The system performs simultaneous measurements of centration (in µm), angular deviation (in mrad) of the beam with respect to the outer housing or tube, as well as absolute power.The Advantage
- An accurate and cost-effective device covering a wide range of automated laser beam alignment applications, both in the laboratory and in the field.
- Transforms your personal computer into a powerful measurement instrument.
Features
- Accurate: 1 µm resolution, 0.01 mRad angle resolution
- Measures CW beams
- Versatile:
- Available with a variety of plug-in cards (PCI / PCMCIA / ISA)
- A variety of sensor heads with various lens focal lengths is offered, according to the application needs.
- Measures Position, Angle and Power.
- Industrial solution is offered by the Stand Alone unit configuration, intended for harsh environments and for places with limited room, or where simplified mode of operation is required.
Main Applications
- Alignment of articulated arms and beam delivery systems
- Alignment of lasers and laser tubes
- Examining errors in slideways
- Overall testing of laser beam's parameters: Power, Centration, long term angular deviation, stability.
AlignMeter comprises of:
- An interface card: (ISA / PCI / PCMCIA)
- A manifold box which plugs into the card and has sockets for connection of sensor head
- A measuring head composed of two Lateral Effect sensors (Position sensing), mounted with a calibrated beam splitter assembly, including: a beam splitter, collimating lens and a lens tube.
- A special Windows software package.
