Internet of Things (IoT)
In simple terms, IoT can be defined as a system where multiple devices communicate with each other through sensors and digital connectivity. They talk to each other, work in tandem, and form a combined network of services.
Machine to Machine (M2M) Solutions
M2M solutions contain a linear communication channel between various machines that enables them to form a work cycle. It’s more of a cause and effect relation where one action triggers the other machinery into activity.
The concepts of IoT, and M2M are continue to evolve in response to technology innovation, changing consumer trends and varied marketing tactics.
M2M with Internet protocols could be considered a subset of the Internet of Things and understood from a more vertical and closed point of view.
Although the Internet of Things and machine-to-machine communications have remote device access in common, that’s about where the similarities end. Learn how to specify the right solution for your needs.
Most conclude that Internet of Things is a broader concept, which will evolve from M2M and other technologies.

DigitalCameraInfo.com uses
our T-LSR075A linear slides
and T-RSW60 rotary stages
to simulate hand shaking in
testing image stabilization of
digital cameras and camcorders
they are reviewing.
In this set-up, our devices are used to
apply shake to cameras and camcorders
in a precisely controlled way, enabling
them to mimic human hand shake
without relying on the unpredictable
nature of real humans.
10. www.zaber.com
And here’s another example

like the LAR/BAR Series of
linear actuators.
OR the T-NA Series, which
includes our most compact,
precise, and robust actuators.
14. www.zaber.com
If you need to carry
Carry
Linear Stages
You’ll want to consider the
travel length of the device,
and you’ll likely be looking
at stages with various travel
ranges such as the (from top)
A-LSQ-E linear stage, T-LSR
linear slide, and the A-LST
linear stage.
15. www.zaber.com
If you need rotational motion
You’ll want to consider rotary devices and factors like microsteps per
revolution, revolutions per minute, and maximum torque. And you’ll want
to look at devices like the RSW rotation stage or the T-NM stepper motor.

You’ll want to look at tilt
devices like our T-OMG gimbal
optic mount, which offers +/- 7
degrees of angular travel.
OR our LMG
goniometer, which
offers precise and
accurate positioning.
17. www.zaber.com
If you need multi-axis motion
You’ll want to consider X-Y, X-theta, X-Y-Z systems, or gantries,
like our ASR microscope stages, G-LSQ gantries, or XYZ
three-axis stages with built-in controllers.
18. www.zaber.com
If you have limited space
From top to bottom: T-LSM
miniature motorized linear stage,
T-NA micro linear actuators, and
LSA micro motorized linear stages.
Many of our products are
designed to be compact,
making them suitable for
applications with limited space.
Here are just a few of our most
compact products:
19. www.zaber.com
Do you need high precision?
Resolution is the smallest increment that
a motion control device can be instructed
to move. Resolution can vary based on
the lead screw pitch of linear stages.

A-pitch
For example, devices
with A-pitch (fine) lead
screws, like the LSA,
will offer the highest
precision.
20. www.zaber.com
Do you need consistent motion?
Repeatability is the deviation in actual position when a device is
repeatedly instructed to move to a target position from the same
direction.

If you need to move something fast
Our A-LSQ linear stages offer
speed up to 1000 mm/s, up to 20
kg load capacity, as well as various
travel ranges from 75 - 600 mm.
Here are some of our products that
offer high speed travel: Our A-BLQ-E linear stages offer up
to 2.0 m/s speed, up to 20 kg load
capacity, and travel ranges from 70
- 2095 mm.
23. www.zaber.com
High thrust and carrying capacity?
Our G-LSQ gantries offer up
to 100 N thrust, depending on
choice of lead screw.
You’ll want to consider heavy duty devices with high peak thrust,
suitable for applications like industrial manufacturing, for example.
Our A-LST-C stages with dust covers
offer up to 560 N thrust and 100 kg
load capacity.
24. www.zaber.com
If you need stall detection
You may experience stalling when you operate above rated speed or
thrust. Some devices offer rotary encoders that provide closed-loop
position feedback with slip/stall detection and automatic recovery.
Our A-BLQ-E closed-loop
linear stage features a built-
in rotary encoder for stall
detection.
25. www.zaber.com
So you’ve chosen a suitable device
Now what? You’ll probably want to set up the device and get it to do
something. Our devices with built-in controllers simplify set-up and
daisy-chaining. The benefits include reduced cost, shorter set-up time,
and less cable clutter.
Built-in controller and daisy-
chaining makes setting up
easier and faster.
26. www.zaber.com
Setting up is easy as 1-2-3
Step 1: Connect your
controller to the RS-232
port of your computer with a
T-DSUB9 adaptor.
Step 2: Connect your
device to a power supply.
Most of our devices require
only a standard 15 V power
supply, and multiple daisy-
chained devices can run off
a single power supply.
Step 3: Instruct your device
to do something with our
open-source Zaber Console
software.
27. www.zaber.com
More about controlling devices
Our main software, Zaber
Console, is a free open-
source application that lets
you send commands to
your Zaber devices, adjust
their settings, and create
simple scripts.
It’s free and open-source!
28. www.zaber.com
Other software options to consider
We offer a LabVIEW driver that includes
subVIs and type definitions for controlling
Zaber devices with LabVIEW using the
Binary command protocol.
AND a LabVIEW driver that includes high-
level and low-level subVIs for controlling
Zaber devices with LabVIEW using the
ASCII command protocol.
29. www.zaber.com
If you want manual control
We offer a programmable
joystick, the T-JOY3, that
can be used to manually
direct a controller.
The T-JOY3 is easy to use, programmable,
and capable of controlling up to 3 axes.
They are ideal for microscopy, XY, or XYZ
stage applications.
30. www.zaber.com
Other manual control options
All of our devices with built-in
controllers feature a knob at
the end of the unit for manual
control.
Press and hold the knob to switch between
velocity and displacement modes. In velocity
mode, turning the knob will move the stage
at various discrete speeds. In displacement
mode, turning the knob will move the stage for
a fixed distance per knob detent. Pressing the
knob during any operation will stop the stage.
