Object Positioning in Six Degrees of Freedom
Parallel-Kinematic Design – Travel Range to 500 µm / 1.5° – Nanometer Precision
Performing object movements in all six degrees of freedom is necessary in many applications. For example, the alignment of lenses in complex optical systems (e.g., smartphone cameras) or the positioning of optical fibers on silicon photonic components. New active alignment applications place higher demands on the positioning accuracy. Tolerances are not only limited to the three spatial directions, the angle accuracy comes into focus and so angle scans become necessary for example. The compact, parallel-kinematic P-616KLTS NanoCube serves all six degrees of freedom and opens up many new possibilities for the assembly and adjustment of demanding structures.
Positioning of Lenses in Six Degrees of Freedom
The requirements for camera systems in smartphones are continuously increasing. In addition to higher resolution, users expect a true optical zoom, sharp and distortion-free images, image stabilization, and much more. In order to meet these requirements, the individual elements of a lens must be aligned with high precision along the optical axis and with respect to each other. With the new P-616KLTS NanoCube with six degrees of freedom, completely new alignment strategies become possible to meet these requirements.
