Field Ready Stepper PCB

This is a typical control and laptop for our systems. It is available with or without a laptop.  
Features List:
All aluminum pre-fabricated box, not plastic. No more cracked plastic boxes !
Professionally powder coated inside and out for long life.
Rubber mounts between the circuit and box for shock absorption.
Circuit breaker installed, just in case of an accident.
Cooling fan for added component cooling.
All soldered wiring inside.
Short parallel cable.
Upgraded handpaddle with better buttons and heavier cable.
Heavy duty stepper cables with pull apart DB-9's if you trip over them.
 

An upgraded handpad is included with most orders. 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
This way of mounting the two components allows for stable keyboard entry. It also eliminates the need for a long parallel cable. You can see a small cooling fan in there for added cooling of the components.
