2002P Precision Two Axis Positioning and Rate Table System

2002P Precision Two Axis Positioning and Rate Table System

The 2002P/2002PG Series Two Axis Precision Positioning and Rate Table Systems provide precise angular position, rate, and acceleration for the development, production, and/or qualification testing of inertial sensors (MEMS, FOG, RLG, HRG, quartz, spinning mass, etc.) or inertial packages such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), and Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) or seeker/tracker/stabilization devices for applications in the aviation, aerospace, defense, space and marine industries.

These tables are servo-controlled and feature direct-drive DC brushless motors, precision optical encoders, and a microprocessor-based controller that provides accurate and reliable motion control. The table can be operated from the front panel keypad or keyboard for local control, or through a computer interface for remote control. This test table system is designed for ease of operation, yet allows for the performance of complex motion profiles.

The Models 2002P or 2002PG may be configured for limited rotation or with slip rings for unlimited axis rotation based on specific customer requirements. For limited rotation applications, these tables have wire wrap allowance that provides a cost-effective alternative to slip rings. Wire wrap test tables are designed for high reliability, minimal electrical noise and low maintenance.
