Troubleshooting
No or limited motion
Cable not connected correctly
►
Check the cable connections.
Excessive load
►
Do not exceed the maximum push/pull capacity
according to the
Zero shifting of the position sensor for the
following reasons:
Load in direction of motion
Surrounding/operating temperature of the
piezo actuator is much higher or lower than
the calibration temperature (21 °C to 24 °C)
►
Readjust the sensor's zero-point (see manual for
the electronics).
Piezo actuator is depolarized due to over-
heating
►
Contact our
.
Defective actuator
►
If possible, replace the defective actuator with
another actuator and test the new combination.
Reduced accuracy
The electronics or mechanics were replaced
►
Recalibrate the axis displacement (see controller
manual) or contact our
.
Axes were mixed up during connection
►
In the case of calibrated systems, pay attention
to the assignment of the axes when connecting
several piezo actuators to a multi-channel con-
troller. This assignment is indicated by labels on
the devices.
The piezo actuator starts oscillating or positions inaccurately
Servo control parameters set incorrectly be-
cause for example, the load was changed
►
Switch off the servo mode of the corresponding
axes immediately.
►
Check the servo control parameter settings on
the controller.
►
Adjust the servo control parameters on the con-
troller according to the load change.
Operating with an excessively high frequen-
cy
►
Operate the piezo actuator at a maximum of one
third of the resonant frequency (see
for resonant frequency of the un-
loaded piezo actuator, see
mum Operating Frequency of the Loaded Piezo
for resonant frequency of the
loaded piezo actuator).
