Burleigh 7000-1-0 Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 7000-1-0 Inchworm Controller is a precision motion control device that commands one to three Burleigh Inchworm motor axes independently or simultaneously. It delivers the voltage, current, and timing signals required for rapid actuation through sophisticated PZT drive electronics, supporting both open-loop manual operation and closed-loop feedback control with encoder counting circuitry.

Technical Specifications

Axes of Control: One to three axes, independently or simultaneously

Control Modes: Open-loop (without feedback) and closed-loop (with encoder feedback)

Resolution: Nanometer-level precision; Inchworm motors achieve 4 nm mechanical resolution

Speed: Manual handset control: 4–40 nm/sec; overall speed determined by motor inertia and driver output capability

Motor Compatibility: Burleigh Inchworm 700, LTS, and LTO series motors

Key Features

PZT drive electronics optimize voltage, current, and timing for actuator performance

Closed-loop operation enables step size programming, position display, zero-point setting, stepping, and position maintenance

Manual control via handset (e.g., Burleigh 6005) or joystick (e.g., Burleigh 7003)

TTL signal input for automated control sequences

RS-232 remote operation capability

Optional PC interface support via Burleigh Model 671 ISA PC card for multi-controller systems controlling up to nine motors (three controllers × three motors)

Typical Applications Precision positioning, scanning, and alignment tasks requiring nanometer-level repeatability and high-speed operation across single or multi-axis configurations.

Compatibility & Integration Designed exclusively for Burleigh Inchworm motors. Integrates with standard accessories including handsets, joysticks, and optional ISA-based PC control cards for expanded system configurations.
