Description:
The MC1000e-1 is a simple push-button controller with submicron positioning capability that is
compatible with our RSAi, 100cri, 200cri, 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators, and
stages.
The MC1000e-1 controller has two preset speed settings: rapid (1.7 mm/second) and medium
(300 μm/second). The third speed selector (slow) has a variable 330° potentiometer that
enables settings from high speed (50 μm/second) to low speed (2 μm/second). With the speed
selector set at the slowest settings consistent 0.2 μm moves are easily made by the simple
bump of an axis button. The controller uses encoder feedback from the motor to drive the
device. This encoder coupling enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for repeated
positioning requirements.
The MC1000e-1 uses a universal switching power supply adapter as its source for clean DC
power. All cables are shielded and a central ground lug is located on the junction box to ensure
noise-free operation during sensitive electrophysiology experiments.
