General Operating Information
Unpacking
Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your stage. Carefully remove the positioning stage from the shipping crate or box. Inspect the stage and report any evidence of damage to your local Baldor sales office or authorized distributor. Save the shipping container for future transportation.
Handling and General Guidelines
Be sure to observe the following guidelines:
1. Carefully set the positing stage in place. Do not drop a positioning stage onto the mounting surface or machine base as this can result in internal damage to bearing and drive components.
2. Do not drill holes in a positing stage. Contact Baldor if holes must be added.
3. Avoid impact loads such as hammering and punching which may cause internal damage to bearing and drive components.
4. Avoid submersion in liquids of all types.
5. Do not disassemble the positioning stage as this may void the product warranty.
Stage Specifications Disclaimer
Positioning stage specifications are dependant on the three following variables:
Temperature: Specifications are measured at 25 degrees Celsius. Measurements of performance at other temperatures may yield different measurements.
Minimum ambient operating temperature: 5 degrees Celsius. Maximum ambient operating temperature: 75 degrees Celsius. The positioning stage can be modified by Baldor to allow the unit to be operated at temperatures outside of this range. Contact Baldor for more information.
Point of measurement: Specifications are measured 25mm above the slide mounting surface. If measurements are taken from other relative locations, results may be different from the drawing specifications.
Mounting surface: Drawing specifications are measured with the positioning stage supported under its entire length, fastened down (bolted) and is mounted to a machine base that has a maximum flatness error of 0.0005”/ft.
