1.0 Introduction
This manual describes the operation of Siskiyou’s Model MC1000e-R / T
micromanipulator motion controller.
2.0 Description
The MC1000e-R/T 4-axis dial controller acts as a remote micrometer control
with a user selected target feature for 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipula-
tors, and stages. The MC1000e-R/T uses encoder feedback from our closed
loop devices to create an electronic link between the controller dial and the
device being driven. This direct coupling to the encoder ensures smooth and
coordinated motion between the controller and the drive. The encoder coupling
enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for repeated positioning require-
ments.
A two-position rocker switch is conveniently located on the side of the control-
ler to allow for rapid and slow travel speed. The rapid
setting is set to
maximize speed (1.5 mm/second) when the dial is turned at 240 RPM. The slow
setting is set to maximize resolution (0.2 µm) but still allow coarse position-
ing (45 µm/second).
The TARGET/RETRACT allows the user to set a target location at a desired
point. When it becomes necessary to back away from the experiment area, the
user simply depresses the RETRACT button on the controller. The stage/actua-
tor plugged into that axis (No.1), then automatically retracts to its full negative
limit. The user can then return to the previously set position by simply depress-
ing the TARGET button.
The MC1000e-R/T uses a universal switching power supply adapter as its
source for clean DC power. All cables are shielded and a central ground lug
is located on the junction box to ensure noise-free operation during sensitive
electrophysiology experiments.
1.1 Inspection
Siskiyou products are shipped in sturdy, cushioned boxes. Please inspect the
instrument immediately and notify the carrier if damage is obvious.
