Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible causes
Solution
The platform can be
moved slightly; there is
an audible clicking noise
This behavior is design-
related and results from
the (desired) preload of
the drive screw.
- (There is
no
malfunction. The performance
capability is not impaired.)
Increased wear
Warped base body
Determine and eliminate the cause of
mechanical stress in the housing
Pay attention to the recommended surface
flatness that the positioner is mounted on:
<10 µm.
Reduced accuracy
Impairment of the
function after system
modification
Controller was
replaced
Positioner was
replaced by another
model from the
product series
If necessary, reconfigure the assignments from
the controller and positioner in the control
software.
The stage no longer
moves
The platform has got stuck
at the end of the travel
range (hard stop).
Move the platform by hand (see below).
If the problem that occurred with your system is not listed in the table above or cannot be
solved as described, contact our customer service department ([email protected]).
