Indoor use only 1.2. 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 CCS. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the CCS specifications are...
3. Dry-Cutting (no ring seal installed) on a system with the -WCUT option limits tube size to 6.7 mm. Wet-cutting (ring-seal required and installed) on a system with the -WCUT option limits tube size to 3.0 mm. 4. Maximum loads are mutually exclusive. Loading limits are due to the collet chuck mechanism. Contact Aerotech directly if part load requirement exceeds specifications.

N O T E : To maintain accuracy, the mounting surface must be flat to within 1 µm per 50 mm. CCS series stages have a fixed mounting pattern (as shown in Figure 2-4).
To prevent damage or performance degradation of the stage, the unsupported length and weight of the attached pressure vessel is limited. N O T E : Aerotech recommends the following limitations on the size and weight of an unsupported pressure vessel: Length past end of rotary union (L): <200 mm...
The supply pressure for all three stages can be regulated to control the grip force on the workpiece material. Aerotech recommends using the minimum pressure required for the application that securely clamps the workpiece. Lower pressures reduce the possibility of damage to the workpiece, ensures the highest system performance, and increases the longevity of the system.
With these stages, air pressure must be independently supplied to the "Collet Chuck Open" air input or "Collet Chuck Close" air input to actuate the collet chuck. Using Aerotech's solenoid valve setup supplied in the pneumatics kit or by alternatively supplying/removing air pressure to each air input, check for proper operation of the collet chuck.
Levin Type D precision collets and Hardinge 3C/5C Special Accuracy collets must be used to guarantee the collet runout specifications. Contact the factory for more details. N O T E : Various grip diameters are commonly available and can be interchanged. Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
Insert the desired workpiece into the collet. Actuate the collet to the closed position to verify that the workpiece is clamped in the collet. Adjust the collet depth and/or air pressure as required. Step 6: Restore power to the stage. Figure 2-6: Collet Installation www.aerotech.com Chapter 2...
CCS stages have integrated collet retention features. The CCS190DR-260-5C stage has a positive retention system that consists of a collet retention screw, which fits directly into the collet’s keyway and prevents the collet from unthreading. Figure 2-7: CCS190DR-260-5C Collet Retention System Components Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
Remove the collet by turning it counter-clockwise. Store the collet in a safe location so it will not be damaged. If the collet is going to be stored for an extended period of time or where moisture is present, it should be coated with a thin layer of rust preventative oil. www.aerotech.com Chapter 2...

Electrical installation requirements will vary depending on product options. Installation instructions in this section are for stages equipped with standard Aerotech motors intended for use with an Aerotech motion control system. Contact Aerotech for further information regarding products that are otherwise configured.
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. N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required.

Electrical Specifications and Installation 3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction Aerotech stages are configured to have positive and negative "machine" directions. The machine direction defines the phasing of the feedback and motor signals and is dictated by the stage wiring (refer to Section 3.5.

4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule A frequent inspection and cleaning interval of the CCS series stages is recommended until a trend develops for the application. The inspection and cleaning interval depends on application conditions such as duty cycle, speed, and environment.
If the wear marks are large, or excessive polishing is required to remove these marks, the collet chuck and collet may need to be replaced. Contact Aerotech Technical Support for more information. Wear and fretting can be prevented with proper lubrication and maintenance intervals.
It is also recommended that the collet and chuck interface surfaces be cleaned, inspected, and relubricated every time the collet is removed. Figure 4-1: Collet and Collet Chuck Tapered Surfaces www.aerotech.com Chapter 4...
4.3.1. Piston Seal Change Procedure The collet chuck and actuation mechanism on the CCS series stages are equipped with o-ring seals that are designed to last many collet chuck (open/close) cycles. However, due to regular wear, the seals may require replacement during the lifetime of the product.
Step 5: Wrap the ringseal threads with Teflon thread seal tape [PTFE tape] in preparation for installation. Step 6: Re-insert the ringseal into the inner collet housing and tighten into position. Step 7: Re-insert the collet. Figure 4-4: Cross-section View of Ringseal Showing O-Rings www.aerotech.com Chapter 4...
CCS Hardware Manual 4.3.3. Wet Cut Rotary Union Seal Replacement (CCS130DR-160 with -WCUT option only) The rotary seal in the wet cut rotary union requires periodic replacement. Contact Aerotech for obtaining appropriate replacement seals. Figure 4-5 shows a cross section of the rotary union assembly.
4-8). Small wear marks are normal. If the shaft is undamaged, clean both the shaft and seal end cap surfaces with a lint-free rag and isopropyl alcohol. If the shaft is scratched (you can feel it with your fingernail), contact Aerotech Technical Support.
Also remove [QTY. 4] M5 rear housing cover screws along with cover (see Figure 4-6). Step 4: Remove the shoulder bolts and bushings (see Figure 4-10). Figure 4-10: Housing Assembly Showing Rotary Union www.aerotech.com Chapter 4...

Step 5: Remove and dry the rear cover and/or any wet-cut accessories on the rear of the stage. The rear cover can be removed by using a 2 mm allen wrench to loosen and remove the [QTY. 6] fasteners holding it on. Store the rear cover and fasteners together, in a safe location for later re-assembly. www.aerotech.com Chapter 4...
There may be o-ring lubricant present on some of the surfaces. The lubrication should be left if possible, but removing it will not cause harm to the system's operation. Figure 4-13: Collet-Chuck Piston and Piston Housing Cleaning Chapter 4 www.aerotech.com...
The grease nipple on the front face supplies the grease to the labyrinth seal, which acts as a fluid barrier during stage operation. N O T E : Do not add excessive amounts of grease to the labyrinth seal. Figure 4-15: Front of Stage Cleaning www.aerotech.com Chapter 4...
