Motion Control
Controllers
An optical motion controller is an electronic device used to precisely control the movement of motorized optical components, such as translation stages, rotation mounts, or actuators. It plays a key role in automated alignment, laser positioning, and precision scanning in photonics and optics setups.
Linear Stages
A linear stage is a precision mechanical device that provides controlled linear motion along a single axis (X, Y, or Z). It is widely used in optical setups, laser alignment, and scientific instrumentation where accurate positioning is essential.
Motorized Stages
A motorized stage is a precision positioning platform that provides automated motion along one or more axes (X, Y, Z), controlled by a motor and motion controller. It allows for accurate, repeatable, and programmable movement, making it essential in advanced optical, scientific, and industrial applications.
Piezo Stages
A Piezo stage is a high-precision positioning platform that uses piezoelectric actuators to provide ultra-fine motion control, typically in the nanometer or sub-nanometer range. It is ideal for applications that require extremely small and fast adjustments.
Rotation Stages
A rotation stage is a precision mechanical device that allows an object (like a mirror, lens, or sample) to rotate around a fixed axis, typically in the azimuthal (θ) direction. It’s used in optical and scientific systems where angular positioning and alignment are critical.
