2.1 Intended Use
The P-56x is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended to be
used in interior spaces and in an environment which is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
Based on its design and realization, the P-56x is intended for fine positioning as well
as the fast and precise motion of small objects. The specifications of the P-56x apply
to horizontal mounting. The motion takes place in three axes horizontally and
vertically.
The intended use of the P-56x is only possible in combination with suitable drive and
control electronics (p. 13) available from PI. The electronics is not included in the
scope of delivery of the P-56x.
The electronics must provide the required operating voltages. To ensure proper
performance of the servo-control system, the electronics must be able to read out and
process the signals from the capacitive sensors.
2.2 General Safety Instructions
The P-56x is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety
standards. Improper use can result in personal injury and/or damage to the P-56x.
Only use the P-56x for its intended purpose, and only use it if it is in a good
working order.
Read the user manual.
Immediately eliminate any faults and malfunctions that are likely to affect
