N O T E :
For most applications, the maximum allowable acceleration is not the optimal acceleration.
Piezo stages are lightly damped and large accelerations will cause excessive position error with minimal
change in move times. Aerotech recommends determining the optimal acceleration for a given move
experimentally with the help of advanced tools included with the Aerotech controller, such as the Digital
Scope. Refer to controller documentation or contact Aerotech for more information.
