  • Page 10: Environmental Specifications

    1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the ABRT. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the ABRT specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.

  • Page 12: Air Requirements

    Air pressure must be in the range of 551 kPa ± 34 kPa (80 psi ± 5 psi) with an airflow rate of 56 SLPM (standard liters per minute) at 551 kPa for a single axis. Aerotech recommends that you connect the air supply with a polyurethane air hose.

  • Page 14: Figure 2-1: Abrt With Shipping Clamps

    If the ABRT has shipped as part of a system, shipping clamps (typically red, anodized aluminum) could have been installed to secure the system prior to shipment. The shipping clamps, if installed, will need to be removed prior to machine start up. Figure 2-1: ABRT with Shipping Clamps www.aerotech.com...

    2-6. Mounting the stage with the axis of rotation in a horizontal orientation is acceptable but could have a negative effect on performance. Consult Aerotech for more information if your application requires a horizontal axis of rotation configuration. Tightening torque values for the mounting hardware are dependent on the properties of the surface to which the stage is being mounted.

  • Page 20: Attaching The Payload To The Stage

    N O T E : If your ABRT 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 ABRT is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
  • Page 21: Chapter 3: Electrical Installation

    Electrical installation requirements will vary depending on product options. Installation instructions in this section are for ABRT 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.

    Chapter 4: Maintenance Chapter 4: Maintenance The ABRT series stages are designed to require minimum maintenance. Due to the non-contact air bearing design, there are no friction surfaces or dynamic seals to wear or require lubrication. This chapter will detail the cleaning process and specify recommended cleaning solvents.
