Notes:
1. When mounting the ABL8000 in an XY configuration, the maximum upper axis length is 400 mm.
2. Maximum speed based on stage capability; maximum application velocity may be limited by system data rate and system resolution.
3. Maximum load based on bearing capability; maximum application load may be limited by acceleration requirements.
4. Thermal limitations of positioning stage with respect to performance may limit continuous force output.
5. Force may be limited by amplifier output.
6. Available with Aerotech controllers.
7. Requires environmental compensation.
8. To protect air bearing against under-pressure, an in-line pressure switch tied to the motion controller/amplifier E-stop input is recommended.
9. Air supply must be clean, dry to 0° F dewpoint and filtered to 0.25 µm or better; recommend nitrogen at 99.9% purity.
10. Specifications are for single-axis systems, measured 50 mm above the tabletop. Performance of multi-axis systems is payload and workpoint dependent. Consult factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications.
