1553VE Three Axis Rate Table

The 1553VE 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 requiring a large and unobstructed field of view. Its payload mounting surface is above the rest of the structure, allowing a clear view upwards and outwards for antenna testing. 

The 1553VE Rate Table is a servo-controlled system that features direct-drive DC brushless motors, precision optical encoders, and a microprocessor that provides accurate and reliable motion control. The table can be operated from the AERO 5 ELITE Motion Controller, for local control or through a computer interface for remote control. 

This rate table system is designed for ease of operation and is programmed with the Ideal Aerosmith Table Language (ATL) for remote operation.
