Motorizing Your Optem® Zoom 70XL
 The Zoom 70XL can be specified
with built-in motorized zoom, and/or focus functions. Choose from a
variety of motorization and control options to best suit your specific
application.
Stepper Motor Models – All Stepper Motor equipped
Zoom 70XLs feature Hall-Effect Sensors. This engineering improvement
ensures pinpoint mechanical accuracy and repetition for automated
applications, and presents a smaller zoom barrel clearance diameter for
improved space efficiency in OEM integrations.
Zoom 70XL can be specified in motorized configurations that facilitate
computerized control of the Zoom and Focus functions. Stepper Motors
permit discrete movement (steps) in fine increments. Homing
Sensors are standard on Zoom 70XL Stepper Motor models and provide a
“zero” position for repeating locations. This permits pre-programming
of setups for multiple work pieces.
 Stepper Motor Controller – A Stepper Motor Controller is
designed to operate the Stepper Motors. Manual operation is available
through the use of individual “rocker” switches. Each axis has its own speed control. RS232 operation
is implemented through a serial port and a Windows GUI. Software is
provided for use with Windows 9X, 2000, XP or NT. Connections are made with DB-25 Pin and a DB-9Pin Cable
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 Modular connectors on the motors and sensors to the
Cable. A Wall Transformer is required and must be ordered separately; 110V,
60Hz or 230V Wall Transformer, you must select either a U.K. Power Cord or a
Euro Power Cord. Download Stepping

OEM Stepper Motor Board – The use of an OEM Board replaces the
Stepper Motor Controller box. The OEM Board has all connections
on-board and is available with a code library for modification of
functions. Zoom 70XL OEM Controller Board connections are detailed in
the diagram below.
Stepper Control with LabVIEW™ VIs – For seamless system integration, Optem Zoom System stepper motors can be driven by LabVIEW VIs. Download LabVIEW VI Stepper Motor Driver Demo .zip (.25MB)
DC Motor Models – DC
Motors allow continuous movement throughout either the zoom or focus
range. Two ports in the back of the Motor Driver accept both zoom and
focus motorized functions.
