P763 Nanopositioner
NOTICE
Warping of the P763 when fixing loads with an uneven contact surface!
Fixing loads with an uneven contact surface could warp the P-763. Warping reduces the
accuracy.
Only fix loads on the P-763 whose contact surface with the platform of the P-763 has a
flatness of at least 20
μ
m.
For applications with large temperature changes:
Only fix loads to the P-763 that have the same or similar thermal expansion properties as
the P-763.
NOTICE
Center of load at unsuitable position!
If the center of load is located too far away from the center of the platform (e.g., tall loads and
unwanted lever effect), the P-763 can be damaged by high strain on the flexure guides, high
torques, and oscillation, especially when operated dynamically.
If the center of the load to be affixed is too far above or to the side of the platform, adjust
the controller settings before startup or contact our customer service department (p. 31).
NOTICE
Excessively long screws!
The P-763 could be damaged by screws inserted too deeply.
Pay attention to the depth of the mounting holes in the platform (p. 35).
Use screws of the correct length for the respective mounting holes only.
INFORMATION
Positive direction of axis motion is specified in the product view (p. 9).
