7.2.6 Setup M2MS
The M2MS Measurement System is factory aligned. The mounting adapter for the Beam Pro-
filer 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 that are included in the M2MS Accessory Box. To ensure proper mounting, first remove
the rubber feet from the M2MS base plate.
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 powering-up the stage, and it must be re-installed for trans-
portation. Additionally, the DDS100 stage is fixed at its initial position by a solenoid controlled
latch, which is the left stop in the photo (2). This latch fixes the stage when the power supply is
switched off and releases the stage when power is applied.
Removal of the Transportation Lock
1. Remove the 4 screws fixing the top cover using a 0.05" hex key (supplied with the M2MS)
and remove the cover.
2. Remove the M4 screw that fixes the red stopper (1), and remove the stopper using the 3
mm ball driver included with the accessory box. Keep the stopper and the fixing screw in a
safe place.
