Burleigh 6000-1-0-1-1 1-Axis Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 6000-1-0-1-1 is a single-axis Inchworm controller engineered for precision piezoelectric actuator control in high-resolution positioning applications. This model delivers high-speed motion while maintaining submicron accuracy through selectable open-loop or closed-loop operation. Open-loop configuration provides TTL-based motor control without position feedback, ideal for straightforward drive applications. Closed-loop systems incorporate encoder feedback, enabling step-size programming, position display, zero-point establishment, target positioning, and active position holding.
