Custom Gimbal with Through-Bore Slip Ring
The Challenge: A customer needed continuous two-axis rotation for a new instrument but also required clear, unobstructed access through the center to mount a stationary object. Standard rotary stages include an aperture, but running cables through a continuously rotating stage can cause cables to tangle. Zaber's standard gimbals include optional slip rings to provide unrestricted rotation with cables but this component occupies the rotary stage aperture.
The Solution: Our Custom Engineering team designed a custom miniature gimbal that integrates a through-bore slip ring.
The Outcome: The slip ring handles all electrical connections, allowing for infinite, tangle-free rotation, while the hollow center remains open for the customer's stationary hardware.
Zaber's Technical Advantage: The gimbal was built using Zaber's standard X-RSB-E and X-RSW-E rotary stages. These devices have integrated controllers and daisy-chain with a single cable for power and data, minimizing cable clutter, making this complex system remarkably simple to integrate.
