SKE metrology systems are normally installed by factory-trained technicians who also provide operator training. The following information covers basic hardware installation if an installer is not available. Refer to “On-Site Installation, Calibration and Training” later in this section for more information on SKE installation and calibration services.
5.1 Planning the Placement of the System
AVX systems are normally placed directly on a concrete floor in a work area. Following are recommendations for planning the placement of the AVX system: • Allow enough clearance around the system. Allow at least 200 millimeters (8 inches) to the rear for access, and 600 millimeters (24 inches) or more to the sides. The width required for maximum Y-axis stage travel is 400 millimeters (16 inches). Consider the longest parts to be measured or inspected, since large parts may overhang beyond right or left sides of the stage. Also allow room for the staging of incoming and outgoing parts. • Ensure you have allocated enough space for the optional workstation. Refer to “Workstation Specifications” for more information. • Ensure a clean operating environment to minimize the accumulation of dirt on the optics and on precision mechanical parts, such as lead screws and encoder scales. • Ensure the planned installation location has the proper electrical requirements. Refer to “Electrical Specifications” earlier in this document for detailed information. • Select an installation location where the temperature can be controlled to within 20°C ± 0.5°C (68°F ± 2°F), which is the calibration temperature of the system. Refer to “Operating Environment” earlier in this document.
5.2 Uncrating and Moving the AVX System
