MVG - Controllers, PCUs & LCUs - Simultaneous Positioner Controllers - 2 axis
The AL-4162 programmable positioner controller offers real-time control of positioning subsystems used in near-field and far-field antenna measurement systems. Typically, it may be configured to drive planar scanners and general purpose far-field positioners that are encoder-based or involve simultaneous motion.

More Product Information
MVG light duty EL/AZ positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction with platform sizes up to 12.6 x 12.6 in (320 x 320 mm). Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.
This unique dual-axis positioner is particularly suited for testing direction-sensing antennas. The virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system invariably behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
These MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series EL/AZ Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity of 2 axes, for the positioning of very large devices in test configurations.
Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio.
Typically, the unit includes the body, precise slew bearings, a DC motor, gear reducer, encoder/synchro, and limit switch assembly. The turntable surface is designed with a threaded mounting hole pattern for ease of use. A Safe/Operate switch is included to ensure safety.
The CISPR25 emc chamber is designed for emc compliance benchtop testing of automotive components and wiring harnesses . The MVG CISPR25 emc chamber is designed for the emc measurements using the requisite 1 m test distance and for a “typical bench” configuration of 2.5 m x 1.0 m. The unique design requires less volumetric space than traditional absorbers and still provides the volume required to have the requisite distances between the EUT and the walls and the emc absorber and the walls & ceiling. The chamber is designed with anechoic treatment that meets the specified attenuation in the CISPR 25 standard, and it is designed to meet the Long Wire testing specified in Annex J. The polypropylene emc absorber does not undergo the typical age-related deterioration of the typical “foam” polyurethane absorbers. The UH-series, polypropylene emc absorber is also applicable to the radar pulse testing required in some automotive test standards.
ULTRA UHC series polypropylene based broadband electromagnetic absorbers are the latest technology for RF test applications.
The polypropylene material has a highly uniform carbon density, throughout the material, which provides for more predictable results with no discontinuities.
It is the unique production technology which is the critical factor in achieving the highest electromagnetic reflectivity performance in an antenna measurement anechoic chamber or an emc chamber.
As an international EMC chamber supplier, we provide these polypropylene broadband absorbers for EMC test chambers worldwide.
A high performance RF-shielded EMC chamber specifically designed for emc measurements in accordance with MIL-STD-461E/F and RTCA DO160 requirements.
The AL-9504-2 Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Unit provides a central connection point for external emergency stop panic buttons and positioner controllers that are located throughout the system. In the event of an emergency stop, the AL-9504-2 will command the appropriate positioner controller to disconnect motor drive power on all axes.
Specific application to Automotive.
The Gold standard for EMC Anechoic Chambers, this 10 meter test range ensures EMC compliance testing Emission and Immunity testing and is compliant to ANSI C63.4/CISPR-16-1-4 with a Test Volume diameter of 4 meters or greater. The most versatile and accurate of EMC test chambers. Ferrite tiles and hybrid pyramidal absorbers allow for high accuracy and performance while meeting compact space requirements.
The MVG-Orbit/FR performance series has recently been expanded to include medium-duty, dual-axes positioners: the new AL-438X series. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical AZ/EL positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and
Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This particular series provides a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads. A large variety of options is available for this ORBIT/FR standard product family.
