Piezo Motor Controllers and Amplifiers

Empowering Precision: Nanomotion Amplifiers for Advanced Motor Control

Nanomotion offers a wide range of single axis amplifiers to support motor operation in positioning applications. All amplifiers accept +/-10v analog input from any servo controller, with some models supporting an SPI interface. 

Amplifier configurations support input voltage from 12v, 24v, and 48v depending on the motor configuration and different versions support unique operating features such as DC mode.

Nanomotion Controllers and Amplifiers

Nanomotion’s Standard Drivers and Controllers are critical to a wide array of applications that demand precision and reliability in motion control. These products cater to industries such as commercial and defense optronics, biomedical systems, and semiconductor manufacturing, seamlessly integrating into systems with single-axis or multi-axis configurations. With features like analog input compatibility and SPI interface support, they offer flexibility for various tasks—from delicate positioning in medical devices to rigorous operations in industrial environments.

Supporting input voltages from 12V to 48V and offering unique modes like DC functionality, these solutions are designed to meet the diverse challenges of advanced motion control applications.

AB1A Driver AmplifierNanomotion Controllers and Amplifiers

Manual

The AB1A amplifier is a single axis digital driver that can run one or multiple Nanomotion motors in parallel. While operating in a closed loop servo system, the driver works as a velocity amplifier, receiving a +/- 10 volt analog command from the controller. The controller signal translates into AC voltage at 39.6 kHz to run the motor. In an open loop mode the amplifier can receive a signal from an external joystick, providing motion in a continuous or stepping mode.

XCD Series ControllersNanomotion Controllers and Amplifiers

Nanomotion’s XCD is an OEM amplifier & Control board designed for applications using the Edge, Edge-4X and HR series motors. The board level product replaces traditional amplifiers and the servo controller with a small single axis board. The XCD is offered two basic configurations; to support the low voltage Edge motor series and the high voltage HR motor series. Both configurations are programmed via IIC and accept quadrature encoder inputs. (Some XCD applications may be supported by a box level controller that can house up to 4 axes of motion control)
