The Evolution of Photonics Alignment Techniques from Manual to Algorithm-Assisted, Automated Systems

· Scott Jordan

Alignment is crucial for effectiveness and performance in SiPh production. The industry has come a long way from manual processes to intelligent automation of photonics testing, assembly, and packaging. As the alignment of optics, fiber arrays, etc is the most time-consuming production step, new automated solutions improve yield, time-to-market, cost reduction, and scaling production volumes.

Hexapod Enables Highly Dynamic 6-D Compensation Kinematic for Robots

· Stefan Vorndran

Physik Instrumente developed a high-performance 6-DOF hexapod motion and positioning system for highly dynamic compensation kinematics in aircraft construction. The project's goal was to enhance the processing and sealing precision of CFRP-components in resin transfer molding manufacturing processes, while also reducing manufacturing times and process costs.
