  • Page 11: Motor-Related Warnings

    Hardware Manual APR260DR 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

    APR260DR 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.
  • Page 13: Handling And Storage

    Ensure that the antistatic material is not damaged during unpacking. DANGER: Lifting Hazard! Use care when you move the APR260DR 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.
  • Page 14 Shipping Brackets If the APR260DR 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.

  • Page 16: 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 17: Basic Specifications

    (3) Maximum speed listed is stage and motor dependent (and assumes a 340 V bus). The actual speed could be lower due to motor back emf or encoder bandwidth. Consult an Aerotech Applications Engineer for more details. (4) Mass listed is for the standard stage option (no brake and no tabletop). Consult Aerotech for brake and tabletop masses. www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 18: Vacuum Operation

    6. To reduce outgassing during the initial pump-down to vacuum pressure, Aerotech recommends that you bake out vacuum systems when you first install them into the vacuum chamber. Bake the vacuum components at 60 °C for 24 to 48 hours to desorb water vapor from surfaces and...
  • Page 19: Chapter 2: Installation

    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 Figure 2-1: APR260DR Dimensions www.aerotech.com...
  • Page 20: Securing The Stage To The Mounting Surface

    Flatness Requirement All Frame Sizes 5 µm APR260DR series stages have a fixed mounting pattern available to secure the stage to a mounting surface. Figure 2-2 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.

  • Page 22: Attaching The Payload Or Fixturing To The Stage

    If you start the APR260DR 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 APR260DR 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.
  • Page 26: Motor And Feedback Connectors

    IMPORTANT: If you are using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required. The protective ground connection of the APR260DR provides motor frame ground protection only. Additional grounding and safety precautions are required for applications requiring access to the stage while it is energized.

  • Page 40: Cleaning And Lubrication

    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 APR260DR. WARNING: General Hazard Warning! Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before you move the stage.
  • Page 41: Travel Adjustment

    Hardware Manual APR260DR 4.3. Travel Adjustment DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard! Before you do maintenance to the equipment, disconnect the electrical power. WARNING: Mechanical Hazard! Do not adjust the optical limits to an angle greater than the hard stop travel. Doing so could result in damage to the stage and payload and the possibility of injury.

  • Page 43: Mechanical Hard Stop Adjustments

    Stages equipped with the hard stop option (-HS) have the hard stops set at the factory prior to shipment. Although the hard stops are adjustable, contact Aerotech before you change their position because the optical limits could need to be updated. If you change the hard stop position but do not update the optical limits, the stage travel could hit a hard stop and cause damage the stage or payload.
