Rotary Stages Customizations

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 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.

Custom X-RST-DE with Manual Knob

This custom X-RST-DE rotary stage uses a dual shaft motor with a knob for manual control of the stage. The X-RST-DE gear requires a lot of force to rotate, so a larger knob requiring less torque from the user was added. The knob can be used when the stage is powered on or off. Since this stage has a direct encoder, the controller keeps track of the stage position if the manual knob is used to rotate the stage, even when it's powered.
