5 Installation NOTICE Heating up of the L-509 during operation! The heat produced during operation of the L-509 can affect your application. Install the L-509 so that your application is not affected by the dissipating heat. INFORMATION For optimum repeatability, all components must be firmly affixed to each other. INFORMATION The use of locating pins during mounting reduces deviations from the ideal alignment of the stage.
5 Installation Mounting the L-509 onto a Surface NOTICE Protruding screw heads! Protruding screw heads can damage the L-509. Ensure that the screw heads do not protrude from countersunk holes so that they do not interfere with the stage motion. NOTICE Warping of the L-509 due to mounting on uneven surfaces! Mounting the L-509 on an uneven surface can warp the L-509.
