Troubleshooting Guide 

 

If a degradation in performance or other failures are experienced, check for these common issues: 
 

Problem/Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Solution/Suggestion 

Axis not moving 

Physical impediment. 

 

Check physical state of positioner stack for: 

o

 

Grease on the axis that isn’t moving.

 

o

 

Any other contamination on the axis. 

o

 

Wire routing impediments. 

o

 

Potential collisions preventing 
movement. 

Control cabling issue. 

Ensure all cables and wiring are connected/plugged in 
and do not have any shorts or breaks. 

 

Check thermal clamp where In-Vacuum control 

cable is clamped and make sure it isn’t clamped 

too tight: 

o

 

Remove clamp and check to see if axis 
becomes operational. 

o

 

Re-install clamp and do not torque 
screws to more than 0.5 in-lbs. 

Incorrect settings (open loop 
only). 

Confirm that settings are correct. 

No encoder feedback 
(incorrect feedback) 

Cables are not properly 
connected. 

Check cables and plugs to ensure everything is 
connected properly and do not have any shorts or 
breaks. 

Nanopositioner is not paired with 
the correct controller (multi-stack 
configuration). 

If in a multi-stack configuration confirm that the 
correct controller is being paired with the 
nanopositioner. 

Z-axis not moving up 

Mass on top of positioner is too 
heavy (100g-250g) 

Mass (>100g) on top of the positioner, you may have 
overloaded the z-axis.  Reduce the mass on top of the 
positioner. 

Install the Low Force Spring Plunger and see if the 
positioner can lift the mass.
