IMPORTANT You are responsible for verifying that the servo control system safely controls
the linear stage with regard to maximum force, acceleration, and speed.
ATTENTION: Moving parts can injure. Before running the stage, make sure all
components are secure.
Check that the linear stage is clear of foreign matter and tools. Objects hit by the
moving stage can cause personnel injury or damage to the equipment.
Incorrect motor, Hall, or encoder wiring can cause uncontrolled motion.
