2.3. Securing the Stage to the Mounting Surface
W A R N I N G : The ALS130H must be mounted securely. Improper mounting can result in
injury and damage to the equipment.
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.
The mounting surface must be flat and have adequate stiffness to achieve the maximum performance from
the ALS130H stage. When it is mounted to a non-flat surface, the stage can be distorted while the mounting
screws are tightened. This distortion will decrease overall accuracy. Adjustments to the mounting surface
must be done before the stage is secured.
Inspect the mounting surface for dirt or unwanted residue and clean if necessary. Clean the mounting
surface with a lint-free cloth and acetone or isopropyl alcohol and allow the cleaning solvent to completely
dry.
N O T E : To maintain accuracy, the mounting surface must be flat to within 5 µm over the entire stage
footprint.
Get access to the mounting holes (see
way to one end of travel.
Tightening torque values for the mounting hardware are dependent on the properties of the surface to which
the stage is being mounted. Values provided in
