    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...
  • 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

    Carefully remove the stage from its protective shipping container. Lift this product only by the base. For multi-axis assemblies, always lift the system by the lower axis. Use a cart, dolly, or similar device to move the stage to a new location. www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 14 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. Shipping Brackets If the AGR has shipped as part of a system, shipping brackets (typically red, anodized aluminum) might have been installed to secure the system prior to shipment.

  • Page 19: 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. 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 20: Basic Specifications

    (1) Direct encoder repeatability specifications are for systems using the -E1 or -E3 direct encoder options only. (2) Requires the use of an Aerotech controller. Consult factory if using a third-party controller. (3) Maximum speed is load dependent. Contact an Aerotech Application Engineer if imbalanced loads are present. (4) Unloaded acceleration.
