To find the newest information about this product, refer to www.aerotech.com. If you do not understand the information in this manual, contact Aerotech Global Technical Support. IMPORTANT: This product has been designed for light industrial manufacturing or laboratory environments.
Make sure that the product is securely mounted before you operate it. Make sure that all pneumatic lines are securely connected. Use care when you move the ADRS or you could negatively affect the performance of WARNING: Trip Hazard! Route, house, and secure all cables, duct work, air, or water lines. Failure to do so could introduce trip hazards around the system that could result in physical injury or could damage the equipment.
It is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to make sure that stages are properly connected and grounded per Engineering Standards and applicable safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to configure the system drive or controller within the Aerotech motor/stage electrical and mechanical specifications. www.aerotech.com...
Hardware Manual ADRS 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.
ADRS Hardware Manual Pinch Points A pinch point is a mechanical hazard that can occur when there are exposed parts of the stage or system that can move. For example, the travel of a stage tabletop could expose the user to a pinch point between the tabletop and the stage housing.
Ensure that the antistatic material is not damaged during unpacking. DANGER: Lifting Hazard! Use care when you move the ADRS or you could negatively affect the performance of it. Use the correct lifting techniques, mechanical assistance, or additional help to lift or move this product.

Shipping Brackets If the ADRS has shipped as part of a system, shipping brackets (typically red, anodized aluminum) might have been installed to secure the system prior to shipment. The shipping clamps, if installed, will need to be removed prior to machine start up.
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 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.
(3) Calibrated accuracy requires the -PL2 option and Aerotech controls. (4) Maximum loads are mutually exclusive. (5) For the ADRS-100, error motion specifications are below 700 rpm. Above 700 rpm the max radial error is 5 microns. Errors measured 25 mm above the tabletop.
ADRS Hardware Manual 1.4. Vacuum Operation Vacuum option preparations are available as special orders. Contact Aerotech for more information. There are two vacuum preparation options: Low Vacuum (for use in atmospheric pressures to 10 Torr) High Vacuum (preparation for environments from 10 to 10 Torr).
Hardware Manual ADRS Chapter 2: Installation The stage installation must be in accordance with the instructions provided by this manual and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury or damage to the equipment. 2.1. Dimensions...
Flatness Requirement All Frame Sizes 5 µm ADRS series stages have a fixed mounting pattern available to secure the stage to a mounting surface. Figure 2-4 shows the main mounting holes in the base of the stage. Tightening torque values for the mounting hardware are dependent on the properties of the surface to which the stage is being mounted.
If you start the ADRS 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.
Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the ADRS is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup should only require that you connect the stage to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components should indicate the appropriate connections.
IMPORTANT: If you are using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required. The protective ground connection of the ADRS provides motor frame ground protection only. Additional grounding and safety precautions are required for applications requiring access to the stage while it is energized.

The ADRS series stages are designed to require minimum maintenance. 4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule Inspect the ADRS at least once per month. The need for a longer or shorter inspection interval will depend on the application and conditions, such as the duty cycle, speed, and environment.
Proper assembly and calibration can only be done at the factory. Contact Aerotech for more information. Cleaning Use isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth to clean any external metal surface of the ADRS. WARNING: General Hazard Warning! Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before you move the stage.
Hardware Manual ADRS 4.3. Rear Seal Change Procedure The seals on ADRS150 and ADRS200 stages could need to be replaced because of excess wear. Figure 4-1 shows an exploded view of the assembly and includes all parts involved in the process.
