Product Overview

3.1 Product Introduction
P73 Piezo Objective Scanner has the following advantages:
High performance piezo stack:
P73 Piezo Objective Scanner 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:
P73 Piezo Objective Scanner adopts 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) , ther 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.
P73 Piezo Objective Scanner is a large-loading scanner with Z travel range up to 1000μm. It adopts flexible hinge design with no friction, no yaw and high closed-loop control positioning accuracy.Separate thread adapter design, can be adapted to a variety of types of microscopes, widely used in a wide range of microscopic imaging, two-photon microscope and other fields.
3.2 Product Features

• Strain gauge sensor, high positioning accuracy.
• High focusing stability.
• Multiple adapter models are available.

3.3 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

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.
5.1 Installation and Precautions
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 of P73 Piezo Objective Scanner is shown as following

1. Screw the objective adapter into P73 Piezo Objective Scanner and tighten it;
2. Screw the objective lens into the objective adapter and tighten it;
3. Connecting the installed objective scanner and the microscope and tighten it;

P73 Piezo Objective Scanner Mounting notes:
Be careful to handle P73 Piezo Objective Scanner during installation to avoid damage or scratches and wear of the objective lens.
When connecting the objective lens, the weight of the objective lens shall not exceed the load capacity of P73 Piezo Objective Scanner.
The wiring mode of LEMO connector is shown as below:

5.2 Load
Please refer to the position to mount the load is shown below.
FIG.4 The correct position to mount the load
FIG.5 The error position to mount the load
When connecting the objective lens, it should be noted that the mass of the objective lens should not exceed the load capacity of P73, and the load should not be too long, so as to P73 may be damaged by oscillation.
5.3 Operating
Please reconfirm the following information before turning on the power:
The operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of P73.
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 (0~120V, maximum 150V).
5. After use, please carry out voltage reset operation.

Please take light steps when P73 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 piezo is not limited. It depends on the performance of piezo Controller. In order to achieve better motion precision of P73, 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:

• The driving voltage shall not exceed the voltage range of P73.
• If any abnormal noise or oscillation occurs during use, turn off the power immediately and check the parameter setting.
