Chapter 5 Operation
5.1. General
CAUTION
Confirm the configuration of the KIM101/KIM001 controller has been switched to “PD(R)” stage.
WARNING
The piezo actuators in this product use high voltages. Voltages up to 125 V may be present at the
SMC connector. This is hazardous and can cause serious injury. Appropriate care should be taken
when using this device. Persons using the device must understand the hazards associated with using
high voltages and the steps necessary to avoid risk of electrical shock.
The piezo controller must be switched OFF before the stage is connected or disconnected. Failure to
switch the controller off may result in damage to either the controller, the stage, or both.
For a complete tutorial on driving the stage, see the manual supplied with the KIM101/KIM001controlle. Basic steps
in controlling the stage are as follows:
1. Mount the PD1D(/M) stage as detailed in Section 4.1.
2. Make electrical connections as detailed in Section 4.2.
NOTE
During operation, the stage makes a high pitched noise and may generate some heat. This is normal
behavior in the performance of the device and does not indicate a fault condition.
3. Run the software and click the ‘zero’ button on the GUI panel. This establishes a datum at the current
position, from which subsequent positional moves can be measured.
4. The stage can now be moved using the controls on the KIM101/KIM001, the GUI panel, or by sending
commands to move each axis – see the manual supplied with the KIM101/KIM001 controller, and the help
file supplied with the software for more information.
NOTE
The PD1D(/M) stage is an open loop device that has been designed to offer relative positioning which
can be commanded via the number of steps.
