    Indoor use only 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 stage. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the stage specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.
  • Page 13: Basic Specifications

    5. -PL2 performance requires the use of an Aerotech controller. 6. To ensure the achievement and repeatability of specifications over an extended period of time, environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25°C per 24 hours. Consult the Aerotech factory for more information. www.aerotech.com...

    Teflon cables. Aerotech recommends that customers bake out vacuum sys- tems when first installing them in the vacuum chamber. Contact Aerotech to discuss your applic- ation and the recommended bakeout procedure.
  • Page 15: 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.
