1621V Single Axis Rate Table

Ideal Aerosmith 1621C Single Axis Precision Position-Rate Table

The 1621V Series Automatic Rate Table Systems are designed to provide precise position, rate, and acceleration motion for the development and/or production testing of navigation sensor systems such as Fiber Optic Gyros (FOG), Ring Laser Gyros (RLG), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), and accelerometers. 

The 1621V Rate Table is a servo-controlled system featuring a direct-drive brushless torque motor, a precision absolute optical encoder, and a microprocessor that provides accurate and reliable motion control.
