Motorizing Your Telecentric Zoom 100
 The Optem® Telecentric Zoom 100 can be specified as a DC motorized zoom, or as the Stepper-Motor Controlled E-Iris T-Zoom 100.
All Upper Zoom Modules may be selected with an integral DC or Stepper Motor system that is actuated with Qioptiq Imaging Solutions drivers.
E-Iris Stepper Motor Model
The T-Zoom 100 can be specified in motorized
configurations that facilitate computerized control of the Zoom
function. The Stepper Motor permits discrete movement in fine
increments (“steps”). A Hall-Effect
(magnetic) Homing Sensor is standard on the T-Zoom 100 Stepper
Motor model, which provides a “zero” position for repeating location.
This permits pre-programming of setups for multiple work pieces.
E-Iris Stepper Motor Controller
The Stepper Driver is designed to operate the Stepper Motors (zoom and
iris) concurrently. Manual operation is available through the use of a
“rocker” switch. RS232 operation is implemented through a serial port
and a Windows GUI. Software is provided for use with Windows 9X, 2000,
XP or NT. The Optem® T-Zoom 100
utilizes a unique Stepper Motor Driver designed to control the E-Iris version. This configuration
controls both zoom position the internal
iris position.
Connections are made with DB-25 and DB-9 Pin Cables which are both
included with the Stepper Driver. The DB-25 Pin Connector Cable plugs
directly into the separate Junction Box which splices the individual
six position RJ Modular connectors on the motor and sensor to the
Cable. A Wall Transformer is required and must be ordered separately;
110V/60 Hz or 230V/50 Hz. Note: In the case of the 230V Wall
Transformer, you must select either a U.K. or Euro Power Cord.
 OEM E-Iris Stepper Motor Board
All connections are identical to the T-Zoom 100 E-Iris Stepper Motor
set-up. The use of an OEM Board replaces the Stepper Driver box. The
OEM Board has all connections onboard and is available with a code library for modification of functions. Windows 9X/NT
compatible software is available for downloading here.

Transformer are not supplied with the OEM Board.

 DC Motor Models
A DC Motor Driver must be used to drive the DC motorized versions of
the T-Zoom 100. DC Motors allow continuous movement throughout the zoom
range.
Ports in the back of the Motor Driver accept the zoom motorized
function. In addition, a Wall Transformer is required and must be
ordered separately; 110V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz.
