on the specific application, and conditions such as the duty cycle, speed, and environment.
Monthly inspections should include but not be limited to:
Visually inspect the stage and cables.

Re-tighten loose connectors.

Replace or repair damaged cables.
l
Clean the ADRT and any components and cables as needed.
l

In general, repair and/or replacement of damaged or malfunctioning components by Aerotech field service
personnel is not possible. Repair typically requires that the unit be returned to the factory. Please contact
Aerotech Global Technical Support for more information.
4.2. Cleaning and Lubrication
There are no elements on ADRT stages that require lubrication.
The bearings, motors, and encoders for the ADRT series require no added lubrication or maintenance.
Periodic cleaning is recommended.
Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the ADRT, blow away small particles and dust with nitrogen
or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air.
Any metal surface on the stage can be cleaned with either acetone or isopropyl alcohol.
