Servo Controller ProductsNEMA 34 Servo Motor by QuickSilver $465 (500pc $372)  QuickSilver Controls, Inc. expands its line of brushless AC servo motors with the QCI-A34M-1. This is the least expensive 34 frame motor designed to run on the SilverNugget N3 servo motor controller/driver. ...More >> Compact Low Profile Gripper, GRP17 Series for QC Measuring and Parts Handling by SMAC  The GRP17 has been developed to provide a compact low profile gripper which provides high performance in a small package size. The unit has a stroke length of 5mm per jaw and encoder resolution options of 5, 1 or 0.5 micron. The low moving mass, coupled to zero backlash and low hysteresis provides you with the capacity to perform very high speed moves within tightly defined performance envelopes. Due to the high degree of accuracy and repeatability the unit is especially useful for QC measuring while parts are being handled, making it ideal for inline QC inspection.

Servo Motor Controller with DMX512x  QuickSilver Controls adds the DMX512 serial protocol to its SilverDust™ line of servo motor controllers. This popular entertainment industry standard (ETSA E1.11-2004) allows a master show controller to broadcast a packet of information up to 44 times per second (250K baud) over an RS-485 line. The DMX frame contains 512 bytes or "Slots" of data to control such things as lighting dimmers, fog machines, and now QuickSilver’s servo motors. Each piece of equipment is pre-configured to only receive data from its Slot. Therefore, all the show elements are synchronized. Multiple DMX Slots can be “mapped” to multiple servo controller registers. Since the SilverDust is a programmable motor controller, the data can be used for anything.

QuickSilver Makes Joystick Control Easy  QuickSilver Controls, Inc., line of controller/drivers for servo control of NEMA 17, 23 and 34 frame stepmotors accommodates a simple analog joystick input to control position, velocity or torque. Joysticks are useful for augmenting complex motion control systems for such things as computerized microscopes and vision systems. On the fly, the controller can switch from joystick control to automated control. An example would be using the joystick to pan around a product, pressing the button at several “interesting” points. The controller would be able to memorize these points and move back to them latter for a more detailed inspection.

QuickSilver Adds CAN to the SilverDust  QuickSilver Controls, Inc., adds CAN bus to its SilverDust™ IGB servo motion controller/driver for servo control of NEMA 17 and 23 frame stepmotors. The CANopen compatible interface is fully isolated and supports up to 64 devices on the 1MB bus. The addition of CANopen enhances the motion controller’s unique ability to servo microstep motors by allowing one servo to modify the motion of another servo. CANopen may be used to interface to other CANopen products (Master or Slave) or as a “local” bus for peer-to-peer register sharing for such things as encoder position, velocity, torque and I/O. The motion controller’s serial port (RS232 or RS485) is still available for interface to a host such as a PLC, HMI or PC.

PI Offers Affordable Nanopositioning Controllers  Nanopositioning specialist PI introduces a new, affordable high-performance, modular controller for piezo-driven nanopositioning systems. Digital & Analog Interfaces The E-621.CR controller boasts high-bandwidth analog and networkable digital interfaces. This high-performance controller integrates a low-noise piezo power amplifier, a high-speed servo controller and sensor electronics for absolute-measuring capacitive nanopositioning sensors. For exceptional position stability and resolution, precision 20-bit A/D and D/A converters are incorporated. Flexible: 1 to 12 Axis Configurations The E-621 can be operated as a stand-alone system or plugged into an available chassis with up to 12 slots for multi-axis applications. The modular design allows for easy and cost-effective expansion by adding one additional channel at a time. It is best suited for automated applications comprising several independent motion axes, such as XY line scans combined with nanofocusing devices.
