The Burleigh 7000-1-1 Inchworm Controller is a precision motion control instrument engineered to drive and command Inchworm motors with high resolution and speed. It delivers sophisticated PZT drive electronics that generate the precise voltage, current, and timing required for rapid, accurate actuation of piezoelectric motor elements. The controller operates up to three axes independently or simultaneously, supporting both open-loop and closed-loop positioning modes to meet diverse application requirements.
## Technical Specifications
• **Axis Capability:** Up to three axes
• **Operation Modes:** Open-loop and closed-loop
• **Open-Loop Control:** Motor actuation without integrated feedback; compatible with handset, joystick, or TTL signal interfaces for applications where position measurement is external or manual
• **Closed-Loop Control:** Integrated encoder counting circuitry enabling step size setting, position display, zero point setting, targeted position movement, and position maintenance
• **Performance:** High-speed operation with high-resolution positioning
• **Drive Electronics:** Sophisticated PZT drive electronics for precise motor actuation
• **Programmability:** Flexible configuration and operation programming
## Key Features
• Manual control via handset or joystick interfaces
• Remote operation using TTL signals or RS-232 protocols
• Bi-directional communication available in some configurations for enhanced external control
• Compatible with industry-standard computer interfaces including RS-232 and ISA PC card connections
## Typical Applications
Demanding scientific and industrial applications requiring stable, reliable precision positioning with high resolution and repeatable movement control.
## Compatibility & Integration
The 7000-1-1 interfaces with Burleigh Inchworm motor systems and supports control peripherals such as handsets and joysticks. Computer integration is achieved through RS-232 protocols or dedicated ISA PC card interfaces for multi-axis, multi-motor coordination.
