The LT360EX™ is a rugged precision turntable designed for professional polar measurement applications, and other various precision rotational applications. It offers high precision, high strength, high torque, advanced interfaces and control capabilities, all at an affordable price.

“The original LT360 we introduced in 2006 has enjoyed excellent success. Recently we received many requests for additional capabilities and features, so we decided to enhance and extend the LT360 product as a new version, the LT360EX” said Chris N. Strahm, President of Research & Development for LinearX. “Through a new discrete microstepper design, and improvements in various component sourcing, we are now able to offer a single high performance model.”

• New larger motor drive current capacity increased to 7.5A
• New larger 100mm NEMA-23 higher torque motor
• New precision tighter clearance C2 bearing, holds platter position tighter
• Higher resolution microsteps increased from 8 to 16
• Higher maximum torque capability
• Higher speed RPM capability

The LT360EX utilizes three embedded controllers: one 32 bit ARM-7 main processor, a second 8 bit processor dedicated for the USB interface, and a third specialized 16 bit 40MIPs processor which manages the microstepper drive. Five different universal interface methods are supported serving any computer automation environment including: USB, RS-232, TTL Pulse, Analog Input, and the manual button interface. The LR360 module is also available for remote manual control at a distance.

The LT360EX features a universal worldwide PFC power supply operating from of 85-265VAC. Advanced microprocessor controlled acceleration profiles and a wide variety of interface and control options. Pre-tapped mount points are provided both on the platter and base for attachment of brackets, flanges, jigs, and other rigging. The LT360EX™ can be mounted in any orientation for maximum flexibility. Advanced user control is conveniently achieved by using RS-232 or USB communication. A general purpose Win32 application program is provided, or the user can quickly create their own custom applications using either a Win32 DLL software interface, or by direct RS-232 programming. Pricing is $2895.
