Opto Sigma

OptoSigma accessories include the plug and play control pad to be used with the SHOT-202 and SHOT-204MS to manually program and control the movement of the SGSP Series motorized stages.

The grease gun and grease tubes are for lubrication of the stages by the user at the appropriate time on site without returning to the factory. When used as recommended this extends the use of the product over a longer lifetime.

After selecting the stage and controller that meets your need, you will then select the required cables to meet your specific application. We offer a complete line of cables of various lengths and will customize to your requirements.

OptoSigma offers a complete line of controllers to configure with SGSP series motorized stages to meet your demanding applications. Controllers are available to control one to four axes and can be linked together to operate additional axes. These controllers are designed to provide precision positioning both by manual operation and by using a personal computer. Control system is easily programmed using ActiveX and Labview and is compatible with Windows HyperTerminal.

The SHOT 302GS and SHOT-304-GS are closed-loop control systems. When used with the SGSP stages, resolution to 2nm is achieved. Many of the features make this controller an approprate control system for measurement and inspection applications.

Our motorized goniometers are based on our unique extended contact goniometers and offer a wide range of sizes and center heights.

These closed loop precision stages with integrated optical glass scale encoder feature a small footprint encoder head that fits completely in the body of even the smallest stages. A wide range of sizes are available - from 15mm travel up to 200mm travel.

The SGSP Series of motorized stages incorporate unique five-phase stepping motor and high-precision guide actuators to provide precise movements. The stages are available in a range of travels lengths and load capacities to meet your demanding requirements.

The five-phase stepper motor enables the SGSP Series stages to be light weight, compact and have less vibration than a standard stepping motor. The five-phase motor improves accuracy by increasing the number of steps. The result is finer mechanical resolution for precision micron stepping controlled motion.

The unibody shaped construction with integrated rail is precision honed to provide maximum stability. The construction results in a structure that resists the effects of pitch and yaw to provide the stability required for many applications.

The stages are available in X, XY, Z configurations with range of travel from 20-1500mm. Depending on the product you select the load capacity ranges from 5kg to 50kg. OptoSigma also offers additional stepper motor products including rotation and ZF stages.

OptoSigma offers a large variety of motorized positioning solutions. Our positioning stages are suitable for laboratory and OEM applications. If you would like help in selecting the most appropriate positioning device for your application please call. Our experienced Applications Engineers are ready to help in any way they can.

The SGSP Series motorized optics holders utilize the unique Five-phase stepping motor and high-precision actuators to provide precise controlled stepping movements. The motorized optics holders offers smooth continuous 360 degree movement and positional repeatability to within 0.02 degrees. These features make them suitable for many laboratory and OEM applications.

The motorized optics holders are available in Glan-Thompson prisms, wave plates and variable ND filters versions. The Glan-Thompson and wave plate mounted versions can control the polarization of light by automating the rotation of the polarizers.

The variable ND filter wheels are convenient tools for adjustment of beam intensity. They can be mounted in an optical path and rotated to increase or decrease the beam attenuation. The filters have a 0.04-2.7 variation in optical density over the full rotation.

There are two types offered, BK7 and synthetic fused silica. For further information about Glan-Thompson prisms, wave plates or variable ND filters please refer to the optics section of this site. If you would like assistance in selecting the most appropriate optical components and positioning device, please contact our experienced Applications Engineers.

Piezo Stages offer very fine resolution over a limited range of less than 1mm. 

Rotation stages from OptoSigma feature five-phase stepper motors, 360 degree continuous motion, positional repeatability to ≤0.02 degrees, a low, compact profile, and dual axis for independent rotation around a common axis. Adapters are available to hold a variety of optical components.

Optional software for use with our Stepper motor controllers.

The SGSP Series ZF motorized stages incorporate unique five-phase stepping motor and high-precision actuators to provide precise elevation movements. The stages are available in a range of travel heights and load capacities to meet your demanding requirements. The SGSP200-10ZF is designed as a low profile stage and to accommodate heavy loads up to 15kg. The SFSP80-20ZF stage has an innovative “L” shape top plate that provides additional 8-M4 on 25mm center mounting holes on one side.

The five-phase stepper motor enables the SGSP Series stages to be light weight, compact and have less vibration than a standard stepping motor. The five-phase motor improves accuracy by increasing the number of steps. The result is finer mechanical resolution for precision stepping controlled motion.

The stages provide accurate elevation and can be used with linear stages in many laboratory and OEM applications. If you would like assistance in selecting the most appropriate positioning device for your application our experienced Applications Engineers are ready to help.
