Burleigh 7000-1-1 Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 7000-1-1 Inchworm Controller is a precision motion control instrument engineered to drive and command Inchworm motors with high resolution and speed. It delivers sophisticated PZT drive electronics that generate the precise voltage, current, and timing required for rapid, accurate actuation of piezoelectric motor elements. The controller operates up to three axes independently or simultaneously, supporting both open-loop and closed-loop positioning modes to meet diverse application requirements.
