    (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 13: 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 14: Handling And Storage

    Carefully remove the stage from its protective shipping container. Gently set the stage on a smooth, flat, and clean surface. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-free air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping. www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 15 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 18: 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 19: Basic Specifications

    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. 7. The air supply for the pneumatic counterbalance must be clean, dry to 0°F dewpoint, and filtered to 0.25 µm or better.
  • Page 20: Air Requirements

    If compressed air is used, it must be filtered to 0.25 microns, dry to 0º F dew point, and oil free. The maximum allowable input pressure specification is 0.6 MPa (87 psi). The low friction air cylinder consumes air as described in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2: Counterbalance Air Flow vs. Counterbalance Pressure Figure 1-3: Air Inlet Location www.aerotech.com...
