1542C-12-TL Two Axis Rate Table

The 1542C-12-TL Series Automatic Rate Table is designed to provide precise position, rate, and acceleration motion for the development and/or production testing of inertial packages and their components.

The 1542C-12-TL Series Test Table is a servo-controlled system featuring direct-drive brushless torque motors, precision absolute optical encoders, and a microprocessor-based controller that provides accurate and reliable motion control.

The table can be operated from the AERO3500 Commander front panel for local control, or remotely through a host PC via the Ideal Aerosmith Table Language (ATL) over an RS-232, IEEE-488, or Ethernet communication interface.
