Materials & Sizes
For selecting the right choice for the application, the main criterion is certainly the type of output (as described before) as well as the
number of positioners to be wired.
Flanges: Connection:
Select between KF or CF flanges with 40 mm, or 63 mm
diameter, respectively. Open loop positioners require two electrical lines, resis-
tive encoded positioners (/RES) five, and optoelectronic
encoded positioners (/NUM+) are equipped with a SubD15
connector per axis. Consequently, the number of required
SubD15 flange feedthroughs vary depending on the positioner
type, e.g. a standard SubD15 connector can be used to ei-
ther connect a single /NUM+ encoded positioner or three /
RES encoded positioners.
Electrical feedthroughs:
Depending on the flange size either one or three SubD15
feedthroughs are integrated into the flange.
Cabling:
Each VFT package includes all cables necessary to connect the
positioner with the controller through the flange. An adapter
cable at ambient pressure (length: 2m) is used to connect the
controller to the flange. Inside the vacuum chamber attocube
uses only Kapton-insulated wires together with connectors
made from PEEK. Depending on the package the cable will be
made from woven flat (NUM) or two (open loop) respectively
two and three (RES) twisted pair wires.
