Motorised Micropositioners
Most of the Ealing range of Manual Micropositioners can be fitted with
either MotorDrivers™ or EncoderDrivers™, providing motorised sub-micrometer control of the stage at low cost. They simply replace the normal manual micrometer head fitted to the stage. MotorDrivers allow remote control of a stage when used in conjunction with a MotorDriver Control Unit and suitable Power Supply. They can also improve the resolution of a linear stage, resolving 0.1 micron for one press of the
control button.
EncoderDrivers convert a manual stage to a computer-programmable micropositioner capable of sub-micrometer resolution. Up to eight stages with EncoderDrivers may be controlled from a PC with one Drive Card and eight Plug-In Modules installed.
Stage compatibility data for MotorDrivers and EncoderDrivers is given in the individual stage information.

MotorDrivers
The MotorDriver system provides a simple and economic method of motorising the Ealing range of Manual Micropositioners. These motorised actuators are similar in size and shape to the Starrett and Mitutoyo micrometers found on many manual positioning stages, making conversion from manual to motorised operation simple.

Zaber's T-CD stepper controllers are stand alone units requiring only a standard 12-36 V unregulated AC/DC transformer for power. Multiple unit can be daisy-chained to single RS-232 serial port or USB port on any computer.
MORE INFORMATIONEncoderDrivers
The EncoderDriver actuator system provides a simple economic method of fully automating up to 8 axes of movement by simply replacing the manual micrometers on the micropositioning stages. Similar in size and shape to manual micrometers, these precision actuators make conversion from manual easy.
