Burleigh 6100-2-2-1-4 2-Axis Inchworm Controller

The Burleigh 6100-2-2-1-4 is a 2-axis Inchworm controller engineered for precision linear motion control across demanding positioning applications. It delivers sophisticated PZT drive electronics that generate the voltage, current, and timing signals required for rapid actuation of piezoelectric drive elements, enabling high-speed operation without sacrificing resolution. The controller operates from one to three axes independently or simultaneously in both open-loop and closed-loop control modes.

Manual operation is supported via handset or joystick interfaces, while remote operation leverages TTL signals or RS-232 protocols for integration into larger automation frameworks. The programmable architecture provides engineers with flexible motion control without the complexity of external timing circuits.
