Installation
5.1 Unpacking
Note . Retain the packing in which the unit was shipped, for use in future transportation.
Caution . Once removed from its packaging, the stage is easily damaged by mishandling.
Caution . The stage is shipped with a plate fitted to the side, which locks the carriage during
transit. These plates should be removed before the stage is used. Retain the plates for future
use.
5.2 Assembly
The base of the stage is provided with a number of fixing holes and slots for
attachment to metric or inch optical tables, as supplied by Thorlabs and other
manufacturers. Bolting the unit down minimizes the risk of damage from dropping.
The LNR stage has a basic base and carriage mechanism, incorporating high
precision, high load capacity cross-roller bearings. A spring return mechanism is
incorporated which provides a positive return force of 30N.
When used in isolation, the stage can simply be bolted to the worksurface, to provide
motion in a single axis. If multi axis movement is required, two or more stages can be
bolted together – see Fig. 5.1, in which case spacers must be fitted between the
stages as shown. The vertical mounting bracket can be used in either a right or left
handed configuration to suit a variety of applications.
When mounting the stage close to other equipment, ensure that the travel of the
moving platform is not obstructed. If the moving platform is driven against a solid
object, damage could occur. The range of travel on each axis is 50 mm total, that is
±
25 mm about the nominal position.
