Overview Chapter 1: Overview N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. All drawings and illustrations are for reference only and were complete and accurate as of this manual’s release. Refer to www.aerotech.com for the most up-to-date information.
Contact the factory for more details. The accuracy specification of ANT20G series stages is measured at the center of rotation with the stage in an unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or exceeding the specification in Section 2.3.

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.
Refer to Section 2.2. for specific model mounting locations and dimensions. Table 2-1: Stage to Mounting Surface Hardware Mounting Hardware Typical Screw Torque M4 Socket Head Cap Screws (4 places) 2.0 N·m Figure 2-6: Mounting Hole Pattern Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
N O T E : If your ANT20G 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 ANT20G is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.

W A R N I N G : Electrical installation must be performed by properly qualified personnel. Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the ANT20G is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the ANT20G to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. N O T E : Refer to the other documentation accompanying your Aerotech equipment. Call your Aerotech representative if there are any questions on system configuration.
