Introduction
The LMT 260 is a motorised x-y stage with Hydra DT LMT260 external motion controller
that can be used for different types of microscopes with the following features:
• Max. movement range of 120 mm (x) x 80 mm (y)
• Extremely flat arrangement enables easy mounting to the application
• Extremely dynamic linear motor drives
• Maximum speed of 500 mm/s
• Maximum acceleration of up to 2000 mm/s²
• Absolute position measurement system
• Position accuracy < ±2.0 µm
• Position repeatability < ±0.5 µm
• Low-noise operation up to max. speed
• Ethernet interface up to 100 MBit/s
• USB or RS2 2 interface
• Voltage: 24 V operation
• Six user-specific programmable buttons
• Mechanical mounting device for standardised microscope sample up to 0.5 kg load
• Enhanced load range up to 1.5 kg available
In particular, the use of linear motors in combination with the absolute position sensor and
the state-of-the-art motion controller (ITK Hydra with VENUS motion language) enables
superior dynamic features and extremely fast computer access.
Special accessories, such as a Joystick and/or Handwheel (which are both based on CAN
bus communication), mean that it is easy and ergonomic to use, and also mean that it is
easier to initiate automated tasks, thanks to its integrated buttons which can be freely
programmed using the VENUS commands.
The 100 MBit/s Ethernet interface enables fast access to the data stream that is generated
by the movement and the applications.
Modern data management through the use of web-based data services, such as ftp, udp,
tcp-ip, etc., enables easy application design using Hydra for complex tasks.
Furthermore, the web-based service (including software updates) and stand-alone
operation can be easily implemented using the ASCI-based command high-level language
"VENUS".
Please refer to the VENUS software manual "Hydra_Venus_X_Y.pdf" (X,Y: indicates the
version).

3 Intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse
Intended use for the LMT260 is the x-y positioning (horizontal positioning, locked position
control mode) of one or more samples mounted on the sample fixture in microscope
application.
In addition, the LMT260 is suitable for the horizontal positioning of samples for other
applications without any horizontal forces.
The LMT260 is designed for use in a laboratory environment.
The LMT260 is not designed for non-horizontal use and/or using the moving parts of the
LMT260 in order to apply static forces to samples e.g. for supporting a milling spindle or
other tools.

4 Safety information
The LMT260 must not be used in areas in which there is a risk of explosion.
The LMT260 is a partly completed machine in accordance with MD 2006/42/EU, and is
delivered without a CE label.
As the operator of the LMT260, you are responsible for implementing suitable protection
measures that arise from your risk assessment. These measures must comply with all of
the safety requirements of MD 2006/42/EU.
Always take care when mounting/clamping the samples. Due to the high dynamics
of the x-y stage, samples can be unclamped and ejected from the stage due to high
speeds or high acceleration and this may cause material damage and/or personal
injury.
Internal (driving) forces are limited in order to avoid injuries to fingers, etc., caused by
clamping inside the LMT260.
To avoid injuries to fingers, etc., caused by clamping inside the LMT 60, do not
apply external forces to the LMT 60.
In case of emergency, you can lock off the control loop and the driving forces using
the button shown in Fig 6.5.3. However, you can lock off each axis by moving it
slightly in the opposite direction. The motion controller will lock off the
corresponding axis which can be easily moved afterwards.
Ensure that every operator of the LMT 60 is familiar with how it functions.
To set the motion controller back to its normal operation state (locked position mode), use
the button again or use the Venus software command "init".
A power-on cycle or the Venus software command "reset" allows you to completely restart
the system. The restart finishes as soon the button is permanently illuminated. During the
restart, no communication is possible.
If none of the actions mentioned above is successful, the error is still present.
