Piezo Drive for Coordinated Motion

Aerotech offers digital, panel-mount Piezo Drive for Coordinated Motion between piezo stages and servo axes. The Ndrive QLe is a family of digital, panel-mount, nanopositioning piezo drives for use with the Aerotech Automation 3200 (A3200) motion controller. The A3200 is the controller of choice in semiconductor, data storage, medical device manufacturing, laser processing, and metrology applications. The Ndrive QLe drives enable coordinated motion between piezo stages and servo axes at much higher rates than other controller/drive products. Featuring a dual-core 456 MHz, double-precision, floating-point DSP, the QLe drives provide extreme processing power in applications including point-to-point motion, linear and circular interpolation, multi-axis error correction, and autofocusing. High-speed interrupts and data logging provide a real-time link to external systems. High-speed position latching and single-axis or multi-axis position synchronised output (PSO) generate pulses based on actual position feedback for applications ranging from laser firing to data acquisition system triggering. Real-time distributed control architecture allows synchronized motion control on up to 32 axes of piezo and/or servomotor stages.
