2103C Three Axis Rate Table

Ideal-Aerosmith-2103C Three Axis Positioning and Rate Table

The Model 2103C Three Axis Rate Table is designed to provide precise position, rate and acceleration motion for the development and/or production testing of military and/or commercial antenna stabilization systems and/or heading sensors.

The 2103C Test Table achieves accurate and reliable motion control with a servo-controlled system consisting of direct-drive brushless torque motors, precision absolute optical encoders, and the Ideal Aerosmith AERO3500 Commander microprocessor-based three axis motion controller.

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