Originally designed for the testing of guidance and bore sighting systems, this four axis gimbal can be used for any application that requires high load capacity and high speed motion such as antenna testing, LIDAR or target simulation and tracking. The Azimuth axis provides 350 degrees of motion and a positioning error of less than 0.001 degree. The Elevation axis provides +/-50 degrees of motion and a positioning error of less than 0.0006 degrees. The 1 mm X and Z translation stages provide 300 and 50 mm travel respectively. |
Full Custom and Turn-key Systems These automated solutions offer an excellent return for industrial customers looking to improve process yield, productivity and performance while still cutting down on production costs. Examples include: Air-bearing Systems, Inspection Platforms, and Metrology Positioning Systems. |
