Mounting the Stage Chapter 4
5. Remove the linear stage from the packaging supports.
• For stages shorter than 1 meter (39.3 in.), use two people and lift the
linear stage by grasping the base near the end caps only.
• For stages 1 meter (39.3 in.) or longer, use support straps at the 1/4
and 3/4 length points to avoid distorting the base. Use this support
system whenever the linear stage must be lifted.
6. Move the linear stage to a solid support surface before removing the
shipping brace.
7. Remove the four socket head cap screws (SHCS) from the shipping brace.
8. Lift the shipping brace off the stage and set it aside.
9. Remove the plastic wrap enclosing the stage and set it aside.
10. Remove the four SHCS that secure the shipping clamp.
ATTENTION: The carriage is free to move once the shipping brace is removed.
Use additional care when handling the linear stage after the brace is removed.
Unexpected carriage movement can cause personal injury.
