ACS Hardware Manual
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : ACS 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.
2.1. Unpacking and Handling the Stage
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift the stage.
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the ACS. Unsecured moving
l
parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the ACS. Use care when
l
moving the ACS.
Lift only by the base. Do not use the tabletop or cables as lifting points.
l
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
Carefully remove the ACS stage from its protective shipping container. Gently set the ACS stage on a
smooth, flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the ACS stage, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
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-free air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each ACS has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain information
necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and record the
information for later reference.
Shipping Clamps
If the ACS has shipped as part of a system, shipping clamps (typically red, anodized aluminum) may have
been installed to secure the system prior to shipment. The shipping clamps, if installed, will need to be
removed prior to machine start up.
