Installation AGR Series Stage Hardware Manual
2.5. Attaching the Payload to the Stage
To prevent damage to payloads, test the operation of the stage before the payload is attached to the stage
table. Proceed with the electrical installation and test the motion control system in accordance with the
system documentation. Document all results for future reference. For information on electrical connections,
refer to Section 3.4. and the documentation delivered with the stage.
The payload must be flat, rigid, and comparable to the stage in quality.
2.6. Electrical Installation
W A R N I N G: Electrical installation must be performed by properly qualified personnel.
Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the AGR is
part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting a stage and motor
combination to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Connect the provided cables to the
feedback and motor connectors on the stage body. Labels on the system components usually indicate the
appropriate connections.
Refer to the appropriate system manuals and documentation included on the CD-ROMfor additional
installation and operation information. If the system is uniquely configured, a drawing showing system
interconnects is supplied.
W A R N I N G: Applications requiring access to the stage while it is energized will require
additional grounding and safeguards. The System Integrator or qualified installer is responsible
for determining and meeting all safety and compliance requirements necessary for the
integration of this stage into the final application.
D A N G E R : Remove power before connecting or disconnecting electrical components or
cables. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
W A R N I N G: Operator access to the base and table top must be restricted while connected
to a power source. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
N O T E : Refer to the controller documentation to adjust servo gains for optimum velocity and position
stability.
