Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
An optional piezo tip offers 1nm resolution.
The actuators are self-contained packages using either a DC motor or stepper motor driving a ball screw or lead screw.
They have a non-rotating tip ensuring increased stability and motion linearity.
Integral non-contacting limit switches and homing sensors increase these actuators' versatility and help protect sensitive equipment where extended motion could cause damage.
The DC motor versions are equipped with closed-loop, high-resolution encoders.
For applications where space is short, a compact model is available with a parallel drive shaft-motor configuration.
Various low-cost stand-alone or PC card controllers and drivers are available to power the units.
Applications are in instrumentation using small machinery, micro-machining, semiconductor test equipment, biotechnology and high precision nanopositioning. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
