The SPI Control Box is a 3-channel controller interface that is optimized for NV200/D NET amplifiers and supports up to three single- or multi-axis positioners. With real-time synchronous communication via DP Port and USB-C (Ethernet), it offers 16-bit resolution and 2 MB memory with DMA channels for fast, precise control. Operating within -40°C to +85°C, it guarantees minimal error (0.05–0.15%) and efficient integration with dedicated NV200 drivers.
The power amplifier LE 150/100 EBW has an idle bandwidth of 70,000 Hz and 1 A output current. This amplifier is specially designed to be used with hpower actuators at highest working frequencies. The high bandwidth, high current and low noise features make it perfect for high-frequency vibration excitation testing and modal analysis.
The HVP 1000/200 power amplifier is designed to drive hpower actuators with a high charging currents for pulse operation in “on-off” square-wave mode. In this operation a current of 200 amps flows for a short time. The voltage increases in the hpower actuator a few μs. The rise time and the discharge time can be modified based on specific requirements. Applications for this system include model analysis, vibration control, material testing and mechanical engineering.
Piezoelectric driven switches are especially designed for high switching speeds in the millisecond range. Piezoelectric actuators enable the optical switch to couple optical fibers with an accuracy of few micro.
The high accuracy positioning of the actuators guarantees a light transmission of >80%, with a typical switching time of <1 ms. Other fiber switches with optical components such as lenses or prisms will always result in a wavelength dependent limitation.
The small size of the switching box and the easy control make these fiber optic switches ideally suited for use as components of spectrometers or other metrology devices. Switches with many more output channels can be easily achieved by cascading fiber switch modules.
Humidity Resistant Fiber Switches
Fiber switches are now also available in special humidity resistant models. By applying a silicon coating to internal components, these unique fiber switches are shielded from high levels of moisture in the air. This greatly increases their ability to withstand relative humidity up to 98% before failure. These special humidity resistant fiber switches are ideal for humid industrial environments, and applications involving operation in non-climate-controlled spaces. This functionality is available in all fiber switch configurations, will not increase lead time, and adds minimal cost.
