Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the stage. Aerotech stages are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Any deviation from standard operating temperature will affect stage accuracy. The severity of temperature effects on all stage specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the stage is mounted.

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.
N O T E : To maintain accuracy, the mounting surface must be flat to within 1 µm per 50 mm. ARMS series stages have a fixed mounting pattern (as shown in Figure 2-10).

N O T E : If your ARMS 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 ARMS is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
Electrical installation requirements will vary depending on product options. Installation instructions in this section are for ARMS 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.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required. The protective ground connection of the ARMS provides motor frame ground protection only. Additional grounding and safety precautions are required for applications requiring access to the stage while it is energized.

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