Accurate research findings require the use of precise, safe and reliable testing equipment. Neuro Kinetics' high-precision solution is a digital rate table system designed to provide high torque and high angular acceleration, in a cost-effective, comprehensive package. Based on patented technology, the new system provides researchers both increased confidence in measurements and flexibility in designing and setting up experiments.

NKI has combined all of the necessary elements for precise rotary motion in a single package, making it easier to get started quickly. Coupled with the low maintenance aspects of the system, you gain more time to conduct research. With the NKI Rate Table, you secure increased research capabilities through affordable, high-performance equipment.

The motor set is designed to allow for a variety of slip ring options including traditional electrical slip rings, and new single or dual fiber optic rings that allow for the transmission of both digital and/or analog data. With data transmission speeds up 2.3 GB/second, there are fewer data collection restrictions. The noiseless transmission of digital data over the fiber optic ring allows the precise collection of delicate physiological signals, with no static.

• Digital Motor Set – Supports unmatched motion control: low torque ripple (.1%) and constant feedback loop provides precise position validation resulting in increased confidence in measurements; the motor is tuned electronically, thereby reducing the cost of operation.

• Electrical and Fiber Optic Slip Rings – Support transmission of both traditional analog and 32 bit digital data. The new fiber optic rings provide expanded data collection capabilities, and the noiseless transmission allows collection of more delicate, physiological signals.

• Affordable, Complete Rotary Motion Package – Comprehensive package includes motor set, digital drive, PLC with preprogrammed safety limits, slip rings and encoder; making it easier to get started. Researchers gain a cost-effective solution and more time to conduct experiments.

• Compact Design – The NKI rate table delivers unprecedented high torque and acceleration (up to 6000 degrees/sec2) in a very compact package. The small footprint reduces floor space for conducting experiments and allows greater design flexibility.

• High Load Bearing Set – Provides smooth and quiet operations at high loads allowing you to test a greater range of subjects and equipment. Minimal inertial artifacts and external stimulus to subjects leads to greater confidence in measurements.
