July 29 2016 – PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P., known for nanometer precision motion components, systems, and solutions, announced their digital servo controller with 3-channels. Applications include precision alignment and automation, semiconductor technology, photonics, bio-nano-technology, metrology, microscopy, micro-manipulation.
The E-873.3QTU 3-axis controller compliments the size of the positioners it controls, has integrated power amplifiers and interpolator, and is macro programmable for stand-alone functionality of each channel.
The E-873.3QTU is equipped with a data recorder for high speed tracing, ID chip compatibility for quick start-up and on-the-fly parameter changes, and exchange of system components without recalibration. The controllers are delivered with software packages, including drivers for LabVIEW, as well as dynamic libraries for Windows and Linux. In addition, a macro programming language is available, for automation tasks and stand-alone operation. Communication with a host PC is via modern interfaces, such as TCP/IP and USB.
An optional joystick is available for manual operation.
