ALS130H Hardware Manual

Chapter 2: Installation

W A R N I N G : ALS130H installation must be in accordance to instructions provided by this
manual and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in injury or damage to the equipment.

2.1. Unpacking and Handling the Stage

Carefully remove the ALS130H from its protective shipping container. Gently set the ALS130H on a smooth,
flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the ALS130H, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
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-free air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each ALS130H has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain
information necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and
record the information for later reference.
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the ALS130H.
Unsecured moving parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
W A R N I N G :  Lift the ALS130H only by the base. Improper handling could adversely affect the
ALS130H 's performance.
W A R N I N G :  Do not attempt to move the carriage (or table top) of the ALS130H until the
shipping brackets have been removed. Moving the carriage with the shipping brackets installed
can cause permanent damage to the ALS130H.
Red, anodized aluminum shipping brackets have been installed to prevent unwanted motion and potential
damage from occurring during shipment (see
ALS130H can be operated. Retain the brackets and hardware for future use.
N O T E : After removing the lifting features or shipping brackets, retain them for future use. In the event
that the product requires service at the factory, the lifting features or shipping brackets should be reat-
tached to ensure that the ALS130H ships safely.
