Aerotech’s FiberMax®HP represents a significant breakthrough in the high-volume manufacturing and testing of photonics components, reflecting more than 40 years of experience in designing advanced positioning systems for OEMs and end-users in the high-technology industries.
A highly repeatable, precise, and industrial-grade positioning system is the foundation for high-volume manufacturing and testing of photonics components. FiberMaxHP’s highly reliable, unique drive and control technologies ensure many years of maintenance-free service in a high throughput, 24/7 manufacturing environment.
Ultra-Precision Direct-Drive
As alignment tolerances become smaller with new silicon photonics devices, the requirement for high-speed and high-accuracy alignment is essential. FiberMaxHP noncontact direct-drive technology enables high-precision alignment without sacrificing production throughput. Capable of minimum incremental motion down to 2 nm coupled with speeds to 400 mm/s, the FiberMaxHP meets the challenges of aligning next-generation photonics packages.
The direct-drive technology employed in FiberMaxHP offers a significant precision and throughput advantage over other alignment platforms.
