SQ-2300 Drive Electronics

Bench top controller for SQUIGGLE motors

Compact bench top drivers generate the ultrasonic signals that drive the piezoelectric devices in SQUIGGLE motors and closed-loop stages. Each SQ-2300 controller drives one motor. Multiple SQ-2300 controllers can be driven simultaneously from a single computer screen using the software provided. Alternatively, the SQ-2306 drives up to six motors in multiplexed sequence for multi-axis, “set-and-hold” positioning. When used with a bench top controller, each SQUIGGLE motor has a “smart” connector that stores the motor’s optimum drive parameters. These parameters are downloaded to the controller. The controller sends drive signals to the motor based on the input you provide from a PC, analog input, or manual handset. The controller can also accept input from position sensors for closed-loop motion control. Control the SQUIGGLE motor’s motion using one of these methods: SQ-2300 drive electronics with SQ-2301 manual handset. Computer control – connect the drive electronics to your PC through a USB port or hub. The new ActiveX command library makes operation easier than ever: Call ActiveX commands from the New Scale application or third-party software such as LabVIEW. Or build custom scripts using the intuitive scripting interface. Analog control – a 0 volt to 3.3 volt input command corresponds to +/- the maximum velocity. Manual control –use the optional handset. Software provides point-and-click PC control via USB port. The ActiveX command library includes commands for open-loop and closed-loop operation.
