Overview Chapter 1: Overview N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. 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. 1.2. 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 ADRS. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the ADRS specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.
Overview 1.3. Basic Specifications N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. 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.

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.

If machining is required to achieve the desired flatness, it should be performed on the mounting surface rather than the ADRS. Shimming should be avoided if possible. If shimming is required, it should be minimized to retain maximum rigidity of the system. ADRS series stages have a fixed mounting pattern (as shown in Figure 2-4).
N O T E : If your ADRS was purchased with Aerotech controls, it might have been tuned with a representative payload based on the information provided at the time of order. If the ADRS is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
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 ADRS is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the ADRS 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.
All motor and controller manufacturers have their own designations for motor ØA/ØB/ØC and Hall signals A/B/C (refer to Section 3.5. for motor phasing). Shielded cables are required for the motor and feedback connections. Figure 3-1: Motor and Feedback Wiring www.aerotech.com Chapter 3...
300 rpm N O T E : The encoders used on all ADRS series stages come standard with a 16 MHz clock rate. Aerotech can provide slower or faster clock rates to match the controller being used. Consult Aerotech for more information.

ADRS Hardware Manual 3.4. 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.

If the stage is equipped with a rear seal (ADRS150 and ADRS200 only), the seal should be examined for excessive wear as part of this inspection interval. The application will determine the required replacement interval for the seal. The bearings, motor, and encoder for the ADRS series require no lubrication or maintenance.
9. Restore power to the stage. D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment. Chapter 4 www.aerotech.com...
