QNP3 Hardware Manual
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : QNP3 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
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift the stage. Improper
handling could adversely affect the performance of the QNP3 stage.
Lift only by the base.
l
Do not use the tabletop or cable as lifting points.
l
W A R N I N G : An unsecured QNP3 could be dragged off of a mounting surface by its
unsupported cable.
Carefully remove the QNP3 stage from its protective shipping container. Gently set the QNP3 stage on a
smooth, flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the QNP3 stage, 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-less air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each QNP3 has labels listing the model number, system serial number, and axis identifier (typically X or Y).
The labels are located on the two D-connectors. These numbers contain information necessary for
maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and record the information for later
reference. If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
