Offering innovative proprietary techniques called active damping and electronic viscosity, the Zeta series drives deliver significant performance gains such as faster acceleration, increased shaft power and reduced settling time. A drive-only unit is designated Zeta 4 and an indexer/drive package is called Zeta 6104. The models offer torque outputs from 0.5 to 3.4 Nm with user-selectable motor resolution from 200 to 50,800 steps per revolution. The Zeta 4 accepts step and direction signals from any standard indexer and is well-suited for multi-axis applications, while the Zeta 6104 indexer/drive is intended for stand-alone use in single axis systems.
