This popular series of high performance, easy-to-operate, programmable six axis positioner

controllers provide manual front panel or remote control of rotary and linear positioners

manufactured by ORBIT/FR (or equivalent third party positioners that incorporate shunt wound

or permanent magnet brush DC motors, 50/60/400 Hz synchros, or encoders).

Optional interfaces are available for position transducers such as absolute encoders, Inductosyn

and inclinometers. The AL-48060 series controllers can be purchased in three conﬁ gurations.

AL-48060’s digital servo loop provides advanced remote and local control while maintaining a simple human

interface for manual operation. Position transducer and velocity type can be individually conﬁ gured for each

axis. These units are capable of driving a total of six axes sequentially, one axis at a time.
