1100-5B Single Axis Positioning and Rate Table The Ideal Aerosmith Model 1100-5B Table was designed as a digital replacement for customers comfortable with using the obsolete analog 1100-5 table built years ago by Genisco Technology and Trio-Tech International. A popular feature of the 1100-5 was its user-friendly controls which were built into one chassis along with the turntable. The new 1100-5B retains that feature, but replaces the antiquated thumbwheels and push button switches with a touchscreen interface that utilizes a GUI to emulate the 1100-5 control panel. For fans of the 1100-5 who want a modernized version with better performance, Ideal is pleased to offer the 1100-5B. Download 1100-5B Data Sheet 1572/2002P Two-Axis Table Series The Ideal Aerosmith 1572 Series and the high accuracy 2002P Series, have become mainstays in the aerospace industry. Ideal has supplied these systems to the major suppliers of commercial and military avionics for development or production testing of our customer's AHRS, INS, IMU, or flight control systems. The tables are also used by Defense suppliers for testing seeker/tracker, stabilization, or navigation/guidance systems. All of the tables rely on direct-drive brushless motors and robust high precision optical encoders feedback systems and have established a reputation for high reliability.
