series and the evolution of the linear actuator from a time when
they required complicated accessories to the latest integrated
devices.
Press
Release Body: Zaber is proud to spotlight its
T-LA
- Linear Actuator Series. The T-LA series of computer
controlled linear actuators has been Zaber's flagship product,
the first linear actuator we developed and still one of our most
popular motion control devices.
Overview
of T-LA (linear actuator) series:
• 0.1 um resolution
• Built in controllers
• Daisy-chain multiple units to a single serial or USB port
• Drop in replacement for many standard micrometer heads
on manual translation stages
• CE certified and RoHS compliant
See
our TSB Linear Slides page for more information
on compatible translation stages.

The
History of the Zaber linear actuator:
Back in 1997, when Zaber was founded, precision linear
actuators were primarily based on DC motors with gearboxes and
encoders requiring complicated motion control cards, bulky controllers,
and separate driver amplifiers and power supplies. Precision motion
control was expensive, difficult to set up, and cumbersome to
use. Recognizing the demand for an inexpensive, integrated solution,
Zaber Technologies introduced the world's first precision linear
actuator based on a direct drive stepper motor with all communications
and control electronics integrated in one small package. Other
novel features little seen at the time included the ability to
daisy-chain multiple units and to manually control the actuator
via a built-in control knob while monitoring the position on a
connected computer.
About
Zaber:
Since
1997, Zaber has added over 120 products to its family of precision
motion control and laboratory automation devices including linear
actuators, linear slides, motorized x-y-z stages, rotation stages,
motorized mirror mounts, and micro-stepping motor controllers.
