Servo Controller & Driver System

The MC-5CD is the newest addition to NAI's family of DC Servo Motor Motion Controllers and Amplifiers.

Each of the four axes includes both a 10 pin IDC and a 9 pin Mini DIN interface providing connectivity of motor drive, encoders and limit switches for plug-in compatibility with National Aperture's MicroMini™ stages.

Integrated Motion Controller and Amplifier utilizing the Galil software package.

The MC-5CD incorporates a Galil DMC-4143 Motor Controller providing four axes of closed Loop control for DC Brush type motors with AB quadrature encoders. It is designed to be controlled via USB or high speed Ethernet.

The controller may be either bench/desktop or rack mounted and has a wide input range of 90-264 Vac, 47-63 Hz.

MC-5CD is RoHS and CE compliant.
