The Burleigh 6005 Handset is a manual control interface for operating Burleigh Inchworm motors in precision positioning and alignment applications. This handheld unit enables independent or simultaneous control of up to three axes of motion through an intuitive directional button interface and single-turn potentiometer speed adjustment. The handset supports both open-loop and closed-loop operation modes, with step-mode capability for fixed-length incremental positioning in closed-loop applications. PZT drive electronics integrated into the controller supply the voltage, current, and timing signals required for rapid actuation of drive elements.
## Technical Specifications
• Axis control: Up to three axes, independently or simultaneously controllable
• Motor speed control: Single-turn potentiometer adjustment on handset
• Motion activation: Directional buttons for continuous motion control
• Step mode: Available in closed-loop operation for fixed-length steps
• Drive electronics: PZT (piezoelectric) drivers supply voltage, current, and timing for drive element actuation
• Operation modes: Open-loop and closed-loop
• Control protocols: Manual, TTL signal remote control, or RS-232 remote control
## Key Features
• Handheld form factor for ergonomic manual operation
• Potentiometer-based speed control for smooth velocity adjustment
