AUTOMATING OPTICS AND PHOTONICS MANUFACTURING

Precision piezo positioners, galvanometers, scanners, gimbals, goniometers and more.

KEY COMPONENTS AND SOLUTIONS FOR PHOTONICS, OPTICS INSPECTION AND OPTICS FABRICATION

Motion Plus can help you minimize insertion loss, increase throughput and reduce implementation risk for your fiber optics and silicon photonics manufacturing processes. We can also reduce error motions, prepare for any environment, and maximize the performance of your control system in your optical grinding applications. Finally, when you are inspecting the optics, we can ensure minimal error motions with automated data collection. The result of all of this is a single source supplier and partner for your photonics and optics needs.
