Custom Touchscreen Interface
This programmable, microcontroller-based device can be used in place of a desktop computer or laptop, as a simple, permanent interface to control Zaber motion products, display position information, and store and run custom programs. This model is based on an Arduino UNO microcontroller board and touchscreen shield, which allows fast application development, an intuitive user-interface, and a wide range of functionality. Combined with Zaber's fast lead times and easy controls, this can be a great solution for developing a prototype system rapidly. Zaber can offer a microcontroller-based device programmed to suit your requirements as a custom product, or you can contact us if you'd like assistance with building and programming your own solution to work with Zaber devices.
Custom Stripped-down Joystick
This stripped-down joystick features 4 programmable buttons for functions like storing and recalling positions as well as storing a sequence of move commands. It is compatible with all Zaber's motor controllers and devices with built-in controllers.
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.
