  • Page 11: Motor-Related Warnings

    Hardware Manual Motor-Related Warnings Aerotech motors are capable of producing high forces and velocities. Obey all warnings and all applicable codes and standards when you use or operate a stage or system that incorporates Aerotech motors. DANGER: Mechanical Hazard! Personnel must be made aware of the mechanical hazards during set up or when you do service to the stage.
  • Page 12: Pinch Points

    (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: Handling And Storage

    Use a cart, dolly, or similar device to move the stage to a new location. 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 14: Figure 1-1: Shipping Brackets

    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.

    Indoor use only 1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the gimbal. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the gimbal specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.

  • Page 30: Attaching The Payload To The Stage

    If you start the AMG without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur. Refer to the controller help file for tuning assistance.
  • Page 31: Chapter 3: Electrical Installation

    Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the AMG is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup should only require that you connect the gimbal to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components should indicate the appropriate connections.
