MM3000 In Stock

The Newport MM3000 is a Stand-Alone Integrated Motion Controller/Driver that can effectively control and drive up to four axes of motion within a stepper or DC motor combination. Users can execute standard operations within their motion control systems through a variety of interfaces and input devices. The optical front panel of the MM3000 features dedicated displays and push-buttons for each axis, simplifying basic motion sequences. The device's display provides real-time displacement measurements in user-selected units and facilitates menu-driven adjustments to various system parameters without using a computer.

The MM3000 can be linked to a host computer via an IEEE488 or RS-232C interface, eliminating the need for manual control via the front panel. An optional handheld keypad offers full access to the device's command set without the requirement of a computer. This device can manage up to four stages concurrently and can be governed by a remote controller. Its digital I/Os permit event triggering, while the remote "Motor Off" switch allows operators to halt remote motions at their discretion. To enhance positioning precision and repeatability, the MM3000 offers features such as linear error and backlash compensation, closed-loop micro-stepping, and automatic power cutoff in the event of an error. This device seamlessly integrates with compatible precision motion mechanics, simplifying system configuration.

The MM3000 is an optimal choice for an array of applications, including test and measurement, automated optical alignment, laser micro-ablation, scanning microscopy, wafer inspection, micro-probing, and other tasks demanding precise point-to-point motion control for complex multi-axis operations. It includes a hand-held keypad for local motion programming without the front panel display or computer interfacing, as well as a 4-axis joystick for manual control of direction and speed. Additionally, a standard 10-bit, 8-channel A/D interface facilitates easy plug-in attachment for the joystick and external analog signal processing. Facilitating communication management, the MM3000 automatically detects and reads all active data ports. Its distinctive features encompass distributed processor architecture, real-time high-speed command processing, a comprehensive library of over 100 powerful commands catering to the most demanding applications, and motion program storage in a non-volatile memory capacity of 25 kB.
