About This Series

Zaber's X-RSM-E Series rotation stages are our most compact stepper and worm gear driven devices. These are stand-alone units requiring only a power supply. An indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer. 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.

Self-aligning feet and mounting points make it easy to set up multi-axis tilt or gimbal systems using the GSM tilt devices or AP146 and AB147 brackets.

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:

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