Compact 4, 5, 6-Axis Motion Controller for High Precision Positioning Applications in Industry and Research
PI’s new cost-efficient servo motor controller for 4-axis, 5-axis and 6-axis stages and motion systems.
Auburn, MA – Precision positioning systems industry leader PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a new 6-axis servo motor controller – the C-884.6DC. Most modern precision motion systems are driven by servo motors, because they provide high torque, fast acceleration, smooth motion with a wide dynamic speed range, and fast start stop performance. The 6-axis motion controller is can also run this photonics alignment 5-axis stage with closed loop motors.
Versatile, Compact Motion Controller
PI’s compact C-884 DC motion controller can run brushless servo motors and traditional DC motors with closed loop feedback provided by incremental encoders and absolute encoders (BiSS protocol). USB, TCP/IP and RS-232 interfaces are standard for command communication. Additional interfaces such as programmable analog and digital I/O lines, an SPI display port and joystick port are also included.
The dual-core architecture provides for increased performance and flexibility by separating command processing and position servo control functions.
