Newport’s NewStep miniature motorized actuators are an economical solution for motorizing mirror mounts, rotation stages, linear stages and other manual motion devices. They are ideal for remote adjustment of sensitive, hard-to-reach optical components which can be influenced by the compressive and torsional forces imposed by traditional manual adjustment micrometers. Typical applications include optimizing the alignment of a laser cavity, zeroing in on coherence lengths or just adjusting the pointing of a beam over a long distance. Vacuum compatible versions to 10^-6 hPa are available. Applications can also be automated using LabView or other software by sending basic commands to the NSC200 NewStep controller through the integrated RS485 port.
