Customer Application
Imec USA uses two of Zaber's X-LRT1500DL-E08 linear stages to make an XZ system, as well as, two of Zaber's X-RST120AK-E03 rotary stages to build a 2-axis gimbal system. The two set-ups make a synthetic aperture radar test bed for testing and application exploration. The system allows for the measurement and synthesis of planar and curved arrays. The imaging array is synthesized by mechanically scanning a single element. The system supports the investigation of phenomenology, which is how things look at the sensor wavelength.
According to the end-user, "Zaber's stages are very easy to integrate and control. The built-in controllers and encoders are a great feature. I like the manual control knob feature as well because it makes assembly and alignment of the systems very quick."
