    1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects The accuracy specification of ECO225SL series stages is measured 25 mm above the table with the stage in an unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or exceeding the specification in Section 2.3.
  • Page 16: Basic Specifications

    6. 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. 7. Specifications listed are non-foldback kit options. Contact the factory for specifications when a foldback kit (-FBx) is used.

    Teflon cables. Aerotech recommends that customers bake out vacuum systems when first installing them in the vacuum chamber. Contact Aerotech to discuss your application and the recommended bakeout procedure.
  • Page 19: Chapter 2: Installation

    Before you operate the stage, let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours. This will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when they were tested at Aerotech. Each stage  has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain information necessary for maintenance or system hardware and software updates.
  • Page 20: Figure 2-1: Lifting Features

    (see Figure 2-1). If the stage is part of a multi-axis system, the lifting hardware should be attached to the lower axis. The lifting hardware must be removed before the stage can be operated. Figure 2-1: Lifting Features www.aerotech.com...
