1.1
Unpacking the TT2
Before unpacking the TT2, read this entire operation manual, paying special attention to
the following section on
“Handling the
TT2
”
. Check the contents of the package against
the shipping list and notify PIEZOCONCEPT immediately if any items are missing.
1.2
Handling the TT2.
The TT2 is a high precision scientific instrument and therefore requires special handling
in order to ensure proper operation. Mishandling can cause permanent damage. To
insure a long and useful life the following guidelines should be strictly followed.
•
Never insert anything into the EDM grooves
. The EDM grooves are the cuts
that form the flexure hinges and separate the moving portion of the stage from the
stage frame. Severe damage may result if objects are inserted into these grooves.
•
Do not move the rotational stage by pushing on it with your hands or any other
object.
•
Avoid applying a torque between the moving stage and the frame.
•
Do not drop, treat roughly, or physically shock the rotational stage.
•
Do not lift by the cable.
•
The surface to which the TT2 is mounted to should be flat and clean. Likewise,
the bottom of the TT2 should be free of particles and dust before mounting.
•
Do not immerse in any liquid. If the TT2 requires cleaning slightly dampen a lint
free cloth with iso-propanol or ethanol and lightly wipe the surface. Do not get any
liquid or lint into the EDM grooves.
•
Never disassemble the nanopositioning stage, there are no serviceable parts
inside.
