The NF15P1(/M) is a special base plate designed to fit the NF15 Series translation stages with slots on the side that enable obstruction-free mounting onto an optical breadboard. I wanted to program with Python so used pythonnet to import and use the Thorlabs library. Go to Solution. I have contacted you directly with an example of a 2D piezo raster scan LabView .VI and a guide on how to use our APT software in Labview.

When translation stages are stacked to make multi-axis configurations the resolution of the positioning system is deteriorated by cosine and Abbe errors (crosstalk). We will review your suggestion. Trusted Enthusiast ‎09-14-2009 05:27 PM. So, is it possible to unscrew the top plate of the stage to have it machined, and then put it back together without damage? The translation stage has a manual translation range of 1.5 mm with an independent piezoelectric translation range of 25 μm (see the The NanoFlex™ flexure stages are rated for a maximum load of 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs), which makes them an ideal choice for many laboratory and OEM applications. In this way, it is perfectly feasible to combine any of the controllers from single-axis to multi-axis systems and control all from a single, PC-based unified software interface.The software packages allow two methods of usage: graphical user interface (GUI) utilities for direct interaction with and control of the controllers 'out of the box', and a set of programming interfaces that allow custom-integrated positioning and alignment solutions to be easily programmed in the development language of choice.A range of video tutorials is available to help explain our APT system software.

Unfortunately, the actuators are not removable as they screws holding them in place are epoxied.It would be great if you had a similar model, but smaller xy profile, say between 50x50mm and 75x75mm. Standard components such as posts, rails, translation stages, and optic mounts are available alongside a diverse offering of lens tubes and cage systems. Regarding the maximum scan rate this depends on the capacitance of the piezo element and the maximum output current of the piezo driver.

Requirements: Python (I used 3.6) The flexure mechanism used in these translation stages is a frictionless mechanism that has improved positioning and resolution when compared to similar stages made using bearings. Thorlabs' NanoFlex™ flexure stages are compact stages that offer translation without friction or sticking. These stages are held in position by a spring force on the actuator, and thus, a locking screw is not necessary.As shown in the image to the right, this stage is also compatible with the SLH1 Microscope Slide Spring Clips sold below.

Please contact us at TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you want to discuss this matter further.Hi, is there any way I can attach the NF15AP25/M to the MS3/M? Thank you for using our Feedback Tool. A variety of The KPZNF15(/M) bundle includes the NF15AP25(/M) stage, KPZ101 K-Cube piezo controller, USB cable, piezo drive cable, and The KPZ101 can be controlled by its top panel for standalone operation or through its PC interface.

These errors can be avoided by using a multi-axis translation stage where the degrees of freedom are controlled by parallel linkages. Thanks.Response from Javier at Thorlabs to mabashin: The capacitance of the piezo used in the NF15AP25 is 5 uF +/- 30% (@1V, 1kHz)What is the capacitance of the piezo on the NF15AP25?Single-Axis Flexure Translation Stages: 1.5 mm TravelNanoFlex™ 1.5 mm Travel Translation Stage with 25 µm Piezo Actuator, MetricNanoFlex™ 1.5 mm Travel Translation Stage with 25 µm Piezo Actuator, ImperialNanoFlex™ 1.5 mm Travel Stage & KPZ101 Piezo Driver, MetricNanoFlex™ 1.5 mm Travel Stage & KPZ101 Piezo Driver, Imperial±15 V/5 V Power Supply Unit with Mini-DIN Connectors for up to Two K- or T-CubesUSB Controller Hub and Power Supply for Three K-Cubes or T-CubesUSB Controller Hub and Power Supply for Six K-Cubes or T-Cubes These tutorials provide an overview of the software and the APT Config utility. Often I have some optics assembly that I want to attached a vacuum system (such as with the VFA275 conflat mount adapter) but also want to be able to x-y displace the entire cage assembly. The spring clips include two 8-32 (M4) threaded shoulder screws with a 3/32" (2.5 mm) hex socket for simple attachment to the stage.These steel spring clips, ideal for securely holding various sizes of microscope slides and The inclusion of three Ø1/8" x 1/4" dowel pins make these spring clips an excellent choice for use with our XYT1(/M) (sold above) and Please note that any XYR1(/M) stage purchased before June 4, 2014 does not have dowel pin holes in the top mounting plate.I would like to see more specs for this stage. The NF15AP25(/M) translation stages are shipped with three M2 cap screws, an Allen key, and a 3 m long male SMC to male SMC cable.We offer stages bundled with controllers at a discounted price. Re: MoveComplete with Thorlabs translation stage? falkpl. The eight 4-40 tapped holes are placed around the central through hole for use with our The SLH1 spring clips are designed to securely hold various sizes of microscope slides and For applications that require rotation along with X and Y translation, Thorlabs also offers an The XYT1 translation stage is an excellent choice for use as a sample stage in a custom imaging application. These dowel pins center the middle of a 1" × 3" microscope slide over the through hole, as well as allow the user to repeatedly and accurately position the slides on the stage. This height leads to an amplification of any angular roll, pitch, or yaw errors in the base stage.
