Description

Zaber's X-GSM-E Series represents a breakthrough in simplifying motion control with its innovative design and compact form factor. These computer-controlled, motorized goniometers are equipped with a built-in controller and motor encoder, making them a streamlined solution for precise angular positioning. Designed for ease of use, the X-GSM-E Series requires only a standard 48 V power supply, ensuring straightforward setup and operation. The inclusion of an indexed knob offers convenient manual control, providing versatility for users who prefer hands-on operation without a computer interface.

The X-GSM-E Series is engineered to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems. These stages connect effortlessly to the RS-232 or USB ports of any computer, and they can be daisy-chained with other Zaber products. This daisy-chain capability not only simplifies connectivity but also allows multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply, minimizing clutter and power requirements. The robust, locking 4-pin M8 connectors ensure secure connections between units, enhancing reliability in demanding applications.

With a low profile and small footprint, the X-GSM-E Series is ideal for setups where space is at a premium. These stages can be mounted to a flat surface or stacked together, offering a common center of rotation for two axes of angular motion. This flexibility makes them perfect for applications requiring precise and compact motion control solutions. As with all Zaber products, the X-GSM-E Series is designed for 'plug and play' operation, ensuring that users can quickly and easily integrate these devices into their workflows without extensive setup or configuration.
