All drawings and illustrations are for reference only and were complete and accurate as of this manual’s release. Refer to www.aerotech.com for the most up-to-date information.
Indoor use only 1.1.1. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the FiberMax . At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the FiberMax...
Material Anodized Aluminum MTBF 30,000 Hours 1. Requires the use of an Aerotech controller. 2. Certified with each stage. 3. Requires the selection of an appropriate amplifier with sufficient voltage and current. 4. On-axis loading is listed. Values listed are per axis measured 20 mm off of top mounting platform.
1.3. Air Requirements It is important to the operation of the FiberMax that the air supply meets Aerotech specifications. The air must be filtered to 0.25 microns, dry to 0°F dew point, and oil free (nitrogen at 99.99% purity is recommended).
Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
The Y-axis shipping clamp is integrated into the design and only requires the removal of [QTY. 2] socket head cap screws. Retain the brackets and hardware for future use. Figure 2-1: Shipping Brackets and Bracket Screw Locations Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...

Access the mounting holes in the base of the FiberMax stage by sliding the carriage all the way to either end of travel (as shown in Figure 2-17 Section 2.2.). www.aerotech.com Chapter 2...
If the FiberMax is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur. Refer to the controller help file for tuning assistance.
N O T E : The regulated output pressure to the FiberMax should be set to zero. N O T E : Counterclockwise rotation of the regulator knob decreases the pressure to the counterbalance cylinder. Clockwise rotation increases the pressure to the counterbalance cylinder. Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
N O T E : Manually check for interferences between the cover and FiberMax system. 7. Proceed with the electrical installation and test the motion control system in accordance with the system documentation. For information on electrical connections, refer to Chapter www.aerotech.com Chapter 2...
Chapter 3: Electrical Specifications and Installation W A R N I N G : Electrical installation must be performed by properly qualified personnel. Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the FiberMax is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the FiberMax to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. N O T E : Refer to the other documentation accompanying your Aerotech equipment. Call your Aerotech representative if there are any questions on system configuration.
