The Burleigh 6000-2-0-1-1 is a 2-axis Inchworm controller delivering precision motion control through sophisticated PZT drive electronics. This programmable system provides the voltage, current, and timing necessary for high-speed actuation while maintaining sub-micron resolution. It supports both open-loop and closed-loop operation modes, adapting to applications ranging from manual bench-top work to fully automated systems.
The controller operates one to three axes independently or simultaneously via TTL signals or RS-232 protocols. Manual control interfaces include handsets and joysticks, while remote operation accommodates PC integration through the 670 Series Computer Interface with LabVIEW or RS-232 connectivity. Open-loop configurations suit applications where external feedback management is preferred, while closed-loop variants incorporate encoder counting circuitry for position feedback, enabling precise step setting, target positioning, and position maintenance.
