Chapter 2: Installation
W A R N I N G : MPS50SL 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
N O T E :
If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
Carefully remove the MPS50SL from the protective shipping container. Before operating the MPS50SL, it is
important to let the MPS50SL stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Allowing the MPS50SL 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. Set the MPS50SL on a smooth, flat, and clean surface.
Each MPS50SL 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. If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the MPS50SL.
Unsecured moving parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
W A R N I N G : Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the MPS50SL. Use
care when moving the MPS50SL.
W A R N I N G : An unsecured MPS50SL could be dragged off of a mounting surface by its
unsupported cable.
W A R N I N G : Do not use the drive screw or motor as lifting points.
