1.1.1. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C environment. Moderate temperature
changes will affect the accuracy while extreme temperature changes could cause damage to the
machine. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 1°C per hour
to ensure the safety of the hexapod. The severity of temperature effects on all specifications
depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the hexapod is mounted.
