LDQ-AE Series
High speed, precision linear motor stages with built-in linear encoders
About This Series
Zaber's LDQ-AE Series devices are motorized linear motor stages with high precision and speed capabilities. The built-in linear encoder allows closed-loop servo positioning. The LDQ-AE's innovative design allows speeds up to 1.5 m/s and a minimum incremental move of 25 nm.
The stages are designed to connect directly to our X-MCC using a single cable. Set-up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the LDQ-AE.
- Built-in analog encoder can be interpolated down to 1 nm.
- Travel lengths from 75 to 1000 mm, with custom lengths available.
- Innovative design allows for superior speed & precision; up to 1.5 m/s speed & 25 nm minimum incremental move.
- Stage top supports metric M6 threaded holes.
- Multiple LDQ stages can be assembled in XY configurations without additional hardware.
- Panel Mount DB26 with AutoDetect allows the LDQ-AE to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input.
Easy Set-Up
With AutoDetect, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the peripheral. Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which reduces cabling and makes set-up as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Connect the X-MCC controller to your computer.
- Connect the controller to the peripheral and plug in the power supply.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
For more details on daisy-chaining, read our technical article, "Daisy-chaining Data and Power to Reduce Cabling", or to determine which accessories you need for your system, try our Connection Guide Tool.
