Newport has expanded its Agilis range of products with two new additions: the AG-LS25 high precision miniature linear stage and the Agilis Series piezo motor-driven rotation stage or polariser rotator
The growing Agilis family is now comprised of a wide array of piezo motor remote controllable devices for laser optical setups including mirror mounts, linear stages and rotation stages as well as an electronic controller.
The AG-LS25 is a new, high-precision miniature linear stage offering a wide range of advanced features at a notably competitive price.
Powered by Newport's new Agilis piezo step direct motor, the unit has ultra-high adjustment sensitivity.
It is also lightweight and extremely compact and provides for convenient remote operation.
The AG-LS25 size and price are comparable to those of a high quality manual stage.
The Agilis piezo motor is directly coupled to the moving carriage with no intermediate screw or gear.
When idle, the motor holding force locks the position for true set-and-forget, long-term stability.
Compared with alternative screw-driven designs, the AG-LS25 compromises neither adjustment speed nor lifetime, and has no backlash.
In contrast to ultrasonic motors, the Agilis non-resonant motor makes small incremental adjustments more predictable with a 50 nm incremental motion capability which is ideal for ultra-sensitive alignments.
AG-PR100 is a polariser rotator which features 360deg continuous rotation for 1inch diameter waveplates and polarisers.
This high precision unit features Newport's new Agilis piezo step direct motor which provides ultra-high adjustment sensitivity and convenient remote operation.
The Agilis piezo motor is directly coupled to the moving carriage with no intermediate screw or gear.
Precision motion is achieved by a proprietary ball-bearing that ensures better than 100urad wobble.
When idle, the holding force of the motor locks the position for true set-and-forget, long-term stability.
The AG-PR100 offers all the benefits of a motorized component in an ultra-compact, lightweight casing, at a price comparable to that of a high quality manual stage.
Compared with alternative screw-driven designs, it compromises neither adjustment range nor lifetime, and has no backlash.
