titleShipping clamps and other External Devices

Before starting up your system and attempting to move, you should ensure that all external devices are safe from collision.

You should also ensure that all shipping clamps have been removed from the system. Aerotech uses Red aluminum brackets for our shipping clamps.

Any system that uses direct-drive motors should be able to move freely by hand with very little effort. Direct-drive motors are motors that do not use mechanics (ex. ballscrews, worm gears, etc.) to move the system.

Solution:

  • Ensure all external devices are free from collision with the systems range of travel.
  • Ensure all shipping clamps have been removed.

If you are unsure if you motor uses direct drive motors do not attempt to force movement by hand without consulting Aerotech. Doing so could cause further damage.
