal Removal
Replacement procedure on page 66 when performing this task.
Clean the covers at the same time you clean the strip seals. Use pressurized air and a lint free cloth lightly saturated with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or grease.

Stage Stacking 89
Specifications for Stacked Stages 90

Stage Stacking

Certain combinations of MPAS linear stages are designed to be stacked on top of one another. Stacking forms an X-Y axis arrangement. A center-stack arrangement mounts the top axis in the middle of the bottom axis. The top stage is centered on the bottom stage.

Table 12 - Stacking Stages

Rockwell Automation Publication CHPS-UM001D-EN-P - July 2014 89
Appendix C Stacking Stages

Specifications for Stacked Stages

Linear stage specifications are based on mounting the stage to a precision base along the entire length of the stage, and MPAS stage specifications follow this convention. In the case of stacked stages, the top axis is no longer supported along its entire length, and this alters both the precision and the load carrying capability of that stage. Furthermore, linear stage specifications are based on a specified test payload with a low center of gravity that is centered on the carriage. Deviations from the test payload condition can impact the performance of both the top and bottom linear stages.
The following table provides information about the payload that the top stage, or axis, can carry without derating the life of its bearings from those specified for the same stage mounted as a single-axis stage on a precision base.

This appendix is for use with CHPS-Series stages. This document addresses CHPS-Series stage-motor file parameter values and commutation wiring. Basic start-up test procedures and troubleshooting information is also given.
Motor, commutation, feedback parameters, and wiring affect commutation, and must be correct for proper motor-drive operation. Improper setup can cause stage control problems including erratic behavior, bad spots, runaway, and thermal failure.
The CHPS-Series stage has four termination options. The Kinetix/MPF option is recommended for plug & play to Kinetix and Ultra family servo drives. Kinetix MPF interconnect cable makes it easy to wire the stage and set-up commutation with the Ultra3000 Drive. drives and Logix® version Ultra3000 drives are the same.
If you are not using Kinetix/MPF termination option, properly wire the stage to the Ultra drive by using the following connectivity information. Refer to the CHPS-Series Stage Connector Data for additional information.

Linear Motor File Parameters

Creating a CHPS-Series Stage Motor File

The following guide supplements the information found in the Ultra3000 drive manuals. Some of the motor parameters are critical for commutation and motor protection. Incorrect entry of theses motor parameters can cause motor problems,
Ultraware assumes a linear motor is functionally equivalent to a rotary motor. However, the functional equivalent to a rotary motor is a complete linear motor driven stage. To account for the difference, the parameters highlighted in bold in the Linear Motor Parameter File (.mdb extension)
table shown below must be
adjusted to stage level specifications.
Complete CHPS-Series stage motor specifications are in the linear motor specifications information contained in this manual or the motor’s data sheet. Identify the stage motor option for your CHPS-Series stage and use the corresponding data.
Conversion Factors:
Ultra3000 drive ampere units are measured at the peak of the sine wave, not RMS. Standard CHPS-Series stag e motors are rated both ways. Be sure to select the correct value. If necessary, use the following conversion.
ampere peak = 1.4 x RMS

All Ultra drive electrical parameters are defined phase-to-phase. Standard CHPS-Series stage motors are specified phase-to-phase. If necessary, use the following conversion.
phase-to-phase = 2 x phase-to-neutral

