Custom 3-axis Controller

This custom 3-axis ControlCube is ideal for XYZ applications requiring fine displacement control. The intuitive layout permits precise and smooth manual operation for motorized systems, such as micromanipulators and microscope stages. The ControlCube offers similar functionality to Zaber's standard device knobs, providing much finer control. It works with modified Zaber stand-alone controllers and devices with built-in controllers, which are customized with a locking connector in place of the manual knob. The ControlCube can be paired with a standard joystick (X-JOY3) to add programmable buttons for varying the displacement increments of the dials or toggling between displacement and velocity control modes.

Custom Microscope Stage

This image shows a ASR205B205B-E03T3 microscope stage customized with a larger size aperture for the baseplate (increased to diameter of 125 mm) and midplate (slot size increased to 209 mm tall and 89 mm wide with outer radii of 25 mm). The top plate is fitted with a customized AM152 insert that is designed to hold two custom versions of the AM142 inserts and one AM109 insert.

Custom Microscope Stage Insert

Zaber is happy to offer customized microscope stage inserts to fit your application. In this case, a customer needed to automate transferring samples from a slide to different wells in a well plate, and there were no standard inserts that would hold both at once. We customized an AM152 aluminum insert for the ASR205B205B so that it can hold an AM142 microscope slide insert and an AM109 multiwell plate insert.

Microscope Stage Camera Synchronization

Ultra high-speed imaging and TDI scanning requires tightly synchronized motion and camera triggering. This peripheral ADR microscope stage can be combined with Zaber’s X-MCC Controller optional encoder outputs to enable low latency camera synchronization. This flexible system can be used with cameras of almost any resolution and scanning speed thanks to 1 nm direct reading linear encoders and user configurable interpolation on the controller’s outputs.

OEM Microscope Stage

Need a custom OEM version? This custom ASR highlights some of our capabilities. Fine-pitch ball screws and high resolution encoders were integrated to provide even better small move performance for high throughput imaging tasks. Additionally, a custom base-plate was designed to mount directly to the customer’s optical system without additional adaptor plates. Product branding was also removed as per the customer’s request. Zaber provides many other OEM services including, testing, calibration, inventory management, rapid prototyping, and custom firmware solutions. Contact us with your requirements.
