Motorized Rotation Stage, NSR1, CONEX-PP Integrated Controller

The CONEX-NSR1, with an integrated iPP stepper motor controller, is an economical and versatile rotary positioner for use as a filter wheel, a neutral density rotator, polarized optic rotator, flipper mount or basic rotation platform. It features a 1" threaded aperture, retaining ring and internal reference surface for 25.4 mm optics, a 1-° step resolution, and up to 120 °/s speed. The NSR1 serves as a base unit, and can be used as a rotator for 25.4 mm optics.
Accessories are also available, including a filter wheel (NSFW-1) for up to 8 - 25.4 mm optics, a 127 mm diameter variable ND filter adapter (NSND), a tooling plate (NSTP-1) featuring an array of tapped holes, and a unique set of adapters to transform the rotator into a motorized flipper mount (NSFM-1).

Power Supply and cables are sold separately.

Compact Controller and Stage

In terms of size, the CONEX-CC controller is comparable to a deck of cards. Depending on the motor type, up to 3 CONEX-PP or 6 CONEX-CC can fit on a CONEX-BP baseplate. Both controller and stage are compact and ideal for space-confined or access-limited applications. Newport also offers the stand alone version of these Low Profile Rotation Stages.

Scalable Architecture

The CONEX rotation units can be connected via daisy chain to create either multi-axis DC systems or multi-axis PP 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. Additionally, analog and digital inputs can be implemented into the controller through the CONEX-IOD.

Out-of-the-box Control

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.

Linear Amplifier in DC Units

The 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.
