YP2000 2-Axis Rotational Stage

Precision Single-Fiber Angular Adjustment

Manual YP2000

The YP 2-axis rotational system for positioning offers the highest resolution by hand or actuator in its class. It is rugged and repeatable, easy to use, with superior resolution - the Luminos YP2000 is the most advanced 2-axis manual positioning / alignment system on the market. This 2-axis Yaw Pitch positioner is flexure based with no frictional bearings. Our Ratio Drive™ allows an incredible by hand resolution of 0.2 arc second in Yaw and Pitch without touch sensitivity. The concurrent rotation point is projected 1 inch in front of the unit and ½ inch above for unobstructed access. This tiny unit is only 1¾" wide and 1¼" high and weighs 480grams without micrometers or actuators.

Automation

With this new design, upgrading to automation is easy and inexpensive.  The standard stepper motor option provides 0.2 arc second resolution on both the pitch and yaw axes.

A kit (Part#:ACTKIT) is required for each automated positioner. It includes a software CD, a power adapter, a USB serial port adapter (in case your PC has no serial ports available) and the necessary cables. The CD includes ActiveX/COM software which provides a simple interface from LabVIEW 6i/8+/2010, Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6.0, or any .NET language.

Accessories

With accessories ranging from fiber array holders to contact sensors, Luminos can get you out-fitted and up-and-running quickly on your applications.

Feature Summary

  • Damped exterior shell design provides superior vibration and touch insensitivity.
  • Lightweight aluminum construction allows system to be moved easily by other motion equipment.
  • Patented Ratio Drive™ system affords superior resolution for far less cost.
  • Small footprint allows multiple unit workstations.
  • Onboard controller for actuators avoids high cost of separate motion controllers.
  • High mechanical stiffness affords rugged and stable base system.
  • Dual flexure Yaw and Pitch stages provide extreme resolution without arc error.
