Q: Stage table load capacity & rotary stage table inverted use

Stage table load capacity Answer: Hello, we recommend the following diagram for the stage table's load-bearing capacity. Considering only volume factors, It is recommended that the length and width not exceed 1.5 times the size of the stage table surface, and the height not exceed 1 times the height of the stage table! Feel free to ask any questions below! Rotary stage table used upside down Question: Hello, our company wants to use GMT rotary stages - MR60-AR and MR85-AR - for inverted hanging applications with a load of 2 kg. Can GMT rotary stages be used for this purpose? Answer: Because the upper and lower plates of GMT 's rotary stage are connected by only a few screws, if it is used upside down... With only a few screws and a small amount of contact surface, the load-bearing capacity can be reduced to less than 30% of the standard load. Therefore, rotary stages are not suitable for inverted use.

Question 3

Stepper motor output power

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Output power = Rated speed * Rated torque
The speed and torque of a stepper motor are inversely proportional to each other nonlinearly (as shown in the figure below), so the "floating power" is a non-fixed value (16000~30000 as shown in the figure below).

Therefore, stepper motors generally do not have a power rating; instead, you look at the speed-torque characteristic curve.

Question 4

XY-TABLE positioning accuracy

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Hello, the accuracy of the general-purpose grade depends on the fit between the linear guide and the screw. Currently, the XY-TABLE general-purpose grade is equipped with a C7 screw of the conversion grade and an H-grade linear guide.
Currently, the maximum lead error of our C7 screw is 0.05mm, which meets your requirement of 0.1mm.

Question 5

Precision stage knob modification

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Hello, to avoid affecting accuracy, we do not recommend disassembling the parts yourself. If needed, please contact our sales department, and we will draw a separate diagram of the right-side knob for the MCT-49L (as attached).
Once you confirm that the drawings are correct, we can place the order for production. GMT will assemble an MCT-49LM with a right-side knob for you.

Question 6

Can the upper and lower sides of the magnetic base be magnetic?

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Hello, a magnetic base cannot be assembled to create a magnetic base with magnetism on both the top and bottom. There will be a problem of magnetic repulsion, so this design is not feasible.

Rotary stage table used upside down

Question:
Hello, our company wants to use GMT rotary stages - MR60-AR and MR85-AR - for inverted hanging applications with a load of 2 kg. Can GMT rotary stages be used for this purpose?

Answer:
Because the upper and lower plates of GMT 's rotary stage are connected by only a few screws, if it is used upside down...
With only a few screws and a small amount of contact surface, the load-bearing capacity can be reduced to less than 30% of the standard load.
Therefore, rotary stages are not suitable for inverted use.

Question 8

Selection of Multi-Axis Composite Manual Stage Table

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Don't worry! In general, as long as you tell us the combination you need,
And find the stage table you need in GMT 's manual stage table product line.
GMT can help you with the combination, easily meeting your requirements without any customization!

Question 9

Vertical load problem of rotary stage

Accepted Answer

Answer:
Currently, GMT rotary table MR60 is in normal use.
It can withstand a weight of 3KGF.
When the stage is used vertically, 30% of the load capacity must be deducted.
Original load 3KGFx (1-30%) = 2.1KGF,
This indicates that when the MR60 rotary table is used vertically, it can withstand a weight of 2.1 kgf!

Little tip:
If your manual stage (mini stage) needs to be used in a vertical environment,
You can subtract 30% from the original load weight for a simple conversion!
