SHOT-102

SHOT-102 is a two-axis stage controller designed to deliver high performance in a compact, low-cost package. The controller has two internal drivers and offers both automatic controls using a personal computer and manual operation using a built in joystick.

The controller is complete with built-in manual joystick, a 2-axis digital display, and RS232C and GP-IB ports. The SHOT-102 provides resolution to within 1 micron and utilizes a full and half step drive method.

 
 

 

SHOT-202

SHOT-202 is a two-axis stage controller designed to deliver high performance in a wide range of applications. The SHOT-202 has micro-stepping to provide smooth stepping motor movement. This general-purpose controller has two internal drivers and offers both automatic controls using a personal computer and manual operation using a joypad (control pad). The joypad is required for manual operation, memory settings, and programming the system.

When the SHOT-202 is connected to a personal computer using the RS232C, GP-IB or USB interface, the stage can be accurately moved to the desired position by simple commands sent from the PC. It is possible to save internal data by downloads and uploads.

Internal power supply for I/O (Input/Output) signals, trigger output signals, and DC 24V output signals makes it possible to control external input or output devices or to output trigger signals synchronized with external measuring devices.

 

 

SHOT-204-MS

SHOT-204-MS is a four-axis stage controller designed to deliver high performance in a wide range of applications. The controller will operate both open and closed looped stages in combination. This closed-loop control system delivers resolution to 1 micron. The SHOT-204-MS has micro-stepping to provide smooth stepping motor movement.

SHOT-204-MS offers both automatic controls using a personal computer and manual operation using a control pad. The control pad is required for manual operation, memory settings, and programming the system.

When the SHOT-204-MS is connected to a personal computer using the RS232C, GP-IB or USB interface, the stage can be accurately moved to the desired position by simple commands sent from the PC. It is possible to save internal data by downloads and uploads.

PC-5K Control Pad

PC-5K control pad is a dedicated device for controlling the SHOT-602 when connected using the RS232C interface. The control pad makes it possible to create a program with up to 100 lines for each of four channels (400 lines total). By using the teaching mode of the PC-5K program steps can be saved. The control pad can control axes coordinates, travel speed, wait time and number of time to run program steps.

The PC-5K also can except an external trigger to allow for starting of the program using a remote devise via a RS232C interface.

 

 

PAT-001

The PAT-001 is a compact economic single-axis controller, with a built in motor drive. This single-axis motorized stage controller can be fully automated from your PC. It provides two directional jog motion with the use of a toggle switch located at the front panel for ease of use.

The PAT-001 can control the SGSP translation stages, rotation, ZF, TSDM, Goniometers and the compact stepping motor actuators. The controller can provide two micro-step (full step / half step) and driving current can be selected via PC software. The availability of these features provides simple and accurate single axis positioning.

There are many applications for this economic controller and our experienced Application Enbgineers are ready to assist you.

 

 

SHOT-602 Intelligent Driver/Controller

The SHOT-602 "the intelligent driver" is both a controller and driver in one package. The SHOT-602 provides resolution to within 1 micron and utilizes a full and half step drive method for smooth precise stepping motor movement.

The two-axis intelligent driver provides a low-cost solution for controlling the SGSG20, SGSP26, SGSP60-ZF and SGSP-60YAW stages. When the SHOT-602 is connected to a personal computer or the PC-5K using the RS232C interface, the stage can be accurately moved to the desired position by simple commands.

 

 
 

SFS Fine Controller

The SFS Fine controller is available in one, two and three-axis versions and in UL and CE products. It is designed to work with our complete family of piezo products. The controller will provide high performance in a wide range of applications including many measure ment and inspection applications. The controller will operate both open and closed-loop stages. The closed-loop control system delivers resolution to within 2nm. The controller will provide accurate linearity to less than 0.2%.

SFS Fine offers both automatic controls using a personal computer and manual operation using a control pad. The control pad is required for manual operation, memory settings, and programming the system. When the SFS Fine is connected to a personal computer using the RS232C, GP-IB or USB interface, the stage can be accurately moved to the desired position by simple commands sent from the PC.
