    (during normal operation, for example). when the system is moved manually (during the installation process or when you do maintenance, for example). Motors are capable of very high speeds and acceleration rates. Figure 1: Typical Pinch Point Locations www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 12: Magnetic Hazards

    Loose items such as metallic tools, watches, or keys could get drawn into and dam- age the magnet track assembly. IMPORTANT: Use non-magnetic tools when you install or do service to the stage. Figure 2: Exposed Magnet Locations www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 13: Handling And Storage

    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. www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 14 Store the stage in the original shipping container. If the original packaging included ESD protective packaging, make sure to store the stage in it.

  • Page 16: Environmental Specifications

    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 17: Basic Specifications

    6. -PL2 performance requires the use of an Aerotech controller. 7. 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...
  • Page 18: Vacuum Operation

    6. To reduce outgassing during the initial pump-down to vacuum pressure, Aerotech recommends that you bake out vacuum systems when you first install them into the vacuum chamber. Bake the vacuum components at 60 °C for 24 to 48 hours to desorb water vapor from surfaces and...
