Industrial workstation MDE881-60

Optical workstation with six independent axes of manipulation. Designed for precise alignment of both input and output fibres to an optical waveguide device. • 6-Axis precision manipulation • All 6 axes are truly independent of each other • No cross-talk • Direct readout of waveguide Y axis position. • Fast rack & pinion drive enables easy access to central workstation for simple loading • Portable & stable - no need for an optical table. • Incorporates two Elliot Gold™ Series XYZ Flexure Stages (MDE122) with 20 nm sensitivity. Setting a new standard in device/waveguide manipulation Alignment of single mode fibres (US: fibers) to photonic devices is a demanding task and the Elliot/Martock range of precision positioners was originally developed to address this application. With dual interface optical waveguide devices however, things become more complicated as it is necessary to align fibres (or fibre arrays) to both the input and output facets of a device. The MDE881 Workstation has been designed specifically to provide the multiple degrees of motion required for this type of critical alignment and is suitable for use with a wide range of devices and fibre types for both characterisation and pigtailing applications. The Elliot Gold™ Series Professional Workstation MDE881 comprises two patented XYZ Flexure Stages† mounted on a base plate, with a central stage for rotation, tilt and transverse motion. The XYZ Flexure Stages incorporate patented High Precision Adjusters††.
