5 Installation
20 Version: 3.0.0 MP42E M-126 Precision Microtranslation Stage
Mounting the M-126 onto an underlying surface
1. If necessary: Align the M-126's base body so that the through-holes in the platform (see
fig.) are exactly above the mounting holes in the mounting plate.
Possible measures:
− Starting and operating the M-126 (p. 23) temporarily and commanding the motion
platform to a suitable position
− Moving the platform with the help of the drive screw's rotary knob
2. Align the M-126 on the underlying surface so that the mounting holes in the M-126 and
underlying surface are in line.
3. Tighten the screws in the mounting holes from above completely.
4. Check that the M-126 is sitting firmly on the underlying surface.
5.4 Fixing the Load to the M-126
NOTICE
Impermissibly high load on the positioner!
An impermissible high load impairs the motion of the motion platform and can damage the
positioner.

For mounting type and mass of the load, pay attention to the maximum permissible forces
that are allowed to act on the motion platform according to the specification (p. 33).
