Overview
1.1. Environmental Specifications
W A R N I N G : Do not expose this product to environments or conditions outside of the listed
specifications. Exceeding environmental or operating specifications can cause damage to the
equipment.
Table 1-2:
Environmental Specifications
Operating: 16° to 25° C (61° to 77° F)
The optimal operating temperature is 20° C ±2° C (68° F ±4° F). If at any time the
Ambient
operating temperature deviates from 20° C degradation in performance could occur.
Temperature
Storage: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) in original shipping packaging
Operating: 40 percent to 60 percent RH
The optimal operating humidity is 50 percent RH.
Humidity
Storage: 30 percent to 60 percent RH, non-condensing in original packaging
Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level
Altitude
Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below sea
level.
Use the system in a low vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration
Vibration
can affect system performance. Contact Aerotech for information regarding your
specific application.
Protection
ABL1000WB stages are not suited for dusty or wet environments. This equates to an
Rating
ingress protection rating of IP00.
Use
Indoor use only
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
Due to the small clearances in the air bearing design, extreme temperature environments could cause a
decrease in performance or permanent damage to the stage. Standard Aerotech air-bearing stages are
designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. The environmental temperature must be controlled to
within 0.25°C per 24 hours to ensure that the ABL1000WB specifications are repeatable over an extended
period of time. The severity of temperature effects on all specifications depends on many different
environmental conditions, including how the ABL1000WB is mounted. Contact the factory for more details.
