DESCRIPTION
The Cryo Positioning Stage High Resonance (CPSHR) is a XYZ positioning stage developed for use in a cryo-vacuum environment. Parallel kinematics result in a light and stiff stage with very high internal resonance frequencies, making it less sensitive to floor vibrations (read our application note on Cavity Stability Measurements). The CPSHR1 is the most compact design with small stroke and high resonances. The CPSHR2 has large stroke and improved thermal conductivity but lower resonances. The CPSHR3 combines the best of both worlds with large stroke, further optimized thermal conductivity and high resonances. Read our Precision Point sheet for additional information on the CPSHR system.

| * Typical volume for positioning. Due to the parallel kinematics the indicated max values are not necessarily simultaneously achievable. On the other hand max values can be bigger when strokes along other axes are limited. | ||||||||||
| ** Endstops are placed close to, but not coincident with each actuator motion axis. Together they define a system z-position, with x and y being 0. Touching multiple endstops in an uncontrolled manner with x and y not being 0 can cause the system to jam and could require manual action to free it. | ||||||||||
| *** Linear resolution can be found by dividing the spindle pitch by PPR (pulses per revolution) | ||||||||||

Movement Animation
A short 3D animation that provides a simple way to show how JPE’s Cryo Positioning Stage High Resonance (CPSHR) system works.
DEMO: scan pattern using position control
The movie shows a sequence of 27 position setpoints within a 20micron cube space distribution (black dots). This sequence is executed by the CPSHR2-S-COE in Servodrive mode. The motion of the CLA’s between the setpoints is not actively synchronized or speed controlled. Each of the 3 CLA’s is simply started and runs the required distance as required by the given setpoint. As a consequence some need to run longer than others or move somewhat faster/slower causing the motion between the setpoints to be not perfectly straight, but it will be as fast as possible.
Please note that these small displacements of the output axes are not clearly visible (although it does, you don’t actually see the round sample table in the center moving), however you can see the three actuators rotate.
