AMC300
piezo motion controller for ANP series positioners
The AMC300 is attocube’s motion controller for the ANP positioner series. The integrated feedback loop for resistive encoders enables closed loop operation at ambient and vacuum, as well as cryogenic conditions.
Apart from a tabletop version with one to three axes, 19” versions for up to 30 axes have been designed for integration into racks. An integrated touchscreen, a browser-based software, as well as a webserver application and the wireless DS4 remote controller further enhance the device's usability.
