5-Axis Device Platform

This 5-Axis Device Platform is designed to be used in
conjunction with the NanoMax™ 600 six-axis
waveguide manipulator. It is well suited for
applications that require an optical element or
assembly to be held at a fixed position in front of a
high performance multi-axis alignment system. The
five degrees of freedom that this device offers allows
the fixed portion of the optical assembly to be
positioned such that it has the proper orientation
with respect to another positioning stage. The
photograph below shows the NBM513, five-axis
Device Platform, mounted next to our high
performance NanoMax™ 300 (MAX313), which is
uniquely qualified in its ability to perform complex
optical alignment routines at the nanometer level.
(see page 286 for details).
The NBM513, 5-Axis Device Platform has flexure
hinges for all the rotational degrees of freedom; both
the x and y linear axes utilize traditional bearing
stages to provide for longer travel. The top deck of
the NBM513 is located 112.5mm above the bottom
mounting surface of the device and is designed to
accept any of the accessories that are featured on
pages 319-335.
