3. Axis orientation for on-axis loading is listed. 4. Specifications are for single-axis systems measured 25 mm above the tabletop; performance of multi-axis system is payload and workpoint dependent (consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications). www.aerotech.com Chapter 1...
Special Guidelines To ensure that the PRO190LM will continue to perform well in the vacuum environment, follow the guidelines listed below (in addition to standard handling, installation, and lubrication guidelines outlined in this manual). 1. Do not remove the PRO190LM from the sealed bag until it is ready for use.
Mechanical Specifications and Installation Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation W A R N I N G : PRO190LM installation must be in accordance to instructions provided by this manual and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury or damage to the equipment.

W A R N I N G : Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the PRO190LM. Unsecured moving parts may shift and cause bodily injury. W A R N I N G : Do not attempt to manually move the PRO190LM if it is connected to a power source.
N O T E : If your PRO190LM 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 PRO190LM is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
PRO190LM Hardware Manual 2.4.1. Speed Capability To help ensure safety and prevent damage to the system, speed limitations are required for the PRO190LM. Achievable speeds are application-dependent and determined by factors such as travel length, payload, amplifier sizing and duty cycle. The Motor Sizer application supplied by Aerotech at https://www.aerotech.com/resources/motor-sizer.aspx can be used to estimate allowable speeds and...
Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the PRO190LM is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the PRO190LM to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components usually indicate the appropriate connections.
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. N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required.
