Qioptiq : Automation & Control
 
The Zoom 12/Optical System can be specified with built-in motorized zoom, and/or focus functions. Choose from a variety of motorization and control options to best suit your specific application.

Stepper Motor Models – NEW for 2004, all Stepper Motor equipped Zoom 12/ feature Hall-Effect Sensors. This engineering improvement ensures pinpoint mechanical accuracy and repetition for automated applications, and presents a smaller zoom barrel clearance diameter for improved space efficiency in OEM integrations.

Zoom 12/can be specified in motorized configurations that facilitate computerized control of the Zoom and Focus functions. Stepper Motors permit discrete movement (steps) in fine increments.  Homing Sensors are standard on Zoom 12/Stepper Motor models and provide a “zero” position for repeating locations. This permits pre-programming of setups for multiple work pieces.
 
Stepper Motor Controller – A Stepper Motor Controller is designed to operate the Stepper Motors. Manual operation is available through the use of individual “rocker” switches. Each axis has its own speed control. RS232 operation is implemented through a serial port and a Windows GUI. Software is provided for use with Windows 9X, 2000, XP or NT. Connections are made with DB-25 Pin and a DB-9Pin Cable which are both included with the Stepper Driver. The DB-25 Pin Connector Cable plugs directly into the separate Junction Box which splices the individual six position Modular connectors on the motors and sensors to the Cable. A Wall Transformer is required and must be ordered separately; 110V, 60Hz or 230V Wall Transformer, you must select either a U.K. Power Cord or a Euro Power Cord.

OEM Stepper Motor Board
– The use of an OEM Board replaces the Stepper Motor Controller box. The OEM Board has all connections on-board and is available with a code library for modification of functions. Zoom 12/OEM Controller Board connections are detailed in the diagram below.

Stepper Control with LabVIEW™ VIs – For seamless system integration, Optem Zoom System stepper motors can be driven by LabVIEW VIs. Download LabVIEW VI Stepper Motor Driver Demo .zip (.25MB)

DC Motor Models DC Motors allow continuous movement throughout either the zoom or focus range. Two ports in the back of the Motor Driver accept both zoom and focus motorized functions.
