PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. High-Performance 3- to 6-Axis Photonics Alignment System F-572

A preconfigured ACS controller that controls all axes is included in the alignment system's scope of delivery. FMPA routines for rapid area scans and gradient searches have been implemented in the controller (ACS buffer). This drastically reduces alignment times in the process sequence; and with it the associated costs. As an ideal add-on for F-572, the ultrafast Plighting algorithm for first-light search is optionally available. Applications and use cases Due to its high load capacity (2 kg) and excellent accuracy, the system is ideal for applications in the following fields: High-end multichip-level testing LIDAR Advanced packaging Technology The linear axes achieve high velocities thanks to their compact, high-performance magnetic linear drives; direct metrology ensures high-precision control thanks to a high-resolution optical linear encoder. The system has an extremely compact footprint for its load capacity. Overall, the system is ideally suited for demanding photonics tasks. Controller and software The system includes an ACS controller with industry-grade interfaces (TCP/IP and EtherCAT) and excellent control performance as well as user-friendly software featuring fast and powerful alignment algorithms. The PI's extremely fast PILightning algorithm is optionally available.
