P-63x Nanopositioner
NOTICE
Warping of the P-63x when fixing loads with an uneven contact surface!
Fixing loads with an uneven contact surface could warp the P-63x. Warping reduces the
accuracy.
Fix loads to the P-63x only when the surface contacting the P-63x's platform has a flatness
of at least 20 μm.
For applications with large temperature fluctuations:
Mount loads onto the P-63x only if they have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-63x (e.g., loads made of aluminum).
NOTICE
Center of load at unsuitable position!
If the center of load is located too far away from the center of the motion platform (e.g., tall
load and unwanted lever effect), the P-63x can be damaged, especially in dynamic operation,
by high strain on the flexure guides, high torques, and oscillations.
If the center of the load to be fixed is too high or to the side of the motion platform, adjust
the controller settings before starting and operating or or contact our customer service
department (p. 31).
NOTICE
Excessively long screws!
The P-63x could be damaged by screws inserted too deeply.
Pay attention to the depth of the mounting holes in the motion platform (p. 35).
Use screws of the correct length for the respective mounting holes only.
INFORMATION
The positive direction of motion is in the opposite direction of the cable exit.
