MC-Newton.MSx Piezo Controller
Modular multi-channel piezo motor controller supporting 1 to 10 independent drive channels for multi-axis room-temperature stick-slip stages. Each channel delivers 0–75 V output with up to 30 W drive power (100 W total system power) and supports closed-loop operation with incremental optical encoders. Features front-panel manual navigation buttons, USB, Ethernet, RS-485, optional EtherCAT connectivity, 0–10 V analog inputs, and SMA TTL hardware trigger I/O.
