6DOF-DD

The Dover Motion 6DOF-DD L/R sets a new standard for high precision photonic alignment. With direct drive on all six (or twelve) axes, performance greatly exceeds those of conventional stepper-gonio or hexapod designs. With servo controls built-in, bulky cabling is eliminated, with only a single stationary cable per 6DOF-DD stage stack.

Key features include:

Direct Drive on all six axes!
Stereo Left and Right versions for full 12 DOF alignment
Virtual Rotation Point, settable with easy to use API
Resolution: 5 nm linear; 25 micro-degrees (Theta-X and Theta-Y),100 micro-degrees (Theta-Z)
Non-contact linear and angular motors & encoders
Stiff, precise crossed roller bearings on all axes

¹ Testing performed at the customer tool point using a linear and angular laser interferometer (10 kHz sample rate, 1 nm and 1.7 micro-degree resolution).

²Repeatability reflects short-term performance (≤ 20 s). Over longer durations, ambient temperature changes can cause slow position drift.

³ For large linear moves (greater than 2 mm), repeatability is <±150 nm

Description

Whether the components to be aligned are single mode fiber pairs, GRIN collimators, optical waveguides, or linear fiber arrays, the 6DOF-DD L/R assures fast, accurate, and highly repeatable alignment. Unlike designs using steppers, ballscrews, worm gears, or hexapods, the direct-drive technology of the 6DOF-DD L/R supports very fine circular dither motions, which dramatically reduce the time to peak optical power coupling. “The Gradient of the Log of the Gaussian is Linear”! All twelve axes can be quickly programmed using our Motion Synergy™ API, including our Virtual Rotation Point, and a user-friendly GUI. The 6DOF-DD L/R also supports our BeamFind detector, which speeds up first light acquisition.

Applications

Optimized for fiber optic alignment applications.
