Intelligent actuators are highly programmable, integrated actuators with a motor, encoder, amplifier, controller, USB communication, and IOs. The stages come fully pre-configured and enable true out-of-the box controls.
Essential characteristics of any motion control system are repeatability and accuracy, and the objective of the design is to assure the desired trajectories can accurately follow through the working range of the system. In traditional XY gantry designs upper gantry member (Y axis) is carried by two identical bottom axes (X1 and X2).
Low profile XY scanning stages provides precision high-speed scanning capabilities and high positional accuracy. These stages from IntelLiDrives are suited for automatically positioning a wide range of specimens and samples in many types of microscopy or imaging techniques and applications.
With an unquestionable performance capability, servo motors and their final performance is mostly determined by the servo loop tuning. Making servo motors attractive for use in closed loop systems, is the ability to create torque in a linearly predictable fashion. Despite the wealth of theoretical material regarding closed loop systems and closed loop control, tuning a PID servo loop continues to be a bit of an art.
The RTLA-30-100-SMART rotary stages provide accurate positioning performance in a low profile and compact footprint. They are perfect for the confines and requirements of the laboratory and are also applicable for use in manufacturing environments.
