Servo Electronics

 

We offer several high performance, board level and rack mount drive electronics configurations. The use of advanced automatic gain control (AGC) and low noise damping found in our complete line of drivers provide high quality and stable positioning. Designed with flexibility in mind, each driver can be configured for operation with most of our extensive line of precision closed loop galvanometer based optical scanners. All of our drivers operate from an analog command input of up to +/-10V which can be scaled to up to +/-20 mechanical degrees scanner rotation. Digital input options are also available on many of our products. The servo options include several package and feature sets including both Class 1 Integrating and Class 0 Non-integrating configurations.

SMT Drivers

The Surface Mount Technology (SMT) design and packaging of our MicroMax drivers yield high performance operation in extremely compact packages and very attractive OEM prices. Integral mounting hardware, convenient placement of system tuning and setup adjustments and overall servo size further support compact system designs and ease of integration. Optional bandwidth enhancement modules extend system bandwidth and positioning speeds to new levels. The MicroMax series offers two available models.

The MicroMax 670XX Driver Board

Our advanced servo topology and Class 1 error integration provides excellent positioning repeatability, accuracy and stability in a compact single axis configuration. High stability components provide excellent time and temperature stability. Built-in system conditioning and status monitoring ensures complete and reliable system control during integration and operation.

The MicroMax 677XX Driver Board

It  provides an extremely compact, high performance and fully featured servo package at a very attractive price. At just 2 inches in width and 2.5 in length it is among the smallest servo drivers commercially available, bringing easier integration to your scanning solution. Featuring automatic gain control (AGC), low noise system damping, linearity compensation and high stability components, the 677XX servo provides high quality and stable positioning.

The MicroMax 678XX Driver Board

Our advanced Class 0 non-integrating servo topology provides the highest positioning speed and lowest cost in a compact single axis configuration. Differential analog inputs, flexible power supply configurations and positioning control allow for optimization of system positioning angle, speed, accuracy and cost. Servo signal conditioning, and continuous power monitoring and adjustment maintain controlled performance within the rated angular excursion limits.

Original Servo Drivers

For existing and specific OEM and system applications, the model 650XX Integrating and 658XX Non-integrating servos based on our proven Class 1 and Class 0 servo architectures offer excellent positioning performance. These servo capabilities are also offered in the model 653XX dual axis servo board.

Rack Mount Drivers

Rack Mount Driver Boxes are also available for those applications requiring proven Class 1 and Class 0 servo driver capability and/or the highest peak galvo drive capability in a fully integrated and packaged servo control unit. Only a structured command input signal and AC power are required. The Rack Mount Drivers are available in both the model 602XX single axis and the model 603XX dual axis configurations.
