3 Mounting Procedure

3.1 With Encoders on the Struts

  1. Fix the bottom plate with the cylindrical tool
  2. Put the top plate on the granite
  3. Put the cylindrical tool and bottom plate on top of the top plate (Figure 10). This position the bottom plate with respect to the top plate in X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry
  4. Put the pin to position/fix the Rz. Now the two plates should be position and clamped together
  5. Fix the 6 struts
  6. Remove the pin and the tool
  7. Put the nano-hexapod in place
