I3000 - 3-Axis XYZ Stage
Superior Performance
Imagine a positioning system so stable and easy to adjust that singlemode optical
fiber alignment is as simple as tuning a radio! No need to let go of the micrometers
while adjusting - the I3000 is extremely touch insensitive. And with the
patented ergonomic inline design, all the micrometers are easily accessible on one
side - just rest your hand comfortably on the table and enjoy the ease and efficiency
of quickly aligning any type of fiber. No fiber alignment challenge is too difficult
- even 1-2 micron core lensed fibers can easily be aligned. This is possible because
of the radical departure from conventional design.
Innovation
The Luminos I3000 benefits from our patented
Ratio Drive™
while all other stages are direct-drive. A standard micrometer, which has about
1/3 the backlash of a differential micrometer, is further improved by the
25x Ratio Drive™
resulting in a backlash of only 20 nanometers and an incredible single-sided resolution
of just 1 nanometer!
The I3000 is extremely vibration and temperature insensitive. In an ordinary lab
without an optical table, normal temperature fluctuations result in only
0.03 dB variation with no drift in a typical singlemode alignment for over
a month.
Automation
If you require more travel available at the actuator on the X
& Y axes, consider the
I3005.
With this advanced design, upgrading to automation is easy and inexpensive.
Our standard, low cost stepper motor option provides the I3000 with a resolution
of 4 nanometers and a 1/2 millimeter of travel on the X and Y axes. An additional
2 millimeters of manual travel is still available using the coarse adjustments.
If you require more travel to be available using the actuator, consider the I3005.
The Z axis provides a larger ½ inch (12.5mm) travel on the focal axis and a resolution
of 100 nanometers.
A kit (Part#:ACTKIT) is required for each automated positioner. It includes a software
CD, a power adapter, a USB serial port adapter (in case your PC has no serial ports
available) and the necessary cables. The CD includes ActiveX/COM software which
provides a simple interface from LabVIEW 6i/8+/2010, Visual Basic 6, Visual C++
6.0, or any .NET language.
