The MVG-Orbit/FR performance series has recently been expanded to include medium-duty, dual-axes positioners: the new AL-438X series. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical AZ/EL positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and
Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This particular series provides a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads. A large variety of options is available for this ORBIT/FR standard product family.
The LCU AL-4189 - Local Control Unit is a hand-held control box specifically designed and built to be used in conjunction with ORBIT/FR controllers and PCU’s. It provides the attendant (operator, serviceman etc.) with a high degree of flexibility in operating the system elements.
AL-38000 model towers are suited for light duty applications with an operating load of up to 150 lbs (68 kg). This series is available with either a manual or motorized linear offset slide. Manual slides can be hand-pushed or hand-wheeled. The mast (vertical or inclined) is available in fiberglass or aluminum construction.
The Virtual EL/AZ/Roll Positioner represents the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning medium-duty subsystems. It offers enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporates new engineering advances.
Particularly suited for testing direction-finding antennas, the virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
AL-58000 model towers are suited for very heavy duty applications with an operating load of up to 17,600 lbs (8,000 kg). They have durable steel masts, which can be vertical or inclined (limited to specific loads). They are available with a steel linear offset slide that is manual hand-wheel style, manual fixed step, or motorized.
The AL-48060 series controllers drive up to 6 axes sequentially. These popular, programmable controllers provide manual front panel control or remote control of rotary and linear positioners. Optional interfaces are available for position transducers such as absolute encoders, Inductosyn®, and inclinometers.
AL-4100 series PCUs provide precision motor drive for DC-servo based positioning and can control up to six axes sequentially. The AL-4107-6A models include a power supply unit (PSU) and a local control unit (LCU).
