Manual Fiber Positioners

   The FP1600 series fiber alignment system uses our 1600 series crossed roller stages for precise fiber alignment.  This precise fiber alignment system is a modular assembly of our 1600 series stages, Model 3010 fiber holder, and
PY-2 pitch / yaw mount.  The modular design gives the user maximum flexibility while maintaining its stable working platform.
   Our 1600 series stages use either 40TPI or 80TPI precision rolled lead screws for smooth positioning along their entire travel.  These lead screws are spring-loaded against a solid stop to ensure drift-free operation.  A non-influencing foil lock is integrated into the 1600 series stages and color coded Soft Touch knob caps are used to identify axis location, helpful in low light conditions.
   FP1600 series stages come standard with our ABP-R mounting plate.  The design of this mounting plate enables coarse positioning between platform mounting holes as well as 360° of coarse rotational positioning.  If rotation with a solid submicron level stop is required, the MX-RS rotation stage is designed to mount directly into the ABP-R and has mounting holes for all 1600 series stages.
