Organizational Measures ....................... 6 Intended Use The S-340 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use and use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants. In accordance with its design, the S-340 is intended for precision positioning and alignment of a mirror in two orthogonal axes with a common pivot point (parallel kinematics).

Piezo actuator 2 of the axis Platform The S-340 is a tip/tilt platform with differential piezo drive. Four piezo actuators are interconnected in pairs to realize tip/tilt motion on two axes. Both pairs of actuators are electrically switched so that when piezo voltage U...
Most applications are not very sensitive to such deviations as long as the tip/tilt angle does not change. Each of the four piezo actuators of the S-340 is equipped with a strain gauge sensor. Therefore, in addition to the amplifier channel, a servo loop with a sensor channel must be available for each actuator pair.

4 Unpacking Unpacking 1. Unpack the S-340 with care. 2. Compare the contents with the scope of delivery according to the contract and the delivery note. 3. Inspect the contents for signs of damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact our customer service department (p.
Install the S-340 so that the application is not impaired by the dissipated heat. Ensure sufficient ventilation at the place of installation. Make sure that the entire bottom of the S-340 is in contact with the surface on which the S-340 is mounted.
Page 28
Distorting the S340 when mounted on uneven surfaces! Fixing the S-340 onto an uneven surface can distort the S-340. Distortion reduces the accuracy. Fix the S-340 onto an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤30 µm. For applications with large temperature fluctuations: Only fix the S-340 onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion properties as the S-340 (e.g., surfaces made of aluminum).
Despite its massive and robust appearance, the S-340 is a very sensitive and fragile system. The piezo actuators and joints can be damaged if the S-340 is allowed to fall or tip over. Do not allow the S-340 to fall or tip over.
Page 30
Make sure that the mirror and, if necessary, the mirror holder have the same or similar thermal expansion properties as the platform of the S-340. Prevent adhesive from penetrating the housing of the S-340 and running into the holes of the platform (see figure above).

If you use a template: Remove the template. 3. Fix the mirror to the platform: a) If you use a centering aid: Carefully align the centering aid on the S-340 and fix it appropriately. b) Place the mirror carefully in the appropriate orientation or into the centering aid on the platform of the S-340.
5 Installation Mounting the S340 Figure 12: Mounting holes in the base of the S-340 (view from above) Requirements You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 23). The S-340 is not connected to the electronics.
INFORMATION Pay attention to the applicable standards for connecting the protective earth conductor. The S-340 has an M4 hole for attaching the protective earth conductor. This hole is marked with the symbol for the protective earth conductor (see "Dimensions" (p. 46)).
1. If necessary, attach a suitable cable lug to the protective earth conductor. 2. Use the M4 screw (together with the flat and lock washers) to attach the cable lug of the protective earth conductor to the threaded hole in the S-340 as shown in the profile view.

5 Installation Connecting the S340.xxD to the electronics 1. Connect the D-sub 25 connector of the S-340.xxD to the D-sub 25 socket of the electronics (refer to the user manual for the electronics). 2. Use the integrated screws to secure the connectors against accidental disconnection.
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can occur on the S-340 in the case of malfunction or failure of the system. If there are touch voltages, touching the S-340 can result in minor injuries from electric shock.
Signals for Dynamic Operation" (p. 45) for details. INFORMATION Sound and vibration (e.g., footfall, knocks) can be transmitted to the S-340 and can affect its performance with regard to position stability. Avoid sound and vibration while the S-340 is being operated.
The S-340 must be discharged in the following cases: Before Installation When the S-340 is not in use but the electronics remain switched on to ensure temperature stability Before demounting (e.g., before cleaning and transporting the S-340 and for ...

E-727 E-727 E-727 The resolution of the system is limited only by the noise of the amplifier and the measuring technology because PI piezo nanopositioning systems are free of friction. All specifications based on room temperature (22 °C ±3 °C).
10.1.4 Recommended Control Signals for Dynamic Operation The maximum permissible operating temperature for the piezo actuators of the S-340 is 80 °C. During dynamic continuous operation of a single axis, this temperature value is achieved at an ambient temperature of approx. 20 °C for the following characteristics of a sinusoidal piezo voltage signal and then remains constant.
