ADRT Hardware Manual
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : ADRT 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
D A N G E R / H E A V Y : Do not attempt to manually lift a stage that is too heavy (in excess of
18 kg). Refer to
Do not attempt to manually lift heavy loads single handed.
l
With two or more people, only manually lift from the specified surfaces (if lifting hardware
l
hasn't been supplied).
Lift from the base.
l
Do not use any of the cables as lifting points.
l
Use a fork lift or cart to transport the stage.
l
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift the stage.
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the ADRT. Unsecured moving
l
parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the ADRT. Use care when
l
moving the ADRT.
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
The ADRT260 exceeds safe single-person lifting and handling specifications. Because of its weight (in
excess of 25 kg (55 lbs)), two people should be on hand to carefully lift and move the ADRT260. Lift only by
the base and, ideally, lift and move the stage on to a cart to transport the stage to its final location.
Carefully remove the ADRT from its protective shipping container. Gently set the ADRT on a smooth, flat,
and clean surface.
Before operating the ADRT, 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 ADRT 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.
Shipping Clamps
If the ADRT has shipped as part of a system, shipping clamps (typically red, anodized aluminum) may 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.
