ECO225LM Hardware Manual
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : ECO225LM installation must be in accordance to 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. Unpacking and Handling the Stage
D A N G E R / H E A V Y : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift and move
the ECO225LM.
Lift only by the base.Use lifting hardware if it has been provided (refer to
l
For multi-axis assemblies, always lift the system by the lower axis.
l
Do not use the tabletop or cables as lifting points.
l
Secure all moving parts before lifting or moving the ECO225LM to a new location.
l
Unsecured moving parts could shift and cause bodily injury.
Improper handling could adversely affect the ECO225LM's performance. Use care when
l
lifting or moving the ECO225LM.
Carefully remove the ECO225LM from its protective shipping container. Gently set the ECO225LM on a
smooth, flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the ECO225LM, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are
the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each ECO225LM has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain
information necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and
record the information for later reference.
Shipping Brackets
All ECO225LM series stages are packaged with shipping brackets installed to prevent unwanted stage
motion and potential damage from occurring during shipment. The brackets are red anodized aluminum (the
only red anodized pieces Aerotech uses) that attach to the stage base on either side of the stage carriage.
The rubber pads on the shipping brackets compress slightly to gently hold the carriage in place. Two
shipping brackets are used on single axis and upper axis stages in a multi-axis stack, while four shipping
brackets are used on lower axis stages in multi-axis stacks. They must be removed from the stage for the
stage to operate. Retain the brackets for future use.
