Drive features include multi-axis position synchronized output (PSO) for real-time triggering of events, and high-precision 20-bit sensor resolution for capacitive sensor feedback. Advanced features such as learning control, harmonic cancellation, and command shaping improve tracking error and throughput.

The QDe connects to any Ensemble controller network enabling coordinated motion between piezo stages and servo axes at much higher rates than other controller or drive products. This power and versatility make the Ensemble QDe ideal for single or multi-axis applications ranging from fundamental scientific research to advanced OEM machine systems.
