Zaber Technologies Gimbal
This customized gimbal system consists of two RST rotary stages, an X-MCB2 external controller, and custom-sized brackets. This setup can be changed to accommodate different size working envelopes. Some additional options include rotary stages with built-in controllers, motor encoders, or direct encoders. It is also possible to connect device cables through a slip ring, which allows daisy-chaining power and data to the stages without tangling wires as the stage rotates.
Custom Rotary Stage with a Built-In Slip Ring
This custom rotary stage has a built-in slip ring that can pass electrical service to a device mounted to the rotary stage. The slip ring allows for continuous rotation without cable tangling or wrap up. This customization is available to simplify integration of daisy-chaining to rotating Zaber devices or customer devices.
Electrical Slip Ring for Daisy Chaining Through Rotary Stages
This X-RSW-E rotary stage is equipped with a built-in slip ring. The slip ring allows daisy chaining power and data to products on top of the X-RSW-E without tangling wires as the stage rotates.
Custom Two-Axis Rotary Gimbal
This gimbal system consists of an X-RSB for the lower axis with an X-RSW driving the upper axis. The devices are daisy-chained together through a slip ring, which allows daisy-chaining power and data to the X-RSW without tangling wires as the stage rotates. This setup can easily be customized to accommodate different size working envelopes or be mounted to work with an X-RST for higher accuracy systems.
