More Product Information
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.
Flexibility
- Different substrate carriers for wafers up to 200 mm or single dies
- Probe cards and/or up to eight positioners
- Optional thermal chuck (-60°C to 300°C) and pressure regulation
- Accessories available, such as black bodies and optical motion analysis tools
- Optional upgrade for 300 mm wafer
- Designed for industrial environments
- Covers wide range of measurements (I-V, C-V, RF, MEMS, OPTO)
- Ideal for small structures

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 EH1840 EMC horn combines stable gain performance and low VSWR with wide band frequency operation. The horn is single linearly polarized with excellent cross-polar discrimination. The unique horn design suppresses any possible excitation of higher order modes in the aperture and maintains a well-defined smooth radiation pattern in the direction of the boresight axis throughout the operational bandwidth.
MVG Performance Series heavy duty AZ/EL positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems with turntable diameters up to 48.0 in (1,219 mm). They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporate new engineering advances.
The Performance Series EL/AZ positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems. They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size, and incorporate new engineering advances.
These positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. 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, DC motor, gear reducer, encoder/synchro, and limit switch assemblies. The AUT mounting surface is designed with a threaded mounting hole pattern for ease of use. A Safe/Operate switch is included to ensure safety.
The MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series Azimuth Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio.
The MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series AZ/EL/AZ Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio. These positioners support vertical loads up to 50,000 lbs (20,680 kg).
The MVG-Orbit/FR performance series has recently been expanded to include the AL-458x series of medium-duty, tri-axes positioners. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical AZ/EL/AZ positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity.
Their rugged and straightforward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This series includes a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads.
