The Newport Motion Master 3000 (MM3000), is a powerful, standalone motion controller/driver with enhanced user-friendliness and backward compatible software and hardware drivers for Newport's extensive family of motorized stages. The MM3000 improves overall positioning performance with features like linear error and backlash compensation for better repeatability, closed-loop micro-stepping and automatic motor power cutoff on error.The table top or rack mountable controller/driver is based on Newport's advanced PC-compatible MM2000controller expansion card and includes enhanced software, an extended feature set and increased driver power to improve system performance.

The MM3000 is ideal for use in test and measurement, automated optical alignment, laser micro-ablation, scanning microscopy, wafer inspection, micro-probing and other applications that require a point-to-point motion controller with the ability to handle complex multi-axis tasks.The four-axis motion controller controls any combination of DC and stepper motors. The drivers can power servo motors from .1 to 10 amps or drive stepper motors up to 100x micro-step resolution. It offers several features designed to make operation easy including large easy-to-read alphanumeric front panel LED display switch a wide viewing angle and separate JOG, RESET and HOME buttons dedicated to each axis. From the front panel, users can execute motion programs stored in non-volatile memory, initiate manual jogs and automatic moves, perform home searches, configure axis operating parameters and perform diagnostic tests.
