Zaber Technologies Logo

 

  • 12 mm travel and 15.5 N peak thrust
  • Up to 1400 mm/s speed, 25 Hz full-travel cycling
  • Direct position measurement from 1 nm resolution linear encoder
  • One digital input and two digital outputs
  • Built-in controller; daisy-chains with other Zaber Technologies products

 

Features:

1. An indexed knob provides convenient manual control.
2. Direct-drive voice coil actuator provides 12 N continuous, up to 15.5 N peak thrust.
3. Analog linear encoder interpolated to 1 nm resolution provides smooth closed loop control.
4. Servo-positioning comes pre-tuned, and control parameters can be adjusted on the fly.
5. Crossed roller bearings provide exceptionally smooth movement and virtually eliminate wear.
6. Control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with a locking X-SDC cable) or USB (with an X-USBDC cable).
7. Daisy-chain additional units with a locking X-DC02 cable or X-DC06 cable. Power can also be shared in the chain.
8. Innovative coil design drives accelerations of up to 15 G with a flat force profile.
9. Stage top supports metric M3 and M6 threaded holes along with dowel pin alignment features.
10. One digital input and two digital outputs for interfacing with external systems.

 

Zaber Technologies’ X-DMQ-AE Series devices are computer-controlled, direct-drive voice coil driven, linear stages with high acceleration and precision capabilities in a compact size. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply.

The innovative moving-coil actuator design has a very flat force-vs-position profile for applications requiring smooth force output throughout travel. The technology also allows for a minimal moving mass for rapid acceleration, and no exposed moving cables for a high duty-cycle. The force output allows the light carriage to reach speeds up to 1400 mm/s within the 12mm travel.
