The Burleigh 7000-1-0 Inchworm Controller is a precision motion control device that commands one to three Burleigh Inchworm motor axes independently or simultaneously. It delivers the voltage, current, and timing signals required for rapid actuation through sophisticated PZT drive electronics, supporting both open-loop manual operation and closed-loop feedback control with encoder counting circuitry.
## Technical Specifications
• **Axes of Control:** One to three axes, independently or simultaneously
• **Control Modes:** Open-loop (without feedback) and closed-loop (with encoder feedback)
• **Resolution:** Nanometer-level precision; Inchworm motors achieve 4 nm mechanical resolution
• **Speed:** Manual handset control: 4–40 nm/sec; overall speed determined by motor inertia and driver output capability
• **Motor Compatibility:** Burleigh Inchworm 700, LTS, and LTO series motors
## Key Features
• PZT drive electronics optimize voltage, current, and timing for actuator performance
• Closed-loop operation enables step size programming, position display, zero-point setting, stepping, and position maintenance
• Manual control via handset (e.g., Burleigh 6005) or joystick (e.g., Burleigh 7003)
• TTL signal input for automated control sequences
• RS-232 remote operation capability
• Optional PC interface support via Burleigh Model 671 ISA PC card for multi-controller systems controlling up to nine motors (three controllers × three motors)
## Typical Applications
Precision positioning, scanning, and alignment tasks requiring nanometer-level repeatability and high-speed operation across single or multi-axis configurations.
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for Burleigh Inchworm motors. Integrates with standard accessories including handsets, joysticks, and optional ISA-based PC control cards for expanded system configurations.
