Power Requirements
100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1 phase, 500 W

Safe Operating Environment
15-30 °C, non-condensing

Rated Environment
Temperature 18-22 °C, stable to ± 1 °C, max rate of change 1.0 °C / hour, max vertical gradient of 1 °C / meter; 30-80% humidity; vibration <0.001 g below 15 Hz

XY Area Accuracy
E2 = (2.2 + 5L/1000) µm

Z Linear Accuracy
E1 = (3.8 + 5L/1000) μm
E1 = (2.8 + 5L/1000) μm (requires optional E 4.5 lens)
Accuracy is evaluated with an OGP compensation and verification procedure where “L” is measured length in millimeters. Specifications apply within the rated environment. Standard optical specifications apply at the highest magnification of the standard configuration. XY Accuracy applies with an evenly distributed load up to 5 kg in the standard measuring plane. The standard measuring plane is defined as a plane that is within 25 mm of the worktable surface. Depending on load distribution, accuracy at maximum payload may be less than standard. Factory and on-site verification of enhanced Z accuracy specifications are quoted on request.
