ASI can put stepper motors in most of our stages, focus controllers, and linear positioners for customers who want to capitalize on ASI's superior design features and form factor but have to use open-loop stepper motors instead of our usual closed-loop DC servo motor systems. Additionally, ASI offers Objective Imaging's stepper motor controller board for command and automation of our stepper motor products.

Objective Imaging's Four-Axis Stepper Motor Controller
The Objective Imaging OASIS-4i controller is a PCI compliant plug-and-play board that provides control of up to four micro-stepping motors. This allows precise movement of stepper motor XY stages and focus mechanisms (stepper motor Z-drives), and the fourth axis controller allows for automation of extra peripheral devices such as stepper motor filter wheels.
OASIS-4i is a complete, self-contained solution. No additional power supplies are required - just install the board into a Windows PC, connect the appropriate cables and you are ready to move XY stages, focus motors, and other peripheral devices.
Various options are available to enhance the OASIS-4i for automatic focus, digital camera synchronization, as well as shutter and multiple filter wheel support.
The OASIS-4i controller is the foundation on which Objective Imaging's Surveyor with Turboscan Fast Mosaic Imaging application solution is based.
