DDSM100 Direct Drive Translation Stage
3.2.4 Mounting In Multi-Axis Configurations
For dual-axis applications, two DDSM100 stages can be bolted together in an XY
configuration by using the DDSMP1 attachment plate.
Fig. 3.2 Typical XY Configuration
Regarding Fig. 3.2 above:
1) Using the four 8-32 UNC (M4) bolts supplied, fit the DDSMP1 plate to the lower
stage.
2) Using the two M3 bolts supplied, fit the upper stage to the adapter plate.
Caution
During item (1), use the bolts supplied. If these are not available, do not use
bolts longer than 3/32” (5 mm) as longer bolts could damage the internal
mechanism.
Caution
During item (2), use the bolts supplied. If these are not available, do not use
bolts longer than 8 mm as longer bolts could damage the internal mechanism.
Caution
When stages are mounted in an XY configuration, the accelerations stated in
Table 4.2 may require adjustment - see Section 4.1.
