3.2.3 Mounting the Stage to the Work Surface
The DDSM100 stage is mounted to the working surface by two M6 x 25mm (1/4-20 x
1”) screws. The mounting holes are accessed from the top of the stage - see Fig. 3.1.

Caution
The performance of the stage could be affected if the mounting surface is not
flat. Care should be taken when bolting the stage to the worksurface, to ensure
that the base plate does not warp, which could cause stiffness to be
experienced in the bearing rails. Shims should be fitted as necessary.
After mounting the stage to the work surface, if any increased resistance is
experienced when moving the top platform, the likely cause is over tightening/
torquing of the mounting bolts. As a general guide, 70 N.cm is a recommended
nominal torque when tightening the attatchment bolts.
