    Once air is supplied, material of the appropriate size can be placed in the collet. All collets supplied by Aerotech are clearly labeled with their clamping size range and collet style. Be sure to use only the correct size material in the collet. If an incorrect material size is clamped, the accuracy of the collet could be compromised.
  • Page 25: Changing The Workholding Devices

    Section 2.5.1. ACS series stages are equipped with an ER style collet or a three-jaw gripper chuck. It may be necessary to change the style of collet or gripper. It is important that only collets designed for a particular collet holder are used.

    Step 2: Apply air pressure to loosen the collet chuck. Step 3: Remove the collet nut by turning it counterclockwise. If necessary, use a spanner wrench (available from Aerotech). Use caution when removing the collet nut as the collet may fall from its housing and be damaged.
  • Page 28 Mechanical Specifications and Installation ACS Hardware Manual Step 5: Referring to Figure 2-9, remove every other collet cover screw. DO NOT remove all of the screws at once as the cap is under tension from several springs and will be damaged or cause bodily harm if removed without caution.

  • Page 46: Stage Cleaning And Lubrication

    4.2. Stage Cleaning and Lubrication Cleaning Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the ACS, blow away small particles and dust with nitrogen or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air. Any external metal surface of the ACS can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
  • Page 47: Collet And Collet Chuck Lubrication And Cleaning

    If the wear marks are large, or excessive polishing is required to remove these marks, the collet chuck and collet may need to be replaced. Contact Aerotech Technical Support for more information. Wear and fretting can be prevented with proper lubrication and maintenance intervals.
  • Page 48: Seal Replacement

    Step 3: Remove the collet nut by turning it counterclockwise. Spanner wrenches may be necessary for removal and are available from Aerotech. Step 4: Remove air pressure from the stage. This will allow the internal springs to relax slightly and ease further disassembly.
  • Page 49 ACS Hardware Manual Maintenance D A N G E R : The collet cover is under tension from internal springs. Removing the collet cover screws incorrectly can result in personal harm and damage to the equipment. Step 5: Refer to Figure 4-1.
