4.1 Unpacking

Note. Retain the packing in which the unit was shipped, for use in future transportation.
Caution. Once removed from its packaging, the stage can be easily damaged by
mishandling. The unit should only be handled by its base, not by the motor or any
attachments to the moving platform.

4.2 Mounting

4.2.1 General

When mounting the stage close to other equipment, ensure that the travel of the
moving platform is not obstructed. If equipment mounted on the moving platform is
driven against a solid object, damage to the internal mechanism could occur. The
range of travel is as follows:
MAX200 and MAX201: X-axis 50mm (2"), Y-axis 75mm (3").
MAX202 and MAX203: X-axis 105mm (4.13"), Y-axis 70mm (3.75").
Caution. When mounting equipment to the moving platform, always use the fixings
supplied with the equipment being fitted. If these are not available, do not use fixings
that protrude more than 2.5mm below the bottom surface of the equipment being
mounted as this could damage the internal mechanism of the stage.
Damaging the stage in this way could invalidate the warranty.
