Setting up nanometer-precision position sensors can be very tedious and time consuming. MPM300 is designed not only to provide enhanced resolution interpolation but also immeasurable convenience to end-users.

FEATURES

  1. Resolution enhancement down to 1 nanometer*.
  2. Automatic DC offset, amplitude and phase distortion compensation for analog encoder input signals.
  3. USB 2.0 interface for plug-and play convenience.
  4. Convenient zero and unit (inch-metric) switch buttons.
  5. Large LCD display suitable for machine shop environment and quick testing.
  6. Free CP300 software for data acquisition and visualization and .NET API for custom software development on Matlab and Labview.
  7. PID motion control core with 2 programmable DAC output
  8. A-quad-B digital output interface to other motion controller cards.
  9. Diagnostic and analysis functions such as dynamic signal analyzer**.

The MPM300 is a high precision motion processing engine capable of obtaining nanometer measurement accuracy. The MPM300 interfaces with a variety of precision Linear, Rotary, and recently introduced Absolute Encoders, made by Nikon. NanoWave’s close collaboration with Nikon resulted in the MPM300 product to provide complete support for Nikon’s DigiMicro encoder products.

Some of MPM’s digital signal processing architecture was borrowed from NanoWave's patented Scanning Probe Position Encoder (SPPE) technology called NanoRES™ which offers many advantages over other encoding methods. NanoWave has taken advantage of the emerging high density FPGA’s (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) to implement its proprietary DSP (Digital Signal Processor) algorithms. Utilizing FPGA technology, these algorithms can be easily refined and updated to meet fulfil the requirements of more demanding systems.

Block Diagram

Unlike conventional DSP processors, FPGA technology allows many parallel signal processing paths which greatly speeds up real-time signal processing. It is for this reason the MPM300 can process position data at 40MHz rates with uncanny accuracy which makes it ideal for machine control.

Example Applications

  1. Create custom nanopositioning stage with MPM300-Digimicro Position Encoder System
  2. Build calibration tools with MPM300-Digimicro Position Encoder System
