Functions
Real-time system. Position control using Cartesian
coordinates, vectorized motion. Stable, virtual pivot point
can be defined freely in the working space. Data recorder
for recording operating parameters such as motor control,
velocity, position or position error. Macro command
language. Stand-alone operation possible with Autostart
macro or connection of keyboard and monitor. Optional:
Manual control unit
Custom designs
Custom designs are available for use at high altitudes,
e.g. for astronomical telescope applications. Processing
of absolute sensors. Control of motor brakes. Processing of
additional (redundant) position sensors for increased safety
requirements, e.g. in medical technology
