Technical details and manufacturing context for Controller & Drive System
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rated Power | 0.5–2.0 kW | Depends on machine size and axis configuration |
| Supply Voltage | 220–380 V AC | Three-phase or single-phase depending on modelIEC 60038 |
| Positioning Accuracy | ±0.5–±2.0 µm | Critical for measurement repeatabilityISO 10360-2 |
| Maximum Speed | 300–800 mm/s | Higher speed reduces measurement time but may affect accuracy |

Manufacturer profiles associated with Controller & Drive System.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
It controls the precise movement of the probe along the X, Y, and Z axes, executing programmed measurement paths to collect dimensional data from workpieces.
Encoders or linear scales provide real-time position feedback, allowing the controller to correct deviations from the commanded position, minimizing errors and ensuring repeatability.
Servo motors for high precision and dynamic performance, or stepper motors for cost-sensitive applications. The choice depends on the required accuracy and budget.
Key parameters include rated power, supply voltage, positioning accuracy, maximum speed, acceleration, operating temperature, humidity, ingress protection, control interface, motor type, and weight. Always confirm with the manufacturer.
