Product Name: F-111 Compact Hybrid Manual/Piezoelectric Photonics Alignment System

Product Description

• PZT Drives with Sub-Nanometer Resolution
• Precision Mechanics with Crossed Roller Bearings
• 6 x 6 x 6 mm Travel Range
• 30 x 30 x 30 µm PZT Fine Travel Range

The F-111 photonics alignment system is an ideal solution for applications where a coarse “operating” position can be set manually and an ultra-high-resolution alignment process (tracking, scanning etc. with sub-nm resolution) is started from that position.

High-Resolution Piezo Drives
The F-111 is based on the M-313.00 XYZ translation stage and the P-282.10 XYZ piezo NanoPositioner.The advantage of the piezoelectric fine adjustment is based on its extremely high resolution, responsiveness and electrical controllability. If used with an external optical power meter and control software, the F-111 can be used as semi-automatic aligner or scanner with a range of 30 x 30 x 30 µm.

The E-463 piezo amplifier is recommended as driving system. It comes with an analog high-speed interface (0 to 10 V). For digital control with a computer, the E-500 modular PZT control system with E-507 amplifier modules and optional E-516.i3 computer interface is available.

For motorized alignment, please refer to the new F-130, integrated motorized/piezoelectric alignment system featuring closed-loop piezo drives.
