attention to following points when using:
**** Temperature changed and pressure will charge the piezo stage. Piezo
stage will remain charged for a period of time disconnected from the
controller, so the operator should pay attention when using it:
- Do not disassemble XP-62X piezo stage;
- Discharge XP-62X piezo stage before installation, it could be achieved by connecting to the controller;
- Do not pull out the controller during operation;
- Before using, please check whether the connecting wire of the product is in good condition, whether the product and the controller are effectively protected from grounding, in case of danger, please strictly regulate the operation during operation, do not touch it (up to 150V voltage) after power on.
**** In order to prevent damage to the product caused by improper operation, please pay attention to following points when using:
- XP-62X piezo stage is used as much as possible in dust-free, oil-free, lubricant-free environments;
- Since the product adopts flexible structure design, it is recommended that the load not exceed the bearing capacity of the product. Pay attention to the torque when loading. Do not twist or twist the load surface to avoid damage to the structure;
- Recommended voltage 0~120V for long-term operation to extend lifetime;
- Do not disassemble the product to avoid product damage;
- Avoid stretching and bending the cable interface to prevent damage to the cable;
- Please use the dedicated cable provided by us to connect the piezo stage and piezo controller;
- Please do not use cable extension wire, if need longer cable, please contact us.
Product Overview
3.1 Product Introduction
XP-62X piezo nanopositioning stage has the following advantages:
-
High performance piezo stack:
XP-62X piezo stage is driven by high-performance piezo stack. The piezo stage is fully insulated, so its performance and service life are far superior to those of conventional stage. The insulating layer could effectively prevent the piezo stack from being damaged by moisture. The stability of piezo stack could be ensured under extreme conditions. The piezo stage has the characteristics of no rebound, no wear. -
Flexible hinge structure:
XP-62X adopts flexible hinge mechanism, which has the advantages of no friction and high positioning accuracy. The flexible hinge is a component that is not affected by static and dynamic friction. It is based on the elastic deformation of solid (such as steel) and has no rolling and sliding parts. With high stiffness and load carrying capacity, the hinge guides are maintenance-free and wear-free. Suitable for a wide range of temperatures without the need for lubricants. -
SGS sensor:
SGS sensor detects position information by expanding, they are fixed at appropriate positions in transmission portion, and the displacement is measured.
XP-62X piezo nanopositioning stage adopts frictionless flexible hinge guiding mechanism and has the characteristics of high rigidity, high resolution and fast response time. XY, XYZ versions could be available through adapter.
XP-62X is mainly used in biotechnology, interferometry, quality inspection, optical detection, nanopositioning, microscopy and imaging, image processing and other fields, and has very good development prospects.

Operating environment
- Operating temperature: -20~80℃
- Environment free of dust, clean, and non-corrosive substances
- Relative humidity: <60%
- Recommended voltage between 0~120V 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
- Ensure that the installation plane is flat.
- Secure the piezo stage with M4 screws and tighten.
- Install the load and tighten properly to ensure positioning accuracy.
- Connect the cable to the corresponding interface of the controller according to the connector head.
XP-62X installation
diagram is as follows: 5.2 Load
When installing the load, ensure that the load mass is less than the max load
of XP-62X, and install the load as much as possible at the center of the
moving surface. The correct placement of the load is shown below:Load applied to the center of the stage
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:Try not to let the load center of gravity exceed the stage
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:Do not load longer loads and add to the
side of the piezo stage
If the screws used in tightening and connecting are too long, the screws will
not be installed or some of screws will leak out, which will scratch the stage
and affect the motion
accuracy. If the screws are too short, the connection will not be compact and
easy to loosen. Looseness could damage the internal structure of the stage. We
recommend using the connection method shown below:
Please do not connect as shown below:
Note:
- Slowly tighten the load when installing it, and the torque should not be too large to avoid damage to mechanism.
- Avoid stretching and bending cables.
- Please connect XP-62X piezo nanopositioning stage and controller with special cable provided by CoreMorrow.
- Please do not extend the cable without authorization, please contact us if you need a longer cable.
5.3 Operating
Please confirm the following information before starting the power supply:
- XP-62X piezo nanopositioning stage has been grounded.
- The environment meets requirements of XP-62X working environment.
- The fixing screws must be tightened.
The above information is determined to perform controller related operations:
- Please carefully read piezo controller user manual before operating, then start the controller;
- Set the piezo controller to zero;
- After checking for no abnormalities, input voltage values according to requirements (keyboard or analog control);
- It could work normally within the rated voltage range of piezo ceramic (0~120V, max not exceeding 150V);
- Please set the piezo controller to zero after used.
Please do not touch the product during the operation, avoid affecting the
piezo stage performance or even damage the piezo stage.
The resolution of piezo ceramic is not limited. It depends on the performance
of piezo controller. In order to better achieve the motion accuracy, it is
recommended to use CoreMorrow piezo controller. For the operation of piezo
controller, please refer to piezo controller usual manual.
Note:
- Please do not remove the grounding protection during operation. If it needs to be temporarily removed, reconnect the grounding protection before starting again.
- Drive voltage should not exceed 150V;
- If abnormal noise or oscillation occurs during operating, immediately turn off the power check parameter setting.
