The 2103C by Ideal Aerosmith provides precise position, rate, and acceleration motion for development or production testing of military and commercial antenna stabilization systems.
2103C Data Sheet

The Model 2103C Three-Axis Positioning and Rate Table System is designed to provide precise position, rate, and acceleration motion for the development and/or production testing of military and/or commercial antenna stabilization systems and/or heading sensors.

The 2103C test table achieves accurate and reliable motion control with a servo-controlled system consisting of direct-drive brushless torque motors, precision absolute optical encoders and the Ideal Aerosmith AERO 3500 Commander microprocessor based three-axis motion controller.

The table can be operated from the AERO 3500 Commander Controller front panel for local control or remotely through a host PC via Ideal Aerosmith Table Language (ATL) over an RS-232, IEEE-488 or an Ethernet communication interface using .NET.
