The CHARON2HD platform is the high dynamic version of the existing CHARON2 family. Using dedicated electronic configurations, all combinations ranging from a simple XY stage to a complete motion system comprising 7 axes are available. CHARON2HD is suited for a broad range of applications and use cases due to its compatibility with all current and future modules and options.

CHARON2HD family members are equipped with larger ironcore motors providing the necessary power to reach a new level of dynamics. The acceleration has been doubled to reach 20 m/s2 while the maximum velocity can reach 2 m/s. Mounting interfaces are the same and allow a drop-in interchangeability with the CHARON2 stacked platform so to provide an upgrade path.

With all-conditions field proven decades of uninterrupted operations and large manufactured volumes of this architecture, CHARON2HD represents the most flexible and high dynamic entry point for turn-key motion solutions and sets a new record in price-per-performance ratio.

Its position accuracy of ±1 µm level paired with excellent bidirectional repeatability and high dynamics sustains applications development in all technology and industry fields.

CHARON2HD remains another perfect example of ETEL vertical integration, based on proprietary IP for motors, electronics and controlling know-how, and synergy with HEIDENHAIN when relating to world-class positioning accuracy feedback.
