Fiber Optic Positioner, XYZθxθyθz, Connectorized, FPH-CA Series

The FPR1-C2A Fiber Optic Positioner provides six degrees of precision positioning for connectorized standard or polarization-preserving fibers. We’ve improved these mounts by adding high-resolution 100 TPI adjustment screws and including new larger diameter knobs with an integral hex hole for smooth adjustment with increased sensitivity. Fibers are aligned in six axes (XYZθXθYθZ). Axial Z motion is accomplished without rotation of the fiber by a knurled knob with a precision 80 TPI thread. Rotational motion about the fiber axis is achieved by rotating the FPH-CA Series Fiber Chucks (sold separately) which are graduated in 15° increments. The FPR2-C1A incorporates our new zero-free play XY mechanism ensuring accurate positioning and enhanced long-term stability, reducing drift over both time and temperature. New independent locks for each axis of translation and rotation securely lock the mechanism, not just the actuator screws, maintaining stable alignment. Engaging or disengaging each lock on these models has negligible influence on the other axes. All FP Series Fiber Optic Positioners have threaded holes in their base for post mounting. The FPR2-C1A is also provided with a slotted base plate for mounting directly to an optical table. The base plate can be mounted on either side of the positioner.
