Abstract
Static nonlinearity, drift and hysteresis are effects that limit the open-loop operation of piezoelectric (PZT) tubes as positioning devices. In this paper, several experiments are presented that characterize and quantify these effects. Experiments are carried out on the Nanocut, a nanometric cutting instrument, which utilizes a PZT tube as a three-dimensional actuator. PI control is used in the z axis in order to increase accuracy and linearity, with acceptable results for low-bandwidth operation. The system is tested in a nano-indentation experiment, resulting in adequate tracking accuracy.
