The MACx is a programmable microstepping drive that can be configured with 2,4,6,8 or 10 drive channels. The standard interface is USB, but IEEE-488 can be fitted as an option. These units are compatible with our wide range of motorised linear and rotary stages, filter wheels and all of our monochromators that do not have an internal drive.

A compact 2-channel microstepping drive unit, the PMC-MAC is functionally equivalent to a MAC2 but cannot be expanded with additional channels.

This unit controls the grating and filter wheel in our M300, or any two size-23 motors. With a built-in IEEE(GP-IB) interface and straightforward command set, the PMC3B provides an effective interface between computer and monochromator. The same unit is equally at home in other applications requiring stepping motor control. A PMC3B and two of our T300(x) translation stages can be assembled quickly and cost-effectively into a fully programmable x,y stage.
