* **Coil Resistance:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Coil Inductance:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Back EMF Voltage:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Thermal Resistance (Coil-to-Case):** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Maximum Coil Temperature:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Maximum RMS Current:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Maximum Peak Current:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Maximum RMS Power:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.
* **Fuse Rating:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520.**Mechanical Specifications*** **Mechanical Excursion (Rotor):** Varies by specific model within the 62xxH series. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.
* **Bumper Stop Angle (Initial Contact):** Varies by specific model within the 62xxH series. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.
* **Maximum Penetration into Bumper:** Varies by specific model within the 62xxH series. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.
* **Optical Aperture:** See "Technical Specifications" for details on typical beam diameters supported.
* **Rotor Inertia:** Varies by specific model within the 62xxH series. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.
* **Recommended Load:** Varies by specific model within the 62xxH series. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.
* **Scanner Weight:** Varies by specific model. Consult manufacturer datasheets for precise values.**Physical and Environmental*** **Operating Temperature:** Not explicitly specified for Model 520. Refer to individual datasheets for specific models within the 62xxH series. For example, the CPAD520 (a different component) has an operating temperature of -55 to 85 °C.
* **Heatsinking Requirements:** Adequate heatsinking is critical to prevent irreparable damage due to overheating. The scanner mount must dissipate heat effectively. For the 6210 scanner, the mount must dissipate 1.5 W/°C for a mount temperature of 40°C. In an XY mount, it must dissipate 3.0 W/°C for a mount temperature of 40°C. The maximum scanner body temperature should not exceed 50°C.**Compatibility and Control*** **Servo Drivers:** All Position Detector specifications apply with Cambridge Technology servo drivers after a 30-second warm-up. TuneMaster™ software is designed for maximum flexibility and can be configured to operate with Cambridge Technology's extensive line of precision closed-loop galvanometers.
* **Controllers:** Cambridge Technology SMC and EC1000 controllers utilize Ethernet communications for host-based applications and contain firmware for advanced scanner and laser control. Firmware versions must be consistent with application software.
* **Software:** ScanMaster Designer (SMD) or ScanMaster API (SMAPI) software can be used. Controller firmware upgrades may be necessary and can be performed using the software development kit (SDK).
* **Host PC Requirements (for software/controllers):** An IBM PC compatible running Windows XP or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) with an Ethernet network interface port (100/1000BaseT), 500MB free disk space, and 2GB minimum RAM is recommended. A screen resolution of 1280x1024 or higher is advised.Why Choose Aumictech for Cambridge Technology 520?
