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.
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before attempting to
move the stage.
W A R N I N G : Acetone should never be used to clean the o-rings or seals.
Lubrication (Bearings)
The bearings should not require relubrication under normal operating conditions in a clean environment. If the
application process uses only a small portion of travel for most of the duty cycle, periodically drive the stage
through full travel to redistribute the lubrication.
