six axes
Factory automation engineers and machine builders can now select a National Instruments PXI-735x high-performance motion controller in three new axis configurations.
Factory automation engineers and machine builders can now select a National Instruments PXI-735x high-performance motion controller in three new axis configurations Complementing the original PXI-7358 eight-axis version, the PXI-7352, PXI-7354 and PXI-7356 modules offer two-, four- and six-axis versions of the stepper or servo motion controller

Audio and vibration measurements now on PXI
For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements - using the National Instruments NI 4472 signal acquisition module
Massive online sensors and automation resource
Engineers and scientists now can join an online community of experts, NI Developer Zone, to help them design and implement measurement and automation systems.
With these options, factory automation engineers and machine builders in need of high-performance motion controllers can benefit from more cost-effective motion control systems by purchasing just the number of axes they require for their applications.
Each PXI-735x module can be programmed using NI LabView, NI LabWindows CVI, NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic, C and C++.
The modules also offer additional I/O that includes eight total encoders, 64bit of discrete I/O and eight 16bit analogue inputs.
In some cases, this eliminates the need to purchase a separate data acquisition module.
For applications requiring hardware-timed acquisition or special signal conditioning, each of the new PXI-735x controllers features powerful capabilities for triggering NI data acquisition modules at rates more than 1000 times faster than previous NI two-, four- and six-axis controllers.
Engineers also can increase accuracy and reduce the effects of backlash in their applications by using the additional encoders for special dual-axis feedback, assigning two encoders to a single axis and a sense position for two different parts of the system.
These advanced capabilities are ideal for applications such as scanning where position-to-measurement correlation is required. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
