Attaching The Payload To The Stage - Aerotech ANT95R Hardware Manual

Mechanical Specifications and Installation

2.4. Attaching the Payload to the Stage

Inspect the mounting surface for dirt or unwanted residue and clean if necessary. Clean the mounting
surface with a lint-free cloth and acetone or isopropyl alcohol and allow the cleaning solvent to
completely dry.
Aerotech recommends that customers use a representative payload during start-up to prevent
accidental damage to the stage and the payload. Proceed with the electrical installation and test the
motion control system in accordance with the system documentation. Document all results for future
reference. For information on electrical installation refer to
the documentation delivered with the stage.
IMPORTANT: If your ANT95R 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
ANT95R is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the
shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur. Refer to the controller help file
for tuning assistance.
The payload must be flat, rigid, and comparable to the stage in quality to maintain optimum
performance.
IM PORTAN T: If possible, use 3-point mounting when you attach the payload to the stage.
IMPORTANT: For valid system performance, the mounting interface should be flat within 1 µm
per 50 mm.
WARN IN G: Refer to the dimensions in
engagement. A screw extending through the stage table can affect travel and damage the
stage.
