The Burleigh 8005 Inchworm Handset is a manual control interface for precise positioning and incremental movement of Burleigh Inchworm motors. This accessory enables fine adjustments and remote operation of Inchworm positioning systems through direct, tactile control. The handset supports simultaneous or individual axis operation, depending on the connected Burleigh Inchworm controller, making it suitable for complex multi-axis positioning tasks.
Technical Specifications
• Control Type: Manual, multi-axis control for Inchworm motors
• Operation Modes: Simultaneous axis operation, individual axis operation, manual operation via handset
• Interface: Direct manual control interface; compatible with controllers supporting TTL signals or RS-232 protocols for extended remote operation capabilities
• Power Supply: Operates in conjunction with a Burleigh Inchworm motor controller requiring universal power input (90–260 V, 50/60 Hz)
– Key Features
• Multi-axis control flexibility for independent or synchronized motor operation
• Tactile front-panel interface for ergonomic manual positioning
• Compatible with PZT drive electronics in the Burleigh controller ecosystem
• Supports both open-loop and integrated control configurations
– Typical Applications
• Fine-adjustment positioning requiring manual operator control
• Multi-axis alignment tasks in optical and mechanical systems
• Remote manual operation of Inchworm motor arrays
• Research and laboratory setups demanding incremental movement precision
– Compatibility & Integration
The 8005 Handset integrates with Burleigh Inchworm motor controllers including the LSS-8000 system and other compatible 8000-series controllers. It is particularly suited for open-loop control configurations where manual input drives positioning. The handset is designed for use alongside controllers that facilitate handset-based manual operation, providing a direct interface to motors without requiring external computer control or programmable logic.
