Control Systems | Motion Controls | Ensemble

The Ensemble control system can control any Aerotech brushless, brush, or stepper motors or positioning stages in any combination and both PWM and linear drives are available. It offers easy to use, affordable multi-axis motion programming for laboratory experimentation, production testing, or advanced OEM automated manufacturing systems.

The versatile Ensemble offers three methods for stand-alone, multi-axis motion control:

• Option 1: Use the Ensemble Epaq with integrated drives to control up to six axes for desktop or rack-mount applications
• Option 2: Use a distributed network of panel-mounted Ensemble drives to provide up to ten axes of synchronized motion
• Option 3: Use the Ensemble Epaq and add three Ensemble panel-mounted external drives for up to nine axes of motion control

With the Ensemble stand-alone controller, up to ten axes of synchronized motion are offered in a distributed network of panel-mounted drives. This is excellent for applications where drives must be embedded into a machine at various locations or where panel space is at a premium. For desktop and rack-mount installations, the Ensemble is offered in a stand-alone 6-axis unit with integrated drives. Three additional panel-mounted linear or PWM drives may be added externally to the six-axis unit for up to nine axes of motion control.
