Precision Locator
This section provides an overview of the precision locator option for use with the MagneMo-
ver LITE motors. The precision locator provides a method to secure a pallet that is mounted to
an MM LITE puck to a specific location with a repeatability of ±0.05 mm. The standard motor
and rail configuration must be used when using this option.
Figure 3-60 shows the basic structure of the precision locator. The precision locator can be
mounted either to the MagneMover LITE stand beam or to a user-supplied custom mounting
surface. In either case, use the adjustable motor mounts.

Precision Locators
The precision locator is a small pneumatically powered fixture for precisely locating the pallet
that is mounted on a puck at a process station. The locator mechanism uses two rocker arms
with precision pins that mate with precision bushings in the pallet to lock the pallet into posi-
tion.
