Product Overview
3.1 Product Introduction
S38 Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform has the following advantages:
-
High performance piezo stack:
S38 Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform is driven by a highly reliable ceramic actuator with a fully insulated structure, so its performance and service life are far better than the traditional actuator. The insulating layer can effectively prevent the piezoelectric ceramic from being damaged when exposed to moisture. Therefore, the stability of piezoelectric ceramics can be guaranteed under extreme circumstances. Compared with traditional driving mechanism, there are no transmission parts and friction. Therefore, ceramic actuator has the characteristics of no rebound, no maintenance, and no wear, etc. -
Flexible hinge structure:
S38 Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform adopting flexible hinge mechanism has advantages of no friction, high positioning accuracy. Flexible hinge is an element not affected by static and dynamic friction, based on the elastic deformation of metal material (e.g., steel) , there is no rolling and sliding parts. Flexible unit has very high load capacity and stiffness. Hinge guide needs no maintenance and no wear and tear. Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, no lubricating oil is required. -
Strain sensor
Strain sensor detects the position information by its own expansion. They are fixed in the proper position of the transmission part and measure the displacement of the moving part. This type of position measurement is made by contact and indirect measurement. So the displacement of the moving platform is measured by measuring lever, guide hinge, or piezoelectric ceramic stack.
S38 piezo tip tilt platform is a θx, θy two-dimensional deflection piezo fast steering mirror.
It is equipped with a lens mounting cap and is small in size and easy to integrate. It can be integrated into a cage structure with a right-angle adapter.
3.2 Product Features
- θx, θy tilt
- Tilt stroke up to 2.4mrad
- Optional closed loop sensor
- Optional right-angle adapter structure
3.3 Principle
The piezo control principle is as follows:
Piezo tilt stage(two-axis motion) is based on parallel kinematic design with coplanar axis and moving platform. Four piezo actuators are placed at a 90° angle interval, paired differential control distribution. Two pairs of differentially driven actuators provide the highest achievable angular stability over a wide temperature range. Its tilt motion is achieved by two pairs of piezo actuators in a push-pull motion, controlled by a bridge connection circuit.
The deflection angle can be calculated as follows
The tilt angle in θx:
Dynamic characteristics of S38 Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform:
Operating frequency of S38 depends on its resonant frequency. In order to
estimate its resonant frequency after loading mirror (moving surface and
mirror), the moment of
inertia of mirror must be taken into account. The moment of inertia of mirror
is calculated as follows: the moment of inertia of a cylindrical mirror:
3.4 Motion Direction
S38 connection mark and motion direction are as follows:
| Model | Motion direction | Description | Connection Mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| XD500 | AXIS1 | Drive cable | CH1 |
| Sensor cable | 1 | ||
| AXIS2 | Drive cable | CH2 | |
| Sensor cable | 2 | ||
| Constant voltage | Drive cable | CH3 |
Operating environment
- Operating temperature: -20~80℃
- Environment free of dust, clean, and non-corrosive substances
- Relative humidity: <60%
- Recommended voltage between 0 and 120V for long-term and high-reliability operation
Installation and operation
Before installation, first check the safety, such as whether the cable is
damaged or broken, and whether the power supply has grounding protection.
5.1 Installation and connection
S38 installation diagram is as follows:
- Before attach the mirror, please clean the mirror and motion surface. After the mirror is glued, please wait for a period of time until adhesive solidify.
- You need to use M2 screws to mount the S38, and you also can adopt a adapter, and we have many adapters for your choice, as shown below. And before mount, please clean the mounting surface and adapter.
- Mount S38 on the mounting surface directly or by a adapter. Please contact us, if you don’t mount it with stand, such as lean or lateral mounting.
The wiring mode of LEMO connector is shown as below:
Mounting notes:
-
Do not knock the moving part of the product to prevent flexure hinge deformation affecting the movement accuracy, or even damage the product.
-
Do not drop the mirror adhesive into the gap at the moving end, and do not have other objects to hinder the movement, so as not to affect the accuracy or damage the
equipment. -
Please select appropriate screw for the mounting connection, to prevent the mounting is not firm and mirror falls off, causing permanent damage.
-
Please pay attention to standard operation during the whole mounting and operation process. Users should carry out relevant operation under the guidance of professionals.
5.2 Load
When installing the load, ensure that the load mass is less than the max load
of S38, and install the load as much as possible at the center of the moving
surface.
The correct placement of the load is shown below:
For protection, we don’t recommend the load is too high. If it is used a higher load, please reduce the position center of the load gravity. The error placement method is as follows:
It is forbidden to load the load on one side of the piezo stage, which would cause serious damage to the product, as shown in the following figure:
Notice:
- When mounting the load, tighten the load slowly. The torque should not be too large to prevent damage to the mechanism.
- Avoid stretching and bending cables.
- Use the dedicated cable provided by CoreMorrow to connect S38 and the controller.
- Do not connect via an extension cable casually, if you need a longer cable, please contact CoreMorrow.
5.3 Operating
Please reconfirm the following information before turning on the power:
- S38 has been grounded protection
- Operating environment meets the operating requirements of S38
- Fixed screws must be tightened
After the above information is confirmed, relevant controller operations can be carried out:
- Please read the user manual of the controller carefully before operation, and then start the controller.
- Set the controller’ output voltage to zero first.
- Check no abnormal phenomenon, then input voltage value (via keyboard or analog control) according to specified input voltage range.
- Operating normally within the rated voltage range of piezo products.
- After use, please carry out voltage reset operation.
Please take light steps when S38 in operation, do not knock the product, so as
not to affect the use of the product or even damage the product.
In order to achieve better motion precision of S38, it is recommended to use
our company’s supporting controller. Please refer to the user manual of the
controller for the specific operation to ensure correct operation before
relevant operation.
Notice:
- Do not remove the grounding protection during the operation. If you need to remove it temporarily, please reconnect the grounding protection before starting it again.
- The driving voltage shall not exceed the voltage range of S38.
- If any abnormal noise or oscillation occurs during use, turn off the power immediately and check the parameter setting.
