Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level Altitude Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below sea level. Use the system in a low vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration Vibration can affect system performance.
ATS150 Hardware Manual 1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the ATS150. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the ATS150 specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.
Overview 1.3. Basic Specifications N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time.

Overview ATS150 Hardware Manual 1.4. Vacuum Operation If you order the -HV option, Aerotech specially prepares the ATS150 for operation in high vacuum environments (up to 10 torr). This preparation involves special precautions during cleaning, assembly, and packaging to ensure optimal performance in vacuum applications.
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.

ATS150 series stages have a fixed mounting pattern. To secure the stage to a mounting surface, manually move the stage table so that the access holes on the stage table are aligned with any two of the mounting...
3 and the documentation delivered with the stage. N O T E : If your ATS150 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 ATS150 is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.

W A R N I N G : Electrical installation must be performed by properly qualified personnel. Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the ATS150 is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the ATS150 to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. 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.
