X-RSB-E Series
High speed motorized rotary stages with built in controllers, motor encoders, and optional brakes
About This Series
Zaber's X-RSB-E Series rotation stages feature a compact footprint, low profile, and a load capability of up to 50 kg. With a maximum speed of 1,200 rpm, these rotation stages are ideal for the rapid positioning of light loads to within a fraction of a degree.
They are stand-alone units requiring either a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply. A built-in motor encoder allows for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. There are two motor configurations available: up and down. Motor up configurations allow flush mounting of the device to a flat surface, and motor down configurations allow for a full 360° movement of loads that extend past the edge of the stage top. An indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer. An optional power-off brake is available to protect the payload from unintended motion in the event of power loss.
These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and they can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. The daisy-chain also shares power, making it possible for multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for secure connection between units. Like all of Zaber's products, the X-RSB-E Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate.

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 Zaber device to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
- Connect the power supply to your Zaber device.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
