ADRS Hardware Manual Mechanical Specifications and Installation
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : ADRS 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
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift the stage.
l
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the ADRS. Unsecured moving
parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
l
Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the ADRS. Use care when
moving the ADRS.
l
Lift only by the base. Do not use the tabletop or cables as lifting points.
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
Carefully remove the ADRS from its protective shipping container. Gently set the ADRS on a smooth, flat,
and clean surface.
Before operating the ADRS, 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 ADRS 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 Clamps
If the ADRS has shipped as part of a system, shipping clamps (typically red, anodized aluminum) may 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.
