CONEX-LTA-HS is a high speed motorized actuator integrated with a CONEX-CC controller and is optimized for high-speed applications with a 50 mm travel range. LTA actuators are designed to fit into existing manual stages and other opto-mechanical components as direct replacement for manual micrometers. Features include a non-rotating tip to eliminate wear, and folded motors to minimize the footprint and unwanted cantilevered loads.
The CONEX™ controller comes with a USB cable and the optional CONEX-PS-CB can be purchased for daisy-chaining modules. Power supply to be ordered separately. For OEM applications, an optional retainer to secure the USB and power cables is available.
These CONEX kits include either a high speed (LTA-HS) or high load (LTA-HL) DC servo linear actuator. LTA actuators include:
In terms of size, the CONEX-CC motion controller is comparable to a deck of cards. Up to six CONEX-CC controllers can fit on a CONEX-BP baseplate. Both controller and stage are compact and ideal for space-confined or access-limited applications. The low-noise linear amplifier of the CONEX-CC provides the optimum drive solution for low-power DC motors. It delivers smooth motion, with less electrical noise and significantly less motor heating.
For out-of-the box control, the CONEX controller is preconfigured and delivered with the motion device. To start moving a sample or sensor, it simply requires plugging in the power supply, connecting the USB communication and starting the free motion GUI. The integrated USB interface, provides a fast ubiquitous communication protocol. For OEM's or security sensitive applications, RS-232 and RS-485 communications are embedded onto the CONEX controller.
Advanced application programming is simplified by using mnemonic ASCII commands. Newport provides a free GUI that allows the user to access and execute over 60 intuitive ASCII commands. A managed Microsoft .NET assembly (DLL) is provided for programming custom applications in C#, Labview, Matlab, Python and other .NET compatible languages.
CONEX motion controllers can be connected via daisy chain to create multi-axis systems. For added convenience, the power can be shared with up to 5 CONEX-CC modules using the optional CONEX-PS-CB power chain cable. This allows for a convenient low cost multi-axis system.
