Unpacking and Handling

Carefully unpack the air bearing stage and other components from the shipping packaging. Inspect the contents
for signs of damage. If there is any sign of damage or missing parts, contact PI immediately. Compare the
package contents to packing list and notify PI immediately if any parts are missing or incorrect. Keep all
packaging materials in case the product needs to be returned.
Before mounting or using the stage, it is recommended to let the stage stabilize at room temperature for at least
24 hours. Clean any dust or shipping debris off the stage by blowing it off with pressurized nitrogen or clean, oil-
free air.
If the stage will be mounted in such a way as to block the product label, it is recommended to record the stage
serial number for future reference.
The A-62x stage must always be transported and shipped with the shipping restraint installed.
Failure to use the shipping restraint when moving, transporting, or shipping the stage may allow
movement between the stage table and stage base, causing damage.
The stage table should never be moved without the air supply turned on. Moving the stage table
with no air supply, causing sliding metal-to-metal contact, may damage the bearing surfaces.
Use care when moving the stage. Manually lifting or transporting stages can result in injury.
Use care when moving the stage. Avoid any shocks, drops or bumps that can cause scratches,
dings, dents, or distortion of the stage.
When lifting the A-62x, take care to lift only by the base plate of the stage. Do not lift using any
other part of the mechanical system, or damage may occur.
The A-62x stage weighs up to 50 kg in its largest size. Use care when lifting and use two people to
lift.
