Chromatic dispersion can be characterised with high accuracy from a single fibre end and testing polarisation mode dispersion from a single end is also possible.
Users can go from product development to full manufacturing using the same software routines and multiple hardware configurations.
This minimises time to volume, a critical factor for component manufacturers.
The NanoRobot Developer System is a precise, flexible solution that can be used in the lab as well as on the production floor for active alignment applications including planar lightguide circuits, transceivers, multiport devices, collimating lenses, fibre arrays etc.
The developer system consists of NanoRobot hardware, powerful nanoalignment software and a vision system.
The NanoRobot hardware incorporates patented Inchworm motor technology to provide unprecedented nanoalignment performance.
The software is the most advanced in the industry for nanoalignment and features a library of script-based routines that are ready to use from the start.
The vision system includes an adjustable mounting system.
Test and measurement capabilities are easily added from EXFO's broad range of high-performance products.
"The new NanoRobot Developer System allows manufacturers of photonics components to reduce their costs because they can quickly move from high-end R and D to high-volume manufacturing with the same automated solution", said David Farrell, President of Burleigh Instruments, a wholly owned subsidiary of EXFO.
"Our NanoRobot Developer System offers the superior performance component manufacturers expect from EXFO nanoalignment products and simplifies transfer of motion, software and vision technology from the lab to the manufacturing floor.
Instead of automating a manual process, smart component manufacturers are automating assembly and alignment right from the start".
