Pneumatic Fiber Alignment Stage



Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK - Melles Griot has introduced a new range of pneumatic linear translation stages for fiber-alignment applications. These robust stages provide fast, repeatable movement of loads up to 50 kg. Designed specifically for process-automation applications in telecom component manufacturing, these stages are perfectly suited for load/unload positioning and for positioning accessories like adhesive dispensing and
curing equipment.

With easy-to-adjust end stops, these pneumatic stages can rapidly move equipment up to 75 mm and position it with 2 µm repeatability. Lightweight aluminum construction and cross-roller bearings provide speeds up to 100 mm/second.

These low-maintenance pneumatic stages are easily integrated with
machine-vision prealignment and Melles Griot NanoMax(TM) positioning stages to precisely position fibers and components to within 10 nm.
