Introduction
Aerotech’s FiberAlign® series is a high-performance
photonics aligning system incorporating best-in-class drive and
state-of-the-art axis control technology. Its modular design permits
the selection of the number of axes, the distance to be travelled,
and the amount of payload, all at high speed, resolution, and
accuracy.
Ultra-Stable Design
In addition to the performance features of the standard FA-130,
the Ultra-Stable version is manufactured from low coefficient
of thermal expansion materials to provide unparalleled thermal
stability in the manufacturing and test environment. The expansion
coefficient of these stages is ten times less than those of aluminum
construction. The linear encoder is secured to the stage to take
advantage of the stability of the base metal.
Automated Production
As alignment accuracies, the quest for higher yields, and device
volumes increase, the need for a precise, reliable, and repeatable
motion system becomes increasingly important. Due to the rapidly
changing nature of components and manufacturing processes, flexibility
in system configuration becomes a must. Aerotech’s FiberAlign
series responds to and satisfies all of these requirements. More
than thirty years of experience serving the high-technology OEM
marketplace are reflected in these systems. With the selection
of robust system components, high-volume production in a 24/7
manufacturing environment has become a reality.
Advanced Drive Technology
Only noncontact direct-drive technology offers the robust, accurate,
high-speed and high-resolution positioning necessary for mass
production of precision devices. Aerotech’s state-of-the-art
patent-pending drive technology offers industry-leading resolution
of 2.5 nanometers. Utilizing ultra-quiet drives and advanced control
technology, coupled with high-performance, best-in-class signal
multipliers, Aerotech’s FiberAlign series offers the best
position repeatability, accuracy, and in-position stability to
meet the motion system requirements of higher yields.
