Toepassingen

Aansturing via cryostaatbekabeling

Compenseer de kabelcapaciteit en demping van een lange run naar een koude omgeving.

Closed-loop bedrijf bij lage temperatuur

Lees cryogene positiesensoren en servo daarop, waar de piëzo-respons met temperatuur verandert.

Gecoördineerde meerassige stapels

Sequenceer grove en fijne assen vanuit één controller zodat een benaderingsroutine onbemand kan draaien.

Specifying this part

What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it

Match the controller to the drive type

MC-NewtonLT drives coarse inertial stages (Linear, Rotator, Goniometer) in 1- and 6-channel versions over USB and RS232. MC-ArchimedesLT drives scanners with sub-millivolt output noise. Only the .03.Ultra closes a capacitive loop, sampling at 50 kSa/s over EtherCAT, EtherNET or USB 3.0.

Automation

LabVIEW, C++ and Python APIs are supplied, so the stage can be sequenced from the same script that runs the measurement rather than driven by hand between points.

Heat load at the cold plate

Stick-slip inertial drives dissipate energy per step and draw no holding current once stopped, so the steady-state load on the mixing chamber is the wiring loom rather than the motor. Anchor the loom at each temperature stage and thermalise the moving body with an FTC copper braid.

Non-magnetic construction

Titanium bodies and BeCu fasteners throughout, rated for operation to 35 T and down to 30 mK with the .ULT option, at 2 × 10⁻¹¹ mbar with .UHV. A single steel screw substituted at installation is enough to compromise a high-field assembly.
