Product Overview

Product Introduction
P92 series piezo nanopositioning stage has the following advantages:

High performance piezo stack:
P92 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:
P92 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. P92 piezo stage could travel up to 75μm. It adopts flexible hinge mechanism, with no mechanical friction, fast response speed and repeated positioning accuracy. It could also be customized according to the requeirements, with high flexibility and easy operation to meet different applications. P92 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.

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.

Installation and connection

1. Ensure that the installation plane is flat;
2. Install the load and tighten properly to ensure positioning accuracy;
3. Connect the cable to the corresponding interface of the controller according to the connector head;

Note:

1. Fixed mounting hole（M6 Screw）
2. Load connection hole（M5 Screw）
3. Load connection hole（M4 Screw）
4. Moving part

Load
When installing the load, ensure that the load mass is less than the max load of the P92, 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:

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 P92 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

Operating
Please confirm the following information before starting the power supply:.

• P92 piezo nanopositioning stage has been grounded;
• The environment meets requirements of P92 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 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.

Transportation and inspection

Transportation
Piezo stage is packed in carton. The transportation is carried out under the condition of packaging. This product can be transported by various means of transportation under normal conditions.

Daily maintenance
If the piezo stage is not used for a long time, please store it in an room environment with no dust, good ventilation, clean and non-corrosive substances. Please do not loosen the screws on the stage structure, avoiding to affect the accuracy of the stage

Daily cleaning:
Please disconnect the piezo stage to controller, then clean the surface of it. When cleaning, first wipe a small amount of detergent with a towel and gently wipe the surface of the piezo stage, then wash it with alcohol. Please do not use ultrasonic waves for cleaning. When cleaning the surface, try not to pick up the product. If it is necessary to pick up, please place a sponge under the piezo stage for protection, the piezo stage should not be too high from the sponge to prevent the piezo stage from falling off.
