Attaching The Payload To The Stage - Aerotech AMG Series Hardware Manual

AMG

2.3. Attaching the Payload to the Stage

Inspect the mounting surface for dirt or unwanted residue and clean if necessary. Clean the
mounting surface with a lint-free cloth and acetone or isopropyl alcohol and allow the cleaning
solvent to completely dry. Gently place the stage on the mounting surface.
Use a representative payload during start-up to prevent accidental damage to the stage and the
payload. Proceed with the electrical installation and test the motion control system in accordance
with the system documentation. Document all results for future reference. For information on
electrical installation refer to
the stage.
IMPORTANT: If your AMG was purchased with Aerotech controls, it could have been tuned
with a representative payload based on the information provided at the time of order. 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.
The payload must be flat, rigid, and comparable to the stage in quality to maintain optimum
performance.
The standard AMG is capable of accommodating cells up to 600 mm in diameter. Custom solutions
can be designed for non-standard loads.
