Features

  • Control unit for fast and precise stepper motor control
  • Control pendant with displays for all three moving axes

The control unit powers up to three stepper motors as used for the TBA phantom tanks and other TBA scanning devices. Positioning commands from a computer are transmitted via the RS232 interface. The minimum step size of the detector movement is 0.1 mm, and the maximum moving speed is 50 mm/s. Up to five different coordinate systems can be stored in a non-volatile memory for the 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional phantom tanks as well as for the PLEXITOM device and the SLA48 2D air scanner.

A removable control pendant may be connected to the control unit or to the phantom tank, enabling the stepper motors of up to three moving axes to be operated manually. The pendant features a bright display showing all three directions with a resolution of 0.1 mm each. It makes it possible to set the limits of detector movement and the coordinate origin.
