The economical FCL Series linear stages feature a built-in, fully integrated, plug-and-play stepper motor controller to provide travel ranges of 50, 100 or 200 mm in a small footprint while maintaining high precision. Users need only plug in the stage's power supply and connect it to a PC with FC Series Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to begin motion.
Built-in stepper motor controller with iPP™ technology, eliminating any motor cables and driver setup
Fully pre-configured with USB communication and enables out-of-the-box control
Up to 4 FC units can be daisy-chained and controlled via RS-422 with one GUI, or more units via USB hub
Most economical stage and controller available without compromising minimum incremental motion
Built-in stepper motor controller with iPP technology
Example of a multi-axis configuration. Note that FC-PS40 power supply and USB-RS422-1.8 adapter cable must be purchased separately.
The FCL's design brings together a linear stage with a built-in controller and driver for easy integration. Not only is the controller pre-configured with intelligent stepper motor technology, iPP, but the stage is also ready for plug-and-play via USB connection. The built-in controller eliminates the need for an external controller and cables, thus saving work-space and cost.
Daisy-Chain up to 4 FC units
Example of a daisy-chaining configuration. Note that FC-PS40 power supply, FC-CB1 communication cable, and USB-RS422-1.8 adapter cable must be purchased separately.
With an RS-422 interface, the FC series is equipped to easily daisy-chain and synchronize communication with up to 4 stages. All 4 axes can be controlled within one GUI.
FEM-Optimized Aluminum Body
The optimized aluminum body allows for extreme stiffness and minimizes bi-metal bending without compromising weight. The rigid body reduces deflection under load.
Metrology Report Included at No Additional Cost
Newport guarantees specification values which are measured and recorded following ASME B5.57 and ISO 230-2 standards. The typical performance values are two times better than the guaranteed specifications.
