Integrated 3-, 5- and 6-axis micrometer stages with coarse/fine linear tuning for fiber coupling work.

The UFP fiber coupling stages combine XYZ linear motion with optional tilt and rotation axes in one compact micrometer-driven assembly. Each linear axis offers ±6.5 mm coarse and ±0.3 mm fine travel with fine sensitivity of 0.5 µm or better; the 5-axis models add θx/θy tilt and the 6-axis models add θz rotation.

Key Features

  • X, Y and Z axes with ±6.5 mm coarse and ±0.3 mm fine travel
  • Linear sensitivity ≤10 µm (coarse) and ≤0.5 µm (fine)
  • 5-axis models add θx and θy tilt of ±3°, with ≤25.2″ and ≤23.4″ sensitivity
  • 6-axis models add θz rotation of ±4° with ≤34″ sensitivity
  • Crossed-roller guides on linear axes; crossed-roller rings on angular axes (UFP5C, UFP6C)
  • Micrometer drive on all axes; left- (-L) or right-hand (-R) versions
  • Black anodized aluminum alloy body

Typical Applications

  • Fiber-to-fiber and fiber-to-device coupling
  • Optical waveguide alignment
  • Fiber-optic component assembly and testing
  • Laboratory beam coupling setups
