Nanometre resolution for precision stage
Aerotech has a new positioning stage for ultra-high-precision applications
Based on the industry leading FiberMax, the stage is ideal for extended range systems requiring the most demanding position and velocity control.
Combining the ANT lift and rotary stages together with goniometers, the FiberMax AXR is a modular system that enables up to six axes of movement, down to a staggering 2nm resolution in both the x, z and y-axes.
Also on show will be a demonstration of Virtual Pivot Point Software.
This "reverse kinematics" software automatically calculates and removes errors in alignment translations, in devices such as lensed fibres and collimators, by compensating with equal motion and magnitude in the opposite direction. Request a free brochure from Aerotech ...
