Newport PM500

Hi forum,

 

We are using the Newport PM500 motion controller and are experiencing a problem during fiducial seek on one of the axis. The stage goes to the mechanical limit and freeze. Other axis seems fine. Anyone with a similar problem and/or with a solution?

 

Kind regars,

Dan

Is there a question about controlling instruments over a communication bus? If it is purely about your motion controller, the manufacturer's support forum is the best place to get help.

Thanks Santhosh,

 

I agree. 

 

This was a last resort kind of thing. Could be that someone here have had the same experience and hopefully a solution.

Velocity too high or deceleration too low?

Can you observe the states of the home and end of travel limit switches- if so are they working properly?
