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.

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.

DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements

FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.

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.

The EH118 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.

The Null Seeker Positioner is used in development and production testing to emulate flight movement of a device encasing null-seeker sensors. Its high motion dynamics and ultra-precise angular positioning, rates, and acceleration allow for accurate evaluations of null seeker technology (ie. RF signal nulls transmitted from directive antennas).

The AL-4162 programmable positioner controller offers real-time control of positioning subsystems used in near-field and far-field antenna measurement systems. Typically, it may be configured to drive planar scanners and general purpose far-field positioners that are encoder-based or involve simultaneous motion.
