This unique dual-axis positioner is particularly suited for testing direction-sensing antennas. The virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system invariably behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
- The BL128 Series provides a compact linear backlight solution ideal for space-constrained line scan applications.
- Its ultra-thin profile (less than ½”) minimizes vertical footprint, and bezel-free design along the length allows for placement of its emitting window right up to adjacent surfaces.
- While optimized for line scan setups, the BL128’s versatility extends to general-purpose machine vision lighting as a non-directional, highly diffuse bar light illuminator when needed.
These MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series EL/AZ Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity of 2 axes, for the positioning of very large devices in test configurations.
Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio.
Typically, the unit includes the body, precise slew bearings, a DC motor, gear reducer, encoder/synchro, and limit switch assembly. The turntable surface is designed with a threaded mounting hole pattern for ease of use. A Safe/Operate switch is included to ensure safety.
