Controllable to an accuracy measured in nanometres, the 6-axis APT manipulator is used for aligning fibre optic cables and manufacturing high value miniature components for the telecoms industry.
The compact device is significantly smaller than its predecessor, which raised some interesting design challenges with the mechanical construction and human interface. We worked with the scientists and engineers at Melles Griot to address these issues and even devised a Lycra gasket around the moving platform to prevent valuable components on the production line from being lost inside the mechanism!
