scalable architecture across the family of the positioners, keeping a common design and as many common
components as possible.
Positioners are comprised of:
•
Aluminum Housings

The PD series precision positioner assembly is one component of the Quasonix family of products. The positioner
will work as a standalone assembly, although when paired with the entire family of Quasonix components, the full
feature set and tracking capabilities can be achieved.
