2.3. Securing the Hexapod to the Mounting Surface
WARNING : It is the responsibility of the customer to safely and carefully move and
mount the hexapod. If you are not careful, you could adversely affect the performance
of the HEX300-230HL.
The mounting surface must be flat and have adequate stiffness to achieve the maximum
performance from the HEX300-230HL stage. When it is mounted to a non-flat surface, the stage can
get distorted while the mounting screws are tightened. This distortion will decrease overall accuracy.
Adjustments to the mounting surface must be done before the stage is secured.
Inspect the mounting surface for dirt or unwanted residue and clean if necessary. Use precision
flatstones on the mounting surface to remove any burrs or high spots. Clean the mounting surface
with a lint-free cloth and acetone or isopropyl alcohol and allow the cleaning solvent to completely
dry. Gently place the stage on the mounting surface.
WARNING : The HEX300-230HL is precision machined and verified for flatness at the
factory.
l
Do not machine the HEX300-230HL housing. If you must machine a surface to
achieve a required flatness, machine the mounting surface.
l
Keep the use of shims to a minimum when you mount the HEX300-230HL to the
mounting surface. The use of shims could reduce the rigidity of the system.
IMPORTANT : To maintain accuracy, the mounting surface must be flat to within 10 µm
per 100 mm.
Three M6 or 1/4-20 mounting screws are required to mount the hexapod to the mounting surface.
