Page 12: Environmental Specifications
The severity of temperature effects on all specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the ABL1500-B is mounted. Contact the factory for more details. The -E1 and -E2 encoder scale in the ABL1500-B stage has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 3.25 x 10 / °C. -
Page 13: Basic Specifications
Consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications. To protect air bearing against under-pressure, an in-line pressure switch tied to the motion controller/amplifier E-Stop is recommended. Maximum upper axis length is 100 mm when mounting the ABL1500-B in an XY configuration. www.aerotech.com Chapter 1... - Page 14 Consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications.
