X-RSW-E Series
Motorized rotary stages with built-in controllers and motor encoders
About This Series
Zaber's X-RSW-E Series products are computer controlled motorized rotary stages with integrated controllers and motor encoders. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24-48 V power supply.
Built-in motor encoders allow for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. An indexed knob provides smooth manual control at variable speeds in both directions for versatile operation even without a computer. Press and hold to switch between velocity mode and distance mode, turn to move the stage, and press to stop.
The stages connect to the USB 2.0 or RS-232 port of any computer and can be chained with several units per chain. They can also be chained with any other Zaber products. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for easy and secure connection between products. The chain also shares power, so multiple X-Series products can use a single power supply.
- Control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with a locking X-SDC cable) or USB (with an X-USBDC cable).
- Daisy-chain additional units with a locking X-DC02 cable or X-DC06 cable. Power can also be shared in the chain.
- Integrated motor encoder, controller, and stepper motor driver provide easy-to-use closed-loop motion.
- Stage top has metric M6 threaded holes as well as UNC #8-32 holes.
- Rotating centre optic holder fits 25 mm (1").
- Non-rotating optic holder recessed into housing for simultaneous mounting of two optics (1 rotating and 1 fixed).
- Precision worm gear allows for continuous rotation.
- Holes on bottom and two sides provide flexible mounting options; can be mounted directly on other Zaber stages.
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.
