AMC300

piezo motion controller for AN* series positioners

The AMC300 is attocube’s motion controller for the AN* series positioners. The integrated feedback loop for resistive encoders enables closed loop operation at ambient and vacuum, as well as cryogenic conditions.

Apart from a tabletop version with one to three axes, 19” versions for up to 30 axes have been designed for integration into racks. An integrated touchscreen, a browser-based software, as well as a webserver application and the wireless DS4 remote controller further enhance the device's usability.
