Thanks for the fast response.

I'll send that to the motion controll engineer,
who raised the question.

The question aimed to ask about
"Kohzu standard stages setups, like goniometer stage+motor+encoder+switches"

Thanks again,
/Torsten

In my experience Kohzu has been very good.  Their stages and precision machinery have a really good reputation and are used extensively here at the APS.  For motors, Kohzu usually uses hardware from Oriental Motor.  We've only used steppers.  Kohzu packages 2-phase and 5-phase motor drivers using compatible Oriental Motor equipment.  These chassis are built with APS connectors and pinouts, and typically run with step/dir.  This equipment has been reliable.

Kohzu's tech support is good and we have a local rep who is really knowledgeable.

I can put you in touch with him and/or other local experts if you want to follow up with me.

Take care,
Kurt
