Manufacturer: Newport — USA
Overview
The user-friendly, 3-axis ESP302 controllers simplify motion control with their plug-and-play feature, convenient front panel interface, integrated drivers, and easy-to-use software. Research labs find the ESP302 controllers advantageous and convenient, suitable even for light-industrial applications. The controllers integrate up to three drivers supporting 2-phase stepper or brush DC motors up to 3 A, 48 V per axis.
Integrated Drivers
The ESP302 controllers feature up to three integrated drivers for various stages, supporting 2-phase stepper or brush DC motors up to 3 A, 48 V per axis. Built-in drivers make the ESP302 a space-saving and cost-effective choice.
User-Friendly Front Panel
The ESP302 includes an LCD touch-screen front panel interface providing an intuitive menu system to execute motion programs, initiate manual moves, and configure operating parameters. Positions for all axes are displayed, allowing users to perform nearly all functions without connecting to a computer.
Plug-and-Play with ESP Compatible Stages
When an ESP-compatible stage is connected to the ESP302 controller, the stage is quickly recognized and operating parameters are configured without the need for user input. This feature is transparent to the user and ensures safe operation of the stage.
Functional Motion Capabilities
The ESP302 controllers include a variety of motion capabilities including slaving, jogging, point-to-point, grouping, trapezoidal and S-curve velocity profiles, backlash compensation, and linear compensation.
