Burleigh 6100-1-1-1-3 1-Axis Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 6100-1-1-1-3 is a single-axis Inchworm controller that delivers precise, repeatable motion control through sophisticated PZT drive electronics. This unit generates the voltage, current, and timing signals required for rapid actuation of Inchworm motor drive elements, combining high-speed operation with nanometer-scale positioning resolution. The controller supports both open and closed-loop operation modes and can function independently or in multi-axis configurations, accommodating diverse integration requirements across research and industrial applications.
