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. The severity of temperature effects
on all specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, which include how the
stage is mounted. Contact the factory for more details.
The accuracy specification of stage is measured 25 mm above the table with the stage in an
unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or
exceeding the specification in
16
Operating: 10° to 35° C (50° to 95° F)
The optimal operating temperature is 20° C ±2° C (68° F ±4° F). If at any time the
operating temperature deviates from 20° C degradation in performance could
occur.
Storage: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) in original shipping packaging
Operating: 20% to 60% RH
Storage: 10% to 70% RH, non-condensing in original packaging.
The stage should be packaged with desiccant if it is to be stored for an extended
time.
Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level
Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below
sea level.
Use the system in a low vibration environment. Floor or acoustical vibration can
affect system performance. Contact Aerotech for information regarding your
specific application.
These stages are not suited for dusty or wet environments. This equates to an
ingress protection rating of IP30.
Indoor use only
