AL-48062 AL-48063
This popular series of high performance, easy-to-operate, programmable six axis positioner
controllers provide manual front panel or remote control of rotary and linear positioners
manufactured by ORBIT/FR (or equivalent third party positioners that incorporate shunt wound
or permanent magnet brush DC motors, 50/60/400 Hz synchros, or encoders).
Optional interfaces are available for position transducers such as absolute encoders, Inductosyn
®
,
and inclinometers. The AL-48060 series controllers can be purchased in three confi gurations.
AL-48060’s digital servo loop provides advanced remote and local control while maintaining a simple human
interface for manual operation. Position transducer and velocity type can be individually confi gured for each
axis. These units are capable of driving a total of six axes sequentially, one axis at a time.
