These mounts combine the stability of our Stability mounts with the precision and stiffness of our Picomotor actuators to provide the ultimate in precision motorized optical alignment. With two standard Picomotor actuators to provide tip and tilt adjustment, you have complete remote control. The unique optic-retention system minimizes wavefront distortion of the mounted optic as well as maximizes overall mechanical stability.
•Unique retention system minimizes wavefront distortion
•0.7 µrad angular resolution
•Set-and-forget long-term stability
•Easy-to-use, flexible controller/drivers
•Vacuum versions
Compact Design
The compact Picomotor actuator housing adds only 0.75 in. (19.1 mm) to the overall thickness of the mounts, allowing these mounts to be located where needed on a crowded optical table or breadboard.
Easy-to-Use, Flexible Picomotor Controllers
Our Open-Loop Picomotor controllers and drivers are modular. You can daisy-chain up to 31 drivers together with four channels each, so you can have a network of up to 124 standard Picomotor actuators. You have two interface options with the controller system: hand pad or computer, both providing plug-and-play use. Alternatively, you may choose to use our TTL/Analog Picomotor driver.
Vacuum Compatible Stability™ Mounts
The Stability Picomotor Optical Mount is available in a vacuum-compatible version which can be used in vacuum (10-6 Torr) environments. Featuring ultraclean materials and components along with vacuum-compatible Picomotor actuators, these mounts have been measured to outgas less than 0.1 ppm of volatile mass at 85 °C over three hours.
