Positioning Equipment for Automated Fiber Optics Device Manufacturing: Practical Ways to Solve Challenging Problems
Positioning Equipment for Automated Fiber Optics Device Manufacturing: Practical Ways to Solve Challenging Problems
Wed, Apr 22, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
For fiber optics manufacturing, selecting and implementing the right positioning subsystem is critical for automated alignment, probing, and packaging equipment. This webinar, presented by Aerotech Inc., will explain how to optimize the performance of automated positioning systems in the most difficult fiber optics manufacturing processes. Attendees will learn how to achieve the positioning resolution that meets alignment tolerances, as well as how to achieve repeatability in high-volume manufacturing environments. Anyone using positioning equipment to solve fiber optics manufacturing challenges will benefit from attending.
