Zaber Technologies Spotlights the T-LA - Linear Actuator Series

Posted Aug 19 2008
Filed under: Actuator Linear Actuator

Zaber is proud to spotlight its T-LA - Linear Actuator Series. The T-LA series of computer controlled linear actuators has been Zaber's flagship product since its development a decade ago.

Overview of T-LA (linear actuator) series:

0.1 um resolution Built in controllers Daisy-chain multiple units to a single serial or USB port Drop in replacement for many standard micrometer heads on manual translation stages (see our TSB Linear Stages page for compatible translation stages) CE certified and RoHS compliant

History of the Zaber linear actuator:

In 1997, when Zaber was founded, electric linear actuators were primarily based on DC motors with gearboxes and encoders requiring complicated motion control cards, bulky controllers, and separate driver amplifiers and power supplies. Precision motion control was expensive, difficult to set up, and cumbersome to use. Recognizing the demand for an inexpensive, integrated solution, Zaber Technologies introduced the T-LA, the world's first precision linear actuator based on a direct drive stepper motor with all communications and control electronics integrated in one small package. Other novel features include the ability to daisy-chain multiple actuators and to manually control each actuator via a built-in control knob while monitoring the position on a connected computer.

About Zaber:

Since 1997, Zaber has added over 120 products to its family of precision motion control and laboratory automation devices including linear actuators, linear slides, motorized x-y-z stages, rotation stages, motorized mirror mounts, and micro-stepping motor controllers. More information on Zaber is available on Zaber's website.
