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.

MVG Performance Series heavy duty AZ/EL positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems with turntable diameters up to 48.0 in (1,219 mm). They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporate new engineering advances.

The LCU AL-4189 - Local Control Unit is a hand-held control box specifically designed and built to be used in conjunction with ORBIT/FR controllers and PCU’s. It provides the attendant (operator, serviceman etc.) with a high degree of flexibility in operating the system elements.

MVG Performance Series heavy duty AZ/EL/AZ positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems with turntable diameters up to 70.9 in (1,800 mm). They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporate new engineering advances.

The Null Seeker Positioner is used in development and production testing to emulate flight movement of a device encasing null-seeker sensors. Its high motion dynamics and ultra-precise angular positioning, rates, and acceleration allow for accurate evaluations of null seeker technology (ie. RF signal nulls transmitted from directive antennas).

AL-38000 model towers are suited for light duty applications with an operating load of up to 150 lbs (68 kg). This series is available with either a manual or motorized linear offset slide. Manual slides can be hand-pushed or hand-wheeled. The mast (vertical or inclined) is available in fiberglass or aluminum construction.

AL-58000 model towers are suited for very heavy duty applications with an operating load of up to 17,600 lbs (8,000 kg). They have durable steel masts, which can be vertical or inclined (limited to specific loads). They are available with a steel linear offset slide that is manual hand-wheel style, manual fixed step, or motorized.
