System structure and configuration
All clamps used in this system are independently developed and designed by our company. In terms of device fixtures, the chip fixtures are made of high-quality stainless steel to provide good mechanical and temperature stability. The fiber array fixture at the input and output ends is equipped with a high-precision touch sensor to provide feedback signals for precise control of the glue layer spacing. High-precision motion stages and actuators enable highly accurate and repeatable waveguide coupling. Optional fast end-face parallel automatic adjustment software can be purchased to avoid poor product parameters caused by non-parallel end faces. In addition, its modular design can also be seamlessly upgraded to piezoelectric ceramic actuation and semi-automatic alignment systems.
We provide: free installation, calibration and debugging. 2 days of free training on PLC coupling related knowledge and system operation.
We can provide standard products and customized solutions to help customers design and assemble the most suitable alignment packaging system for their application.
