Safety Guide

P76 piezo objective scanner is designed with advanced technology and safety standards, for safety and proper use of the product, please pay attention to following points when using:

  Temperature changed and pressure will charge the piezo objective scanner. It will remain charged for a period of time disconnected from the controller, so the operator should pay attention when using it:

•  Do not disassemble P76 piezo objective scanner.
• Discharge P76 piezo objective scanner 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:

• P76 piezo objective scanner 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 objective scanner and piezo controller.
• Please do not use cable extension wire, if need longer cable, please contact us.

Product Overview

Product Introduction

P76 Piezo objective scanner has the following advantages:

• High performance piezo stack:
  P76 is driven by high-performance piezo stack. It is fully insulated, so its performance and service life are far superior to conventional actuator. Insulating layer  can effectively prevent piezo stack from being damaged by moisture. Stability of piezo stack could be ensured under extreme conditions. It has the characteristics of no rebound, no wear.

• Flexible hinge structure:
  P76 adopts flexible hinge mechanism, which has advantages of no friction and high positioning accuracy. Flexible hinge is based on the elastic deformation of solid and has no rolling and sliding parts. With high stiffness and load capacity, the hinge guides are maintenance-free and wear-free.

• SGS sensor:
  SGS sensors detect position information by their own expansion. They are fixed at 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.
  Therefore the displacement of piezo scanner is measured by measuring levers, guide hinges or piezo stacks.
  P76 piezo objective scanner is small-size, high-precision positioner with Z-axis linear motion range of up to 100μm. It adopts flexible hinge design, which has high friction-free, yaw-free, closed-loop control positioning accuracy. Separate screw adapter design, can be adapted to a variety of microscopes.

Features

• SGS sensor, more accuracy.
• Good focusing stability.
• Various adapter models are available

Motion direction

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

Installation and connection

Before installation, first check the safety, such as whether the cable is damaged or broken, and whether the power supply has grounding protection.

Installation steps of P76, as follows:

1. Screw the corresponding objective lens into the P76 objective scanner and tighten;
2. Screw the lens into the adapter and tighten;
3. Fix the installed piezo objective scanner and microscope connection section.
   

Note

• During the installation process, please pay attention to handle, so as not to damage the P76 piezo objective scanner or scratch and wear it.
• When connecting P76, it is required that the weight of the objective lens does not exceed the maximum allowable load of P76.
• Connect the cable to the corresponding interface of the controller according to the identification on the connector.

The connection method of the LEMO connector is shown in the following figure

Loading

Connect the load according to the placement method described below, as shown in the figure below:


When connecting the objective lens, pay attention that the quality of the objective lens does not exceed the maximum allowable load of P76, and the load is not too long, otherwise it is easy to cause oscillation and damage P76

Operating

Please confirm the following information before starting the power supply:

• The environment meets requirements of P76 working environment;
• The fixing screws must be tightened;

The above information is determined to perform controller related operations:

1. Please carefully read piezo controller user manual before operating, then start the controller;
2. Set the piezo controller to zero;
3. After checking for no abnormalities, input voltage values according to requirements (keyboard or analog control);
4. It could work normally within the rated voltage range of piezo ceramic (0~120V, max not exceeding 150V);
5. Please set the piezo controller to zero after used.
   Please do not touch the product during the operation, avoid affecting the piezo scanner performance or even damage the piezo scanner. 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.
