BPC203 In Stock

The ThorLabs BPC203 is a state-of-the-art, high-power APT three channel benchtop piezo controller that is designed to cater to a wide range of piezo applications. It has been specifically engineered to drive open-loop and closed-loop piezo-equipped nanopositioning stages and actuators with precision and ease.

With its advanced triggering outputs and waveform generation capability, the BPC203 is perfect for piezo scanning applications that require superior accuracy and speed. Its easy-to-read display can show either the applied voltage or position in microns, and the front panel of the unit allows for manual adjustment of the piezo position using the digitally encoded adjustment potentiometer. The front panel also has the option to select open-loop or closed-loop control and zeroing of the voltage applied to the piezo. Additionally, unit operation is fully configurable with key settings exposed through the associated graphical interface panel.

The BPC203 is equipped with many software benefits that make it a top-of-the-line piezo controller. Its USB connectivity feature allows multiple units to be used on a single PC with ease, and the fully featured Graphical User Interface panels and extensive software function libraries allow for custom application development. Its user-friendly software and multi-drop USB bus technology make it quick and easy to set up, allowing for fast and efficient operation.

One of the key innovations of the APT range of the BPC203 controller is its ease and speed of complete automated alignment systems at both the hardware and software level. The APT software provides a PC-based control system that is powerful and flexible for users of the equipment and software programmers alike, with the goal of automating operation. The ActiveX controls deployed with APT software allow direct control over the BPC203 controller, giving users complete control over their piezo positioning applications.

Other features of the BPC203 include high-resolution position control for very fine positioning, voltage ramp and waveform generation capability for scanning, high power capabilities of 75 V, and 10kHz high bandwidth open-loop piezo positioning. With dimensions of 9.5” x 14.2” x 5.2” and a weight of 14.75 lbs, the BPC203 is a compact and robust solution that provides accurate and reliable performance.
