packing material inside the carton.
3. Lightly tape carton closed and store in dry place.
Stage Storage Store the stage in area that is clean, dry, vibration free, and at a relatively constant
temperature. Refer to Environmental Specifications for CHPS-Series Stage on
page 75 for more detailed information.
Mounting the Stage This section discusses mounting methods for your stage.
Before You Begin the Mechanical Installation
The machine designer is most qualified to determine the number and type of
fasteners to use for mounting the stage. The following information is a guide for
the decision-making process.
Determine the Number of Fasteners Required
The length of the stage determines the number of mounting fasteners that are
required.
Use one of the following equations to calculate the required mounting hardware.

xLMxxx and CHPS-x8xxx-xLMxxx)
