General Notes on Setting Up a Multi-Axis System
NOTICE
Impermissibly high load on the stages!
In an XY system, the stage for the Y-axis must be moved as well. Impermissibly high loads
interfere with the motion and can damage the stages.
Include the mass of the moved stage in the calculation of the load to be moved.
For all stages in a multi-axis system: Do
not
exceed the maximum permissible load.
