DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements

FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.

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.

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.

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.

The AL-4164 and AL-4166 programmable controllers offer real-time control of positioning subsystems used in near-field and far-field antenna measurement systems. They may be configured to drive planar scanners and general purpose far-field positioners that are encoder-based or involve simultaneous motion.

These AZ/EL/AZ positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity in the positioning of light-duty antennas under test. Their compact and low-profile design optimizes space in test configurations as well as high operational performance, yielding the best size and weight performance ratio.

Their rugged and straightforward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.

MVG Series heavy duty AZ/EL positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction and offer turntable diameters up to 74 in (1880 mm). Rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.
