ACUTRONIC USA Announces the AC217 Two-Axis Motion Table for the MEMS Industry
PITTSBURGH, July 25 -- ACUTRONIC USA announced the release of the AC217 two-axis motion table, a new product aimed at providing manufacturers of inertial MEMS devices and inertial MEMS-based products a cost effective solution for product testing. Optimized for the testing of MEMS inertial devices, this table provides MEMS manufacturers a means to mechanically stimulate their products for calibration and performance verification.
"MEMS devices are relatively less expensive and less precise than traditional inertial sensors, creating a need for test equipment that is proportionally less precise than traditional inertial sensor test equipment," stated Steve Bachorski, Engineering Manager at ACUTRONIC USA. "This enables more cost-effective equipment for MEMS manufacturers."
An integrated motion controller allows precise measurement and closed-loop control of position, rate, and acceleration. The controller supports a subset of the industry-standard Acutronic Command Language (ACL) for communicating with a host computer. An optional web browser interface for local control of the table is also available.
"ACUTRONIC created the AC217 to respond to the unique requirements of the MEMS industry," said Larry Zana, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "It is designed to handle larger production volumes and integrates easily with production lines. This product demonstrates our commitment to providing cost-effective testing solutions for the inertial MEMS industry."
