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.
