Motorized XY Fiber Positioners
Motorized XY Fiber Positioners
By motorizing our XY fiber positioners , we’ve improved their resolution from 1.0 µm to finer than 0.1 µm. Combining one of these stages with our Model 9092 coupler body and clamp gives you a good motorized multimode-fiber positioner.

Features
Flexure Design for Smooth and Reliable XY Positioning
The 8051 motorized XY fiber launcher’s unique flexure design doesn't rely on bearings to provide smooth, stictionless motion when coupling light from free-space into multimode fibers. The positioner can be mounted to an optical post or pedestal riser, as well as a flat surface using a threaded 8-32 hole (or M4 for metric versions). A nylon-tipped setscrew secures the fiber chuck for alignment. The Model 9092 coupler body is compatible with this positioner for coupling to microscope objectives.
