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.
MVG-Orbit/FR medium duty EL/AZ positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction, with platform sizes up to 28 x 28 in (711 x 711 mm). Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.
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).
Pylons are stationary metal Device Under Test support structures designed to minimize measurement signal backscattering.
Their shapes, sizes, and construction specifications are determined by requirements such as maximum DUT size, its mechanical properties, and minimum rotator size.
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).
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.
MVG light duty polarization positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction and offer turntable diameters up to 12.6 in (320 mm) . Their rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operations.
ULTRA UHC series polypropylene based broadband electromagnetic absorbers are the latest technology for RF test applications.
The polypropylene material has a highly uniform carbon density, throughout the material, which provides for more predictable results with no discontinuities.
It is the unique production technology which is the critical factor in achieving the highest electromagnetic reflectivity performance in an antenna measurement anechoic chamber or an emc chamber.
As an international EMC chamber supplier, we provide these polypropylene broadband absorbers for EMC test chambers worldwide.
