Intended Use
The F-712 alignment systems provide closed-loop travel in axes X, Y and Z for fiber alignment
tasks. The included P-616K001 NanoCube® nanopositioners and M-122K025 linear stages are
equipped with incremental position sensors.
Based on its design and realization, the system is intended to position fiber holders with a
maximum mass of 30 g. The specifications (p. 34) are valid for horizontal orientation only.
The F-712 alignment systems are laboratory devices as defined by DIN EN 61010-1; intended for
indoor use and use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
The intended use of the system is only possible if the included controller is applied.
