X-GSM-SV2 Series
High vacuum motorized goniometers with built-in controllers
About This Series
For more information about the basics of a vacuum system and considerations to keep in mind when gathering requirements for your application, read our technical article, "Motion Device Design Considerations for Vacuum Applications".
Zaber's X-GSM-SV2 Series devices are high-vacuum compatible, computer-controlled, motorized goniometers with a compact size and built-in controller. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply.
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.
Like all of Zaber's products, the X-GSM-SV2 Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate. If you are considering a multi-axis system, in the XY configuration, these stages are designed to stack with mounting alignment features in the stage top and base.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor, microstepped up to 256x to provide smooth and precise motion.
- Integrated stepper motor controller and motor driver allows for easy-to-use control.
- Only 4 feedthrough wires required to control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with an X-PIB adaptor).
- Daisy-chain additional units to reduce wiring clutter. Power and data can be shared in the chain.
- High vacuum compatible stepper motors rated to 10-6 Torr.
- 40 mm and 60 mm centre of rotation options allow for two axes of motion about a common centre of rotation.
- Crossed roller bearings for smooth motion and high stiffness.
- The interlocking alignment system makes it easy to stack two stages.
- M2 (20 mm pattern) and M3 (32 mm pattern) mounting holes provided.
- Low profile, small footprint.
Easy Set-Up
Control and Power Multiple Devices With Only Four Feedthrough Wires
- Connect data and power cables between computer and vacuum chamber.
- Devices with built-in controllers receive power and data in the vacuum chamber via 4 feedthrough wires*.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
* For X-Series devices, power is injected via the X-PIB. T-Series devices require 5 feedthrough wires and the T-DSUB9-P for power injection.
