Burleigh 6000ULN 1-Axis Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 6000ULN is a single-axis Inchworm controller engineered for ultra-low noise, open-loop positioning of Burleigh Inchworm motors. It delivers nanometer-scale resolution over millimeters of continuous travel with zero backlash or leadscrew error. The controller operates via manual handset/joystick control or remote TTL and RS-232 automation, making it ideal for applications where external systems manage position feedback.
