Motion Controllers
4-axis Closed Loop Dial
TARGET/RETRACT
The
MC1000e-R/T 4-axis dial controller acts as a remote micrometer control
with a user selected
target feature for 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators, and
stages.
The
MC1000e-R/T 4-axis dial controller acts as a remote micrometer control with a user selected
target feature for 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators, and
stages. The MC1000e-R/T uses encoder feedback from our closed loop devices to create
an electronic link between the controller dial and the device being
driven. This direct coupling to the encoder ensures smooth and
coordinated motion between the controller and the drive. The encoder
coupling enables the use of the
DR1000 digital readout for repeated
positioning requirements.
A two-position rocker switch is conveniently located on the side of the
controller. The rapid setting is set to maximize speed (1.7
mm/second) when the dial is turned at 180 RPM. The slow setting is
set to maximize resolution (0.2 µm) but still allow coarse positioning
(800 µm/second).
The TARGET/RETRACT allows the user to set a target location at a desired
point. When it becomes necessary to back away from the experiment area,
the user simply depresses the RETRACT button on the controller. The
stage/actuator plugged into that axis (No.1), then automatically retracts
to its full negative limit. The user can then return to the previously
set position by simply depressing the TARGET button.
The MC1000e-R/T uses a wall mounted power supply as its source for clean DC
power. All cables are shielded and a central ground lug is located
on the junction box to ensure noise-free operation during sensitive
electrophysiology experiments.
