Zaber has discontinued the T-CD series and replaced it with the T-MCA controller
We've discontinued the T-CD series and replaced it with the T-MCA controller. Visit the: T-MCA Controller page for more information.
The T-MCA is more reliable and more immune to noise and electrostatic discharge than the T-CD. The power supply is different. It comes with a 24V power supply with a different type of plug. It can run on 12-48 Vdc allowing it to run motors a lot faster than the T-CD. The only major difference in the settings is the running and hold current setting. With the T-CD, the current setting was inversely proportional to the actual current. Now the current is set with a value of 0 to 100. 100 means 100% of the maximum output of 2.5A. If you wanted to drive a 1.2A motor, you would enter 1.2/2.5 x 100 = 48 (48% of maximum).
Zaber Sponsors University of Waterloo Nanorobotics Group for RoboCup 2009
Zaber has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the University of Waterloo Nanorobotics Group (UWNRG), who are designing a micro robot that will compete in four soccer-related challenges in the 2009 RoboCup Nanogram Competition. This event will be held in Graz, Austria in July of this year.
In order to accurately and reliably deliver power and control to their robot, Zaber will provide them with three KT-LS13-M linear actuator kits to control their blue lasers.
