Tango motorised turntable controllers
The TANGO Desktop controller from Märzhäuser is a modular desktop system for controlling up to 4 bipolar stepper motors.
It has an integrated 48 V power supply, does not require active ventilation, and allows control via PC (USB, RS-232) or joystick.
Its high resolution (819200 microsteps per revolution) and numerous interfaces make it an ideal choice for microscopy and precision automation applications.
Features of the Tango motorised stage controller
- Up to 4 controlled axes (expandable to 7 axes with additional module)
- Resolution: 819,200 microsteps/rev (200-step motors)
- High torque at high speed thanks to 48 V power supply
- Manual or software control via joystick, ERGODRIVE or PC
- Interfaces: USB, RS-232, digital and analogue inputs/outputs, trigger
- Silent fanless design, passive heat dissipation
