Description

Zaber's X-GSM Series represents a breakthrough in motion control technology, offering a compact and efficient solution for precision angular positioning. These motorized goniometers are designed with a built-in controller, making them stand-alone units that require only a standard 48 V power supply. This innovative design simplifies setup and operation, ensuring that users can enjoy a seamless experience without the need for additional components or complicated wiring.

The X-GSM Series is engineered for versatility and ease of use. An indexed knob provides convenient manual control, allowing for operation even without a computer. This feature, combined with the ability to connect to the RS-232 or USB port of any computer, ensures that the X-GSM Series can be easily integrated into a variety of setups. Additionally, these devices can be daisy-chained with other Zaber products, sharing both power and data through secure locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors. This capability not only reduces clutter but also enhances the flexibility of the system, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

Designed with a low profile and small footprint, the X-GSM Series is perfect for environments where space is limited. The stages can be mounted to a flat surface or stacked together to enable two axes of angular motion about a common center of rotation. This makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring precise and compact motion control solutions. True to Zaber's commitment to quality and user-friendliness, the X-GSM Series is 'plug and play,' ensuring that users can quickly and easily deploy the system in their operations.
