FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
Which optical applications are supported?
Relevant applications can include optical alignment, laser processing, imaging, inspection, scientific instrumentation, and photonics assembly where controlled positioning is required.
Can systems achieve sub-micron positioning?
Sub-micron positioning depends on the mechanics, feedback, travel, load, environment, control strategy, and verification method. Those requirements are defined during application review.
How do you minimize vibration in optical systems?
Vibration control can address mechanical stiffness, motion profiles, bearing and drive selection, isolation, sensing, and the operating environment as part of the system architecture.
Can solutions integrate with laser systems?
Yes. Integration can account for laser interfaces, optical tooling, controls, safety, sensing, synchronization, and the process handoffs required by the application.
Do you build custom photonics automation?
Yes. Vectra Motion can combine motion, controls, sensing, tooling, and application-specific automation around a defined photonics manufacturing or inspection process.
