Safety Guide

P13A piezo stage is designed with the most advanced technology and safety standards for your own safety and the correct use of the product, please observe the following points when in use.

A change in temperature and pressure will charge the piezoelectric actuator, and the actuator will remain charged for a period of time when it is disconnected from the controller, so the operator should pay attention to when in use.

  • Do not disassemble P13A piezo stage without authorization.
  • Discharge P13A piezo stage before mounting, which can be done by connecting to the controller.
  • Do not unplug the wire connecting with controller during operation.
  • Before use, check whether the connection wire of the product is in good condition and whether the product and the controller are effectively grounded. During operation, strictly standardize the operation. Do not touch the product (up to 150V voltage) with your hand when power on, in case of danger

In order to prevent damage to the product caused by improper operation, the following points should be paid attention to the following points when in use.

  • P13A piezo stage should be used in a dust-free, oil-free and lubricant-free environment.
  • As the product is designed with flexible structure, it is recommended that the load should not exceed load capacity of product. When loading, DO NOT apply torque force and DO NOT pry or twist the load surface, so as not to damage the structure.
  • Recommended voltage range is 0~60V for long-term use and lifetime.
  • Do not disassemble the product to avoid damage.
  • Avoid stretching and bending the cable interface to prevent damage to the cable.

Product Overview

Product Introduction

P13A piezo stage has the following advantages:

High performance piezo stack:

P13A piezo stage 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 mechanisms, 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:

P13A piezo stage adopting a flexible hinge mechanism has the advantages of no friction and high positioning accuracy. A 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. The flexible unit has very high load capacity and stiffness. The hinge guide needs no maintenance and no wear and tear. Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, no lubricating oil is required.
The stroke of P13A piezo stage can reach 90μm/axis, which can realize XY- dimensional motion at the same time. Adopting a flexure hinge mechanism ensures that the two-dimensional motion of the XY has no coupling, and has the advantages of no mechanical friction, fast response, high repeatability and positioning accuracy and so on.

Product Features

  • Small size, large displacement.
  • Suitable for low temperature and high intensity magnetic environment.
  • Mainly used in static positioning and low frequency application.

Motion direction

Operating environment

  • A clean, dustfree and non-corrosive environment
  • Operating temperature : -269~80℃
  • Relative humidity: <60%
  • Recommended voltage range is 0~60V for long-term use and lifetime

Installation and operation

Safety check should be carried out before installation, such as whether the connection wire is damaged or broken, whether the drive power supply is grounded, etc.

Installation and Precautions

  1. Make sure the mounting surface is flat.
  2. Use M2.5 screws to mount the P13A and tighten.
  3. Mount a load and tighten it properly to achieve high positioning accuracy.
  4. Connect P13A’s connector to the corresponding interface of the controller according to the identification on the leads.

Load

When mounting the load, ensure that the load quality is less than the maximum load capacity of P13A, and try to mount the load in the center of the moving surface. The correct position to mount the load is shown below

For the protection of the product, we do not recommend that the load is too high. If a higher load must be used, please appropriately low the position of the center of gravity of the load.

The wrong mounting way is shown in the figure below

It is forbidden to mount the load on one side of the moving platform, which will cause serious damage to the product, as shown in the figure below

Too long screws selected in the fastening and connection process will lead to failure of mounting or part of bolts will be exposed, which will scratch the product and affect the motion accuracy of the product. If the bolt is too short, the connection will be weak, and it is easy to be loosened. Loosening during operation will damage the internal structure of the product.

We recommend using the connection method shown in the figure below

Please do not connect in this way 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 P13A piezo stage and the controller.
  • Do not connect via an extension cable casually, if you need a longer cable, please contact CoreMorrow

Operating

Please reconfirm the following information before turning on the power:

  • The operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of P13A.
  • Fixed screws must be tightened.
  • Fixed screws must be tightened.

After the above information is confirmed, relevant controller operations can be carried out:

  1. Please read the user manual of the controller carefully before operation, and then start the controller.
  2. Set the controller’ output voltage to zero first.
  3. Check no abnormal phenomenon, then input voltage value (via keyboard or analog control) according to specified input voltage range.
  4. Operating normally within the rated voltage range of piezoelectric ceramics (0~60V).
  5. After use, please carry out voltage reset operation.

Please take light steps when P13A in operation, do not knock the product, so as not to affect the use of the product or even damage the product.
The resolution of the product itself is unlimited, and the resolution depends on the performance of the controller. In order to achieve better motion precision of P13A, 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.

Notes:

  • 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 P13A.
  • If any abnormal noise or oscillation occurs during use, turn off the power immediately and check the parameter setting
