Gauge block calibration system
The EPP 01 Gauge Block Calibration System can not only yield faster, more accurate results (+/-10nm) but also lower to ~15 the number of gauge blocks needed to calibrate a 122 block set.
Fused silica wafers added
Armstrong Optical now includes a series of fused silica wafers in its offering, ideal substrates for many applications.
By using linear bearings manufactured from titanium and ceramic balls the residual magnetism can be kept as low as 0.005 Gauss (5 x 10-7 Tesla).
Immunity to magnetic fields is not just accomplished by using suitable materials to keep forces low, but also by using electronic components that will operate undisturbed in the high field strengths.
The non-magnetic stages are available as single linear axis, crossed X, Y, rotational and tilt options in a variety of sizes and travel dimension, and are also ready for high vacuum operation.
