3.2 Motor Mounting Options

The stepper motor can be mounted in two configurations:

• Motor Side Mounted: The motor is attached to the side of the linear stage.
• Motor Back Mounted: The motor is attached to the back of the linear stage.

Choose the mounting option that best suits your application's space constraints and design requirements.

3.3 Wiring the Stepper Motor and Driver (TB6600)

3.4 Multi-Axis Configurations

The linear modules can be combined to create multi-axis systems (e.g., XY, XZ, XYY axes) for more complex motion control. Specific configurations may require additional components or modifications:

• XY Axis: The actual stroke of the X-axis is occupied by the Y-axis about 80mm. May require drilling for proper alignment and mounting.
• XZ Axis: Requires a customized L-shaped connecting plate and replacement of the Z-axis wide tail plate.
• XYY Axis: May require drilling for proper alignment and mounting.

4. Operating Instructions

The linear rail stage operates by converting the rotational motion of the stepper motor into linear motion via the trapezoidal screw. The distance the mobile panel travels per motor rotation depends on the selected screw pitch.

4.1 Understanding Screw Pitch

The screw pitch defines the linear distance the mobile panel moves for one full rotation of the motor. For example, a 1mm pitch means the moving panel moves 1mm when the motor rotates one full circle.

For a visual demonstration of measuring screw pitch, you can refer to this video: Video of Measuring Pitch

4.2 TB6600 Driver Settings

The TB6600 driver allows for adjustment of microstep and current settings using DIP switches (SW1-SW6). Refer to the tables below for configuration.

Note: TB6600 driver has built-in temperature and overcurrent protection.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your linear rail stage.

• Cleaning: Keep the linear rail and trapezoidal screw free from dust, debris, and foreign particles. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a suitable lubricant to the linear rail and screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear. Consult the lubricant manufacturer's recommendations for frequency.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all mechanical components, including the belt, pulleys, and mounting screws, for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Motor Check: Ensure the stepper motor is free from excessive heat during operation. If overheating occurs, check current settings and load.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your linear rail stage.

• No Movement:
  • Check power supply to the motor driver.
  • Verify all wiring connections are correct and secure (refer to Section 3.3).
  • Ensure the motor enable signal (ENA) is active.
  • Check if the motor is receiving step pulses.
• Inaccurate Positioning:
  • Verify the screw pitch setting in your control software matches the physical screw pitch.
  • Check for any mechanical obstructions or binding along the rail.
  • Ensure the motor current is sufficient for the load.
  • Inspect the synchronous belt for slippage or wear.
• Excessive Noise or Vibration:
  • Check for loose mounting screws on the motor or linear stage.
  • Ensure the linear rail and screw are properly lubricated.
  • Adjust microstep settings on the driver to a higher subdivision for smoother operation.
  • Verify the motor current setting is appropriate.
• Motor Overheating:
  • Reduce the motor current setting on the TB6600 driver (refer to Section 4.2).
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the motor and driver.
  • Check if the load exceeds the motor's capacity.

If you encounter issues not covered here or require further assistance, please contact customer support.

7. User Tips

• For applications requiring high precision, consider using a smaller screw pitch and higher microstep subdivision settings on your driver.
• When designing multi-axis systems, plan your mounting points carefully to avoid interference and ensure smooth movement.
• Always test your setup with light loads first to verify functionality and calibration before applying full operational loads.
