Note
The stability of the optics housing alignment depends on the stability of the construction to
which the process flange is mounted. If the operation site is subject to movements due to, for
instance, thermal changes the optics housings will need repeated realignment. This can be
avoided by mounting the optics housing pair on an external, more stable base, such as concrete
or steel support.
