Stagehand Apprentice 2

Introduction

The Stagehand Apprentice 2 is the newest generation of our combined motion controller and motor drive (VFD). It is the link between Spikemark software and machinery, translating cues into movement. The rackmount case houses everything needed to power and control a machine.

Under the hood, the Stagehand Motion Controller is powered by an ARM Cortex M4 processor and a Performance Motion Devices (PMD) Magellan motion chip, replacing the aging Rabbit 2000 processor and LM628/9 motion controller. This new architecture unlocks a realm of advanced motion capabilities, completely new to the Creative Conners System. Get ready to embrace the future with the state-of-the-art Stagehand Motion Controller.
