ABL2000 Series Stage User's Manual Installation Chapter 2: Installation This chapter describes the installation procedure the ABL2000 stage, including handling the stage properly, securing the stage to the mounting surface, attaching the payload, and making the electrical connections. Installation must follow the instructions in this chapter. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury and damage to the equipment. -
Page 18: Preparing The Mounting Surface
The mounting surface should be flat and have adequate stiffness in order to achieve the maximum per- formance from the ABL2000. When an ABL2000 series stage is mounted to a non-flat surface, the stage can be distorted as the mounting screws are tightened. This distortion will decrease the overall accuracy of the stage. -

Page 30: Load Capability
In Figure 3-2, the Lsc or “side cantilever” curve assumes a horizontal stage orientation. If a cantilevered load situation is used, measure the cantilever length (Dsc) and find the corresponding load value from Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2: Load capability of ABL2000 Series Stages Figure 3-3: Cantilever Length Diagram Chapter 3 www.aerotech.com... - Page 31 Both peak and continuous acceleration capabilities are given. The maximum acceleration pos- sible for the ABL2000 series stages is 2g. Note that this assumes that the payload is mounted close to the stage table center of gravity. Consult the factory if high accelerations are required with cantilevered or over- hanging loads.

Page 37: Chapter 4: Maintenance
Maintenance Chapter 4: Maintenance The ABL2000 series stages are designed to be maintenance free positioning systems. Due to the non-con- tact air bearing design, there are no friction surfaces or dynamic seals to wear or require lubrication. However, it is important to clean the bearing surfaces and encoder strips to maintain the accuracy of the stage. This chapter will detail the cleaning process and specify recommended cleaning solvents. -
Page 38: Cleaning Process
Maintenance ABL2000 Series Stage User's Manual 4.2.2. Cleaning Process It is recommended that all air bearing surfaces and encoder scales are cleaned often to prevent damage to the stage or decreased performance. The entire stage should be blown with clean, dry, compressed air often to prevent dust from building up in the linear motors, encoders, and air bearing surfaces. -
