Nanomotion offers a wide range of single axis amplifiers to support piezoelectric motor operation in positioning applications. All amplifiers accept +/-10v analogue input from any servo controller, with some models supporting an SPI interface. Amplifier configurations support input voltages of 12v, 24v, and 48v depending on the motor configuration and different versions support unique operating features such as DC mode.
AB1A Driver Amplifier
The AB1A amplifier is a single axis digital driver that can run one or multiple Nanomotion motors in parallel. While operating in a closed loop servo system, the driver works as a velocity amplifier, receiving a +/- 10 Volt analogue command from the controller. The controller signal translates into AC voltage at 39.6 kHz to run the motor. In an open loop mode the amplifier can receive a signal from an external joystick, providing motion in a continuous or stepping mode.

AB7 Driver
The AB7 amplifier is a single axis driver that can support up to 32 elements (up to 4 x HR8 or 4 x SE8 motors). The AB7 is designed to operate in a closed loop environment with an external motion controller closing the position loop and commanding the AB7 via +/-10v analog input. The AB7 supports ALL of the Nanomotion modes of operation, ranging from the standard AB1A mode, the linear AB5 mode, the low speed UHR mode and the ultra high resolution DC mode. All modes are user selectable. The AB7 supports all HR motor configurations and all SE motor configurations up to 32 elements.

XCD Series Controllers
Nanomotion’s XCD is an OEM amplifier & control board designed for applications using the EDGE, EDGE-4X and HR Series piezoelectric motors. The board-level product replaces traditional amplifiers and the servo controller with a small single axis board. The XCD is offered in two basic configurations: to support the low voltage EDGE motor series; and the high voltage HR series motors. Both configurations are programmed via IIC and accept quadrature encoder inputs. Some XCD applications may be supported by a box level controller that can house up to 4 axes of motion control.

XCD2 Multi-Axis Controller
XCD2 multi-axis amplifier & control board is a dual axis OEM amplifier and control board designed for applications using the EDGE & EDGE-4X motors. The board level-product serves as a dual axis controller and can support a mixture of motor configurations, with multiple EDGE motors or multiple EDGE-4X motors per axis. The XCD2 also supports Nanomotion’s gyro input for dual axis stabilisation. The XCD2 is programmed via IIC and can support quadrature encoder input as well as BiSS.

XCDX5 Motion Controller
The XCDX5 Motion Controller is a packaged drive & control that can support from 1 to 5 axes of operation. The XCDX5 uses Nanomotion’s XCD boards, which can be populated with up to 5 axes of HR or SE motor drive/control boards supporting up to 16 elements per axis. The XCDX5 can be controlled from a PC application, via Ethernet or USB, using the nanoCommander firmware, an external joystick or via XCDX5 scripts (xms file). The stand-alone XCDX5 operates from a 24VDC input and accepts digital encoder inputs.
