New high-resolution mini encoder
New high-resolution mini encoderThe new TRACKER is a high-resolution mini magnetic position sensor with on-chip digital encoding. Smallest size and 2 micron resolution make it a cost-effective alternative to miniature optical encoders. Insensitive to external light, it's ideal for imaging applications such as miniature cameras.

When you really need it to stay
When you really need it to stayThe 7020 Ultra-stable Large Mirror Mount series was created without compromise to insure your high power beam doesn't go wander off. Designed in concert with the National Ignition Facility, it easily eclipses the stability of other large kinematic mounts in any class. Its novel face clamps securely hold the optical component down while minimizing wavefront distortion. The mount that just sits there and stays.
