FA90 Series Fiber Translator


FA90


Proprietary direct-drive motor technology, linear encoder based fiber translator. XYZ axes aligned to 10 arc sec orthogonal.

 

 

Note: Requires clean, dry air supply for pneumatic counterbalance when a vertical axis is specified.

Linear Stage Travel


-4


4 mm (.16 in) travel stage (vertical only)

-25

25 mm (1 in) travel stage (vertical or horizontal axis)

-50

50 mm (2 in) travel stage (horizontal only)

Optional Rotary Axes (Opt Rotary Axis 1-3)


For reference purposes the Z axis is considered to be the middle axis of a three-axis stack, X is the bottom axis, and Y is the vertical axis.

-T

Single "planar" rotary axis oriented as yaw, rotation about Y axis (ANT-20RA)

-P

Single "goniometer" rotary axis oriented as pitch, rotation about X axis (ANT-20G)

-R

Single "goniometer" rotary axis oriented as roll, rotation about Z axis (ANT-20G)

Note: For 5- and 6-axis configurations, please consult the factory.

Note: The above sequences represent the only valid rotary axis combinations.

Controller Platform

-A3200

Automation 3200 software-only controller; Npaq® with MXR and DP32020E amplifiers, cables and software included

See Motion Controllers section for specifications.

Orientation (-AA, -AB)


The letters in the orientation correspond to the standard X/Y/Z configurations detailed in Aerotech's PA5 specification. The first letter indicates the orientation of the two horizontal axes and the second letter indicates the orientation of the vertical axes. These two combinations represent the only two standard configurations.

-AB

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits left, vertical tabletop parallel to middle axis travel and facing the front.

-AA

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits left, vertical axis tabletop parallel to bottom axis facing to the right.

FiberAlign 130 Series Fiber Translator


FA130


Direct-drive linear motor, linear-encoder-based fiber translator. XYZ axes aligned to 5 arc sec orthogonal.

Note: Requires clean, dry air supply for pneumatic counterbalance for vertical axis.

Linear Stage Travel


-25


25 mm (1 in) travel stage (vertical axis only)

-50

50 mm (2 in) travel stage (horizontal axes only)

-100

100 mm (4 in) travel stage (horizontal axes only)

-150

150 mm (6 in) travel stage (horizontal axes only)

Optional Rotary Axes (Opt Rotary Axis 1-3)


For reference purposes the "Z" axis is considered to be the middle axis of a three-axis stack, X is the bottom axis, and Y is the vertical axis.

-T

Single "planar" rotary axis oriented as yaw, rotation about Y axis (ANT-20RA)

-P

Single "goniometer" rotary axis oriented as pitch, rotation about X axis (ANT-20G)

-R

Single "goniometer" rotary axis oriented as roll, rotation about Z axis (ANT-20G)

-T-P

Dual rotary axis, one planar and one goniometer (50 mm radius), yaw and pitch

-T-R

Dual rotary axis, one planar and one goniometer (50 mm radius), yaw and roll

-P-R

Dual rotary axis, two goniometers (50 mm and 90 mm), pitch and roll

-T-P-R

Triple rotary axis, one planar and two goniometers (50 mm and 90 mm), yaw, pitch, and roll


Note: The above sequences represent the only valid rotary axis combinations.

See Motion Controllers section for specifications.

Orientation (-AA, -AB, -BA, -BC)


The letters in the orientation correspond to the standard X/Y/Z configurations detailed in Aerotech's PA5 specification. The first letter indicates the orientation of the two horizontal axes and the second letter indicates the orientation of the vertical axes. These four combinations represent the only four standard configurations. Combinations AA-BA, AB-BC can be considered as left- and right-hand orientations of the same stack, or mirror images of each other.

-AB

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits left, vertical tabletop parallel to middle axis travel and facing the front.

 

-AA

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits left, vertical axis tabletop parallel to bottom axis facing to the right.

 

-BA

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits right, vertical axis tabletop parallel to bottom axis facing to the left.

 

-BC

Bottom axis cable exits rear, middle axis cable exits right, vertical tabletop parallel to middle axis travel and facing the front.
