The MC1000e is a simple push-button
controller with submicron positioning capability that is
compatible with our 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators,
and stages.
The MC1000e 4-axis controller has two preset speed settings:
rapid (1.7 mm/second) and medium (300 μm/second). The
third speed selector (slow) has a variable 330° potentiometer
that enables settings from high speed (50 μm/second) to
low speed (2 μm/second). With the speed selector set at
the slowest settings, consistent 0.2 μm moves are easily
made by the simple bump of an axis button. The controller
uses encoder feedback from the motor to drive the device.
This encoder coupling enables the use of the DR1000 digital
readout or repeated positioning requirements.
The MC1000e 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.
