NFP-x561 Series Stainless Steel Fiber Alignment Stages, 3/5/6-Axis, ≤1 µm
NFP-x561 SeriesDesign Tools
Stainless steel crossed-roller stages and add-on angular modules for precise manual fiber alignment.
The NFP-x561 series is a modular family of manual fiber alignment stages built from 304 stainless steel. The NFP-3561 XYZ stage provides 13 × 13 × 6 mm travel on crossed-roller guides with ≤1 µm sensitivity, and can be combined with the NFP-GON10 goniometer (θx) or the NFP-2561T two-axis tilt stage (θy/θz); the NFP-5561 and NFP-6561 integrate these motions into 5- and 6-axis units.
Key Features
- 304 stainless steel body with sandblasted finish for stability and corrosion resistance
- Crossed-roller guided XYZ axes: 13 / 13 / 6 mm travel, ≤1 µm sensitivity, ≤3 µm linearity deviation
- NFP-GON10 goniometer: θx ±10°, ≤6″ sensitivity, dovetail mounting seat for fiber accessories
- NFP-2561T/TL tilt stage adds pitch and yaw: θy −2° to +4°, θz −4° to +4°
- Integrated 5-axis (NFP-5561) and 6-axis (NFP-6561) versions
- Right-hand drive as standard; left-hand versions with L (or TL) suffix
Typical Applications
- Optical fiber alignment and coupling
- Optical waveguide device alignment
- Fiber-optic component assembly
- Photonic device packaging and testing
