| Automated Alignment Systems Thorlabs' NanoTrack™ and APT™ systems offer a robust foundation for many auto-alignment applications. The NanoTrack system is ideal for simplifying and automating tasks such as waveguide characterization and fiber pigtailing. Our APT 6-axis stages provide 12mm total linear travel and 6° angular travel, with resolutions of 100nm and 0.6arcsec, respectively. The slim line stage incorporates all six actuators on one side to minimize space requirements, and to allow the stage to be mounted on five of its six sides. Our 6-Axis Stages are presented on pages 303 through 326, and our Automated Alignment Systems are presented in the drive electronics section which starts on page 327. |
