Fixing the Load to the L-406

NOTICE
Impermissibly high load on the positioner!
An impermissible high load impairs the motion of the motion platform and can damage the
positioner.
 For mounting type and mass of the load, pay attention to the maximum permissible forces
that are allowed to act on the motion platform according to the specification (p. 43).
NOTICE
Excessively long screws!
Screws and locating pins inserted too deeply can damage the lower positioner.
 Pay attention to the depth of the mounting holes in the motion platform (p. 46) of the
lower positioner.
 Only use screws and locating pins of the correct length for the respective mounting holes.
