The use of LEDs and laser chips, optical glass, detectors and image sensors, lenses, prisms, optical filters, gratings, and optical fibers is becoming more and more common in various vertical markets. Associated manufacturing processes for products including such components may include the alignment and attachment of free-space optics, the attachment of pigtails, fiber arrays, and waveguides coupled to various types of light source, and the assembly and testing of hybrid opto-electronic devices and high-power laser diodes. All such processes represent cutting-edge, high-precision production systems that utilize advanced automation approaches, regardless of the device material and target application. Modular system architectures are required, so that exploratory, proof-of-process development — as well as high-volume manufacturing requirements and anything in-between — are addressable. 

ALIO’s hybrid planar and point-precision motion system design is two orders of magnitude more precise than any competitive solution. They are perfect for the accurate, repeatable, and reliable positioning of tiny components over millions of cycles if one of the main considerations is the fast positioning of multi-axis systems with advanced functionalities like multiple tool center points/center points of rotation, maximized usable space, and fast active alignment.
