Overview

Agilis Piezo Motion Controllers provide convenient and compact fine positioning control of the Agilis family of piezo motion stages and mounts. An Agilis optical mount is driven by two piezo motors, whereas an Agilis linear or rotation stage is driven by a single piezo motor. OEM versions are also available for integration directly into customer equipment.

Hand-Held 2-Axis Piezo Motion Controller

The Agilis AG-UC2 controller provides convenient push button remote control and USB computer control for two Agilis axes. Power is supplied through the USB port, and a virtual GUI allows the user to mimic remote operation of the controller buttons through the computer.

Compact 8-Axis Piezo Motion Controller

The Agilis AG-UC8 piezo motion controller provides USB computer control of up to 8 Agilis axes, with power supplied through the same USB port used for communication. Two holes in the controller allow stacking of several controllers and attachment to optical tables.

OEM Versions

The AG-UC2-OEM 2-axis controller is designed to be integrated into OEM equipment by mounting directly onto a printed circuit board, while the AG-UC8PC 8-axis controller provides the same features as the AG-UC8 as a PC card with RS-232 and RS-485 communication.

LabVIEW and Windows DLL Support

For greater flexibility and custom programming, Windows DLL, LabVIEW VIs, and ASCII commands are provided for all controller functions.
