Newport Corporation TSP Stage Series Stage Installation Allow clearance for the 25 pin connector. Bolting the Stage to the Surface Plate Clean the surface plate prior to mounting the stage. The stage should be attached at all four corners to the surface plate. To allow access to the counter bores, move the stage alternately to one end-of-travel limit and then to the other.
However, it is highly recommended that initial verifications of proper limit switch operation and of proper configuration of the controller are performed. Note: If using a controller other than a Newport controller, the stage may not work properly. Contact Newport technical assistance for modification instructions.
