Motorized Linear Stage, MFA-CC Integrated with CONEX-CC Controller
Motorized Linear Stage, MFA-CC Integrated with CONEX-CC Controller
Model: CONEX-MFACC
Product Series Overview
DC Servo Linear Stage With CONEX™ ControllerThe CONEX-MFACC, a compact, all-steel construction linear stages with integrated controller, provides precision motion with 0.1 μm Minimum Incremental Motion and excellent stability and stiffness. The CONEX-MFACC features a DC-motor with an integrated gear-box and a motor-mounted high resolution rotary encoder. Faster motion with higher reliability and lower backlash makes it ideal for applications requiring small incremental motion with high dynamic speed and good repeatability. Typical applications for this stage are fiber optic alignment, laser diode research, bio-medical applications and inspection systems.
The CONEX™ controller comes with a USB cable and a CONEX-PS-CB 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.
Scalable Architecture
The CONEX-MFACC can be daisy chained to create multi-axis systems. For added convenience, the power can be shared with up to 5 modules using the optional CONEX-PS-CB power chain cable. This allows for a convenient low cost multi-axis system. Additionally, analog and digital inputs can be implemented into the controller through the CONEX-IOD.
Compact Controller with Integrated Stage
In terms of size, the CONEX-CC controller is comparable to a deck of cards, only measuring 93 x 53 x 23 mm. Six controllers can fit on a CONEX-BP baseplate. The CONEX-MFACC is ideal for space-confined applications.
All Steel Stage
The full steel body of the MFA allows for a more compact design with exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, greater thermal stability and high load capacity.
USB Communication with PC
Communication between the CONEX™ controller and PC is achieved via the integrated USB interface, providing a fast ubiquitous communication protocol. For OEM's or security sensitive applications, RS-232 and RS-485 are embedded onto the controller.
Simple Programming with Extensive Language Options
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. Alternatively, additional drivers are available for LabVIEW™ as well as communication DLL’s for other languages.
Linear Amplifier
Low-noise linear amplifier of the CONEX-CC provides the optimum drive solution for low-power DC motors; delivering smoother motion, with less electrical noise and significantly less motor heating.
Out-of-the-box Control
For out-of-the box control, the CONEX-CC 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.
