561D-XYZ In Stock

The 561D-XYZ by Newport is an advanced ULTRAlign Fiber Alignment Linear Stage, designed to deliver exceptional long-term stability. Crafted with precision from stainless steel and hardened steel components, the stage features thermally matched cross-roller bearings that ensure superior performance over time. These bearings, combined with precisely manufactured bearing reference surfaces, facilitate remarkably linear travel. The X and Z axes offer a straight 6 mm linear travel, while maintaining an angular deviation of less than 100 µrad around any axis. Primarily designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial manufacturing and research applications, including intricate fiber optic alignment tasks, the 561D-XYZ offers a robust six-degree-of-freedom design.

The substantial mass of the 561D-XYZ contributes to high thermal immunity, bolstering its reliability in varying environments. The stage's large diameter bearings greatly enhance stiffness, enabling seamless accommodation of oversized loads. The 561D-XYZ is thoughtfully equipped with a generously spaced hole pattern, complete with 1/4-20 threads, simplifying the mounting process. A non-disruptive locking mechanism ensures submicron positioning maintenance, promoting precise adjustments. The integration of specialized actuator mounting blocks further streamlines actuator changes. For added versatility, a top-mounted rail provides a secure platform for attaching a wide array of device and fiber holders. Moreover, the stage supports the addition of a tilt platform, facilitating two-axis tip/tilt alignment of fibers to devices, thus expanding its range of capabilities. It's important to note that the optimal functioning of this stage requires three actuators and a goniometer for operation.
