Key features
Pollux
is the most compact positioning controller in this power class worldwide. Its application in domains like microscopy and precision positioning provides an indication of the performance data of this controller: high resolution, low power dissipation, high constant velocity with low running noise.
Positioning
Pollux is a positioning controller. Two positioning modes are possible: a given absolute or relative position or a given velocity and direction.
Resolution
The axis modules are equipped with a 16 bit DSP that can compute position input down to 1nm. After that, the signal is transformed into a rotor angle.
Programming
The program-controlled operation is realised via the command language Venus-2
Programming support
To support the software developer, a free API (function library) with different sample programs is available. It supports all functions of the controller.
Operation program
We provide the program "motion manager" to operate the controller. |
