Overview Chapter 1: Overview N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time.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.
Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the stage. Aerotech stages are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Any deviation from standard operating temperature will affect stage accuracy. The severity of temperature effects on all stage specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the stage is mounted.
Overview 1.3. Basic Specifications N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time.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.
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.
Shimming should be avoided if possible. If shimming is required, it should be minimized to improve the rigidity of the system. ASRT series stages have a fixed mounting pattern (as shown in Figure 2-7).
N O T E : If your ASRT 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 ASRT is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
Any mounting fixtures should leave access to the connectors, air fitting, and ground lug. The fixtures should also have a water channel around the hole plug to allow adequate drainage. Figure 2-14: Drainage Plug Location www.aerotech.com Chapter 2...
1/8 NPT pipe thread. Without this option, the ASRT ships with a 1/8 NPT plug. All threads are wrapped with Teflon tape at the factory to ensure good sealing. Figure 2-15: Air Purge Fitting Accessory Chapter 2 www.aerotech.com...
Electrical installation requirements will vary depending on product options. Installation instructions in this section are for ASRTs equipped with standard Aerotech motors intended for use with an Aerotech motion control system. Contact Aerotech for further information regarding products that are otherwise configured.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required. The protective ground connection of the ASRT provides motor frame ground protection only. Additional grounding and safety safeguards are required for applications requiring access to the stage while it is energized.