Recommended Start-up Sequence

Follow these steps for optimal motor commutation, performance, overcurrent, and overtemperature protection.
1. Set General Axis Parameters (.udb file extension) a. Auto Motor Iden = disabled for linear motors. b. Motor Model: select as needed. c. Total Moving Mass in kg = coil mass or magnet mass + moving
structure mass+ moving cable assembly mass + customer load.
d. Current Limits in Amperes peak - set as needed for the application. The
drive uses the lowest value between the drive rating and the motor
rating. e. Display Precision - Set to 2 decimal places. f. User Current Fault in Amperes peak - this is the continuous current. Set
as needed for the application. The drive uses the lowest value between
drive rating and the motor rating. To avoid nuisance tripping of the fast-
acting protection, it can need to be set slightly higher.
2. Follow instructions from the standard drive manual and other applicable documentation. Pay special attention to electrical noise control by using cable shielding, shield termination, grounding, and bonding.
3. Wiring must match the CHPS-Series stage and Ultra drive connectivity table provided on page 92
. Incorrect wiring or Hall offset combinations can result in motor motion that has excessive force ripple and increased current, temperature, or reduced force per unit of current.
4. Verify that the correct motor file is selected or correct custom motor parameter values are entered.
5. User Current Fault parameter - this value must not exceed the CHPS­Series stage motor’s continuous current rating.
94 Rockwell Automation Publication CHPS-UM001D-EN-P - July 2014
Start-up Guide for CHPS-Series Stage with Ultra3000 Drive and Ultraware Software Appendix D
6. Current Limit parameters - the positive and negative current limit, must not exceed the CHPS-Series stage motor’s intermittent current rating. Set per the application requirements.
7. Verify correct encoder polarity and test distance count. Encoder must count in positive direction when CHPS-Series stage is moving in the positive stage direction as shown in Stage Positive Direction
on page 48. Also see CHPS-Series Stage and Ultra3000 Drive Troubleshooting
Reference on page 96. Incorrect encoder sequencing can cause a runaway
motor condition or incorrect commutation.
8. Perform Commutation Diagnostics only if enough free +/- travel distance is available. You can guarantee optimal commutation only by doing oscilloscope verification.
You can use the following checks for non-optimal commutation verification. These tests cannot detect bad spots and other anomalies.
Use Current Control Panel mode to give a small positive current
command. Verify the stage moves in the positive direction.
Check for consistent force resistance over whole travel by pushing the
slide to multiple locations.
Check that the amount of current to move the load and overcome
friction forces at a low steady speed are correct.
The motor’s force constant (Kf ) can also be verified with a force gauge.

9. When current mode tests successfully, perform auto velocity or manual velocity tuning with the Ultraware oscilloscope function, do this even if you are using current mode to control your application. This further evaluates commutation and check for a good step response.

(1)
phasing method given in the Ultra3000 Drive Manual make false recommendations if the test set-up current level is too low, or an obstruction is encountered during the test motion. The CHPS-Series stage wiring must not deviate from the standard wiring. Do not use the utility if the free travel distance of the application is less than the required ± test motion.
These are the pre-test requirements.

1. Check for mechanical problems with the stage assembly.
2. Use a test current value high enough to overcome non-acceleration forces
of stiction and friction, cable drag, magnetic attraction. A typical value used is 15…20%. But values as high as 40% can be necessary.
3. Verify the free travel range from motor starting position is at least two magnet pitches or 1 electrical cycle, in the negative direction, and four magnet pitches or 2 electrical cycles, in the positive direction.
(1) The phasing diagram in the drive manual is for phase-to-neutral measurements. This requires use of a balanced resistor Y network
to create a virtual neutral. Alternatively, the phase-to -phase diagrams and procedures in the Ultra 100/200 can be used because they are equivalent to each other after the phase shift correction is made.

Self-sensing Commutation and Startup

This type of commutation does not use the Hall effect sensor. Motors with a Hall effect sensor connection can be set to self-sensing commutation, the Hall effect signals are ignored. Self-sensing start-up is not commutation diagnostics. You can perform commutation diagnostics at any time on Hall effect or self-sensing motors. Self-sensing start-up refers to the motor motion initialization that is executed automatically after every power-up and enabling of the system. It synchronizes the arbitrary encoder position or count to the drive’s initial commutation angle.
This is the self-sensing start-up sequence:
Enable is activated.
Motor locks into detent or zero force position > up to ± one magnet pitch
(½ electrical cycle) of motion jerk.
After jerk motion settles out in 1 or 2 seconds, motor executes a slow speed
test move of approximately two magnet pitches or one electrical cycle in the positive direction.
Drive disables, ready for normal operation.
During this startup, the drive evaluates the test motion. A fault indicates that the motor motion was not as expected. Possible reasons include the following:
Mechanical problem with the stage such as excessive stiction, friction, or
cable drag.
Obstruction during test motion.
Incorrect coil or encoder wiring.
Encoder or signal problems, device fault, wiring problem, noise.
During startup, the drive uses a fixed 1/6 of the peak motor or drive
current, whichever is lower.
Ultraware software version 1.3 with firmware revision 1.16 (or greater) has improved functionality with proper alignment under any single obstruction:
If during the positive test move, after detent, an obstruction is
encountered, a test move is done in the opposite direction after re­initializing the new detent.
If an obstruction prevents the motor from going to the real detent, for
example, detent past negative hard stop, the Ultra drive senses a false detent during the test move due to false alignment. After re-initializing of the new detent a second test move is done in the positive direction.
The self-sensing routine can take 2x longer because of obstructions.
If a second obstruction is detected during whole routine, such as low test
current or too high friction, the test faults.
The new versions lets a user programmable test current value.
Limit signals sent to the Ultra Drive are ignored during self-sensing start-
up.
