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.
IP65 Rated Rotary Stage
Applications in dirty environments such as machining, outdoors, or washdown environments typically require ingress protection (IP) rated motion control. Shown below is an X-RST240B-AE56 high precision rotary stage with optional ingress protection. The integrated controller and stage internals are protected against dust and water to a rating of IP65 (protected from all dust ingress and low-pressure water jets in any direction). Additionally, the fully integrated controller means you don’t have to worry about designing a separate enclosure to house your control electronics.
Custom 2 Axis System
This image shows a custom 2 axis system consisting of two 100 mm travel LRT-AEC linear stages and a RST240B-E Series rotary table for high load vertical and rotary positioning. The LRT stages use the lockstep synchronization feature of the X-MCC to move together for improved load capacity and stiffness. A custom base plate for the RST240 allows for flexible mounting and full access through the 101.6 mm aperture.
