3.2 Setting up
The M2MS Measurement System is a complete system that is factory aligned. The mounting
adapter for the beam profiler provides a secure and reproducible positioning of the beam
profiler's input aperture to the M2MS. This eases the mechanical setup.
Note
It is strongly recommended to fix the M2MS properly to the optical table using the four rail
clamps, included in the M2MS Accessory Box. Therefor remove the rubber feet from the M2MS
base plate, this ensures the proper mounting.
Transportation Lock and Stop Position Latch
In order to avoid transportation damages to the translation stage, it is locked when delivered.
This lock must be removed prior to power-up the stage, and it must be re-installed for
transportation! Additionally, the DDSM100 stage is fixed at it's initial position - in the photo
below that is the left stop - by a latch that is controlled by a solenoid. This latch fixes the stage
when the power supply is switched off and releases with power-on.
Removal of the Transportation Lock
1. Remove the 4 screws fixing the top cover using a 0.05" hex key (supplied with M2MS)
and remove the cover.
2. Remove the M4 screw that fixes the red stopper, and remove the stopper (3 mm ball
driver included with the accessory box). Keep the stopper and the fixing screw in a safe
place.
