CONEX - AGP

The CONEX-AGP is a very compact and inexpensive, single axis motion controller/driver for piezo motor driven stages with encoder feedback. For out-of-the box control, the CONEX-AGP is pre-configured and delivered with the AG-LS25-27P linear stage with a direct read linear encoder.

The Conex closed loop algorithm for Agilis stages is a simplified version of the typical DC servo loop algorithm that provides a system bi-directional repeatability of 0.3µm. There is an available deadband feature that allows the user to modify the closed loop parameters to program the acceptable deviation from a position, stop and hold that position.

For added convenience, the power is supplied via the computer's USB.
