The MC1000e-R 4-axis dial
controller acts as a remote micrometer control for 800 & 7000
series actuators, manipulators, and stages.
The MC1000e-R uses
encoder feedback from our closed loop devices to create an electronic link between
the controller dial and the device being driven.
This direct coupling to the
encoder ensures smooth and coordinated motion between the controller and the
drive. The encoder coupling enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for
repeated positioning requirements.
A two-position rocker switch is conveniently
located on the top of the controller. The "rapid" setting
is set to maximize speed (1.7 mm/second) when the dial
is turned at 180 RPM. The "slow" setting is set to maximize
resolution (0.2 μm) but still allow coarse positioning
(800 μm/second).
The MC1000e-R uses a wall mounted power supply as its source
for clean DC power. All cables are shielded and a central
ground lug is located on the junction box to ensure noise-free
operation during sensitive electrophysiology experiments.
