I3005 - 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 I3005 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 I3005 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 I3005 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 precision and need no more than 0.5 millimeters of automated travel on the X & Y axes, consider
the
I3000.
With this advanced design, upgrading to automation is easy and inexpensive. Our
standard, low cost stepper motor option provides the I3005 with a resolution of
20 nanometers and 2.5 millimeters of travel on the X and Y axes. The Z axis provides a larger ½ inch (12.5mm) travel on the focal axis and a step size
of 100 nanometers.
The Challenge
So why not take the
Luminos Challenge?
If you buy one, we will give you one month to prove to yourself that this is the
world's most accurate and easy-to-use 3 Axis stage. If you are not convinced, you
can return it for a full refund. Join our list of satisfied customers who are truly
amazed by the Luminos I3005.
