C-880
Multi-Axis Automation-Platform
  • Scalable for Rapidly Changing Requirements
  • Seamless Control of up to 18 Axes (PZT NanoPositioners, Servo-Motor Stages, Voice-Coil Drives, Piezo Linear Motors)
  • Integrated High-Level Command Set Performs Scans, Alignments, etc.
  • Convenient System Configuration Allows for Plug-and-Play Operation
  • All Required Controllers and Drivers Built into One Rack-Mountable 19" Chassis
  • Wide Range of Add-On Accessories (I/O Cards, Optical Metrology Cards, Manual Control...)
  • Optional IEEE 488 Interface for Easy Networking
  • Software Libraries and High-Level Drivers
  • Powerful Macro Command Language





Flexibility from the Ground up
The new C-880 is a versatile, multi-axis control platform for complex automation tasks ranging from photonics alignment and packaging to biotech applications. Based on a rugged, high-performance industrial PC, it offers the flexibility required in today's demanding and rapidly changing prototyping and production processes. Several basic versions and upgrades are available to coordinate combinations of up to 18 channels of servo motorized, voice-coil, piezo motor or piezo flexure Micro- and NanoPositioning stages. Other options include optical power meter cards for fully automated fiber alignment, a front panel display and keyboard for easy stand-alone operation and a manual control pad for convenient prepositioning.

Convenient Interfacing
Control of the C-880 is facilitated by the controller's software architecture, which provides a variety of high-level commands for minimized communications bandwidth overhead. Other C-880 features include:

  • Integrated Scan & Automatic Alignment Functions
  • Powerful Macro Command Language
  • LabView™ Drivers and DLL Libraries
  • Terminal Software
  • Configuration Software

Easy Operation, Configuration and Upgrade
All C-880s are delivered fully configured to your requirements and are ready to run your positioning equipment. The sophisticated firmware allows seamless operation of different kinds of positioners.

With the newly developed configuration engine, changing the setup is as easy as drag-and-drop. It allows you to upgrade the system at any time, change the assignment of the individual axes and replace or add controller cards. Firmware upgrades can also be carried out on-site without any hardware changes.
