Maintenance ABL1000 Hardware Manual
4.2.1. Cleaning Process
To clean all of the air bearing surfaces and encoder scales, it is necessary to move the stage.
D A N G E R : Strong rare-earth magnets are present in the linear motor magnet track. Loose
metal objects (tools, watches, keys, etc.) may cause personal injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
W A R N I N G : Do not attempt to move the carriage of the ABL1000 until the air supply, detailed
in
Section 1.4. , has been installed. Moving the stage table without air supplied can cause
permanent damage to the stage.
1. Blow off the stage with clean, dry, compressed air, and remove any visible debris on the outside of the
stage. Move the stage to one end of travel and remove power.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
2. Clean all of the surfaces that you can access. Make sure to use the correct solvent on each surface
(refer to Section 4.2. ). When the surface is fully dry, move the stage by hand to the opposite end of
travel.
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before attempting to
move the stage. Even the slightest amount of solvent could cause damage to the air bearing
surfaces, clog the air ducts, or damage the electronics of the stage.
3. This should expose all previously covered surfaces. Repeat the cleaning process. Restore power to
the stage after all solvents are fully dry.
