Digital Servo Driver DC3000 Plus
Description
The DC3000 Plus Digital Servo Driver from Cambridge Technology, a Novanta brand, is engineered for ultra-fast, high-precision scanning in photonics and laser-based systems. Designed for demanding applications such as micromachining, additive manufacturing, and marking, this dual-axis servo driver integrates simulation-based pre-filtering and state-space control to ensure optimal motion performance and reliability.
Equipped with patented self-calibration technology and an onboard processor, the DC3000 Plus calibrates system components automatically at startup, reducing manufacturing costs and improving uptime. Its compact design with flexible mounting options, low-profile connectors, and broad power compatibility (±15 to ±28VDC) ensures seamless integration into tight spaces and complex optical assemblies.
Featuring a high-speed XY2-100 serial digital input and capable of delivering up to 20 A peak current per axis, this driver enables precise beam steering and superior response rates. Designed for minimal dither (4 µrad RMS) and ultra-low noise operation, the DC3000 Plus is fully optimized for use with Cambridge Technology’s galvanometers and scanning solutions.
