The Burleigh 6100-1-1-1-4 is a single-axis Inchworm controller engineered for precision motion control requiring nanometer-scale positioning. It delivers voltage, current, and timing signals to PZT actuators for rapid, high-speed actuation while maintaining exceptional resolution. The controller operates in both open-loop and closed-loop modes, with closed-loop configurations incorporating encoder feedback for position display, step-size setting, and position maintenance. Manual operation is available via front panel controls, optional handset, or joystick. Remote operation uses TTL signals or RS-232 protocols, with advanced PC integration possible through compatible interface cards.
