To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or excessive moisture, heat
,
or dust.
If the unit has been stored at a low temperature or in an environment of high humidity, it must be allowed to reach ambient
conditions before being powered up.
The unit must not be used in an explosive environment.
4.3 Mounting
4.3.1
General
The LNR502 series stages are mounted to the work surface as shown
in
Fig.
4.1
using a base plate. For additional
versatility, an angle
bracket is available for use in vertical mounting configurations - see Section 4.3.4. When mounting the
stage close to other
equipment, ensure that the travel of the moving platform is not obstructed. If equipment mounted on
the moving platform is
driven against a solid object, damage to the internal mechanism could occur.
The range of travel on each axis is 50 mm total, that is
25 mm about the nominal position.
The stage is shipped with the drives configured for right handed use, however they can be repositioned for applications where
left handed use is more convenient - see Section 4.5. for more details.
Caution
Once removed from its packaging, the stage is easily damaged by mishandling.
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.
Note
Retain the packing in which the unit was shipped
for use in future transportation.
Warning
Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely affect operator safety.
Caution
When mounting components, or fitting the stage within an application, do not apply excessive pressure to the moving
platform as this may damage the bearing mechanism.
Note
The LNR series stages can quickly be assembled into XY, XZ, YZ
,
and XYZ configurations - see Section 3.3.3. and Section
3.3.4. The brackets and plates are supplied complete with dowels, which ensure an accurate, orthogonal assembly.
