About This Series
What is a goniometer? A goniometer stage (sometimes called a goniometer table) is a tilting stage that rotates about a virtual axis fixed in space above the stage surface. Zaber's LMG Series motorized goniometers are stepper motor driven positioning goniometers designed to interface with our X-MCB1 controller, offering high resolution daisy-chainable operation. The LMG60 has a virtual axis 60 mm above the mounting surface, and the LMG40 has a virtual axis 40 mm above the mounting surface. When the LMG40 is mounted at 90 degrees on top of the LMG60, the result is a two-axis goniometer with a shared virtual axis of rotation that is 40 mm above the top mounting surface.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor, microstepped up to 256x to provide smooth and precise motion.
- Low profile stages with a small footprint for precise motion in one of the most compact packages available.
- A knob is provided for coarse positioning without power.
- DB15 male connector for quick connection to Zaber single or multi-axis controllers.
- M2 (20 mm pattern) and M3 (32 mm pattern) mounting holes provided.
- Crossed-roller bearing construction for high stiffness.
- LMG40 and LMG60 mount directly in XY to provide two axes of tilt motion about a single point of rotation.
Easy Set-Up
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 controller to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
- Connect the controller to the peripheral and plug in the power supply.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
