General Description:
Small but powerful
The newest addition to National Aperture’s family of electronics is the MC-CQ DC-Servo Motion Controller/Amplifier.


The MC-CQ is RoHS and CE compliant.


This small package contains not only a single-axis motion controller for use with our motorized stages, but also an amplifier and a user-friendly Serial Interface.

Each single-axis controller can be linked to multiple Control Units for an integratedmulti-axis Motion Control system by utilizing the optional 2,4,8 or 16 port RS-232-to-USB Expansion Module (Plug 'n Play).

When combined with National Aperture's "IMS Motion Console Software" users receive a "no-development-required" complete Motion Control system for up to four axes.

Your purchase will include an easy to use Software Application Development Interface,
RS-232 serial cable.
