5. Use a three-person lift to move the stacked stage.
Postion one person at each end of base stage grasping the bottom of the
stage near the ends. The third person will grasp the cantilevered end or
top stage by the stage base only and apply only enough lift to balance
the equipment.
The bottom stage should bare most of the weight and the top used for
balance only. Do not lift by the cover, side covers, or put pressure on the
strip seals.
Additional Resource
Refer to the MP-Series Integrated Multi-Axis Linear Stages Users Manual,
publication MPMA-UM001, for additional information on handling stacked
stages. You can view or download publications at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com. To order paper copies of technical
documentation, contact your local Rockwell Automation distributor or sales
representative.
ATTENTION Never use lifting straps to move the stacked stage. Using lifting
straps will deform covers and strip seals. Always use a three-person
lift to move the stacked stage.
ATTENTION Do not remove stage shipping brackets until stacked stage is fully
installed. Removing stage shipping brackets will allow the carriages
to move unexpectedly which could cause personal injury and damage
to the equipment.
