Opto-Mechanical Components and Motion Control Systems

Standa designs and manufactures opto-mechanical components and motion control systems. It produces devices like motion stages, optical tables, vibration isolation systems, and lasers, and also develops custom OEM solutions combining mechanics, optics, and laser technologies.

What does Standa manufacture?

1HT honeycomb optical table with 1VIS pneumatic supports

Honeycomb Table Tops 1HT provide the base on which precision optical and laser work is performed. The table tops have a honeycomb core inside. The table tops meet high requirements for rigidity, flatness, vibration isolation and damping.

5KVDOM-1 optical mount

Ultra-stable Kinematic Mirror Mounts 5VDOM-1 are designed to minimize mount-induced wavefront distortions. In conventional mounts, the mirror is tightened by a side screw. Radial forces acting on the mirror induces parasitic wavefront distortion, such as astigmatism. 5VDOM-1 mirror mounts use secure 3-points mirror suspension in between frontal flat spring and the back plate. Uniformly distributed axial forces eliminate wavefront distortion.

8MTL linear translation stage and 8MRL torque motor stage

Standa Motorized Translation Stages of 8MTL series are based on 3 phase ironless linear brushless servo motor technology. Direct drive technology allows users to reach zero backlash motion with high accuracy, repeatability and low friction. Linear non-contact optical encoder as a feedback system guarantees direct control of position with sub-nanometer resolution of motion. Meanwhile, the Standa 8MRL series rotation stages are based on direct drive torque motors in order to avoid mechanical inaccuracies (e.g. backlash) and reach high dynamical response of rotation system. Ironless design of motor allows high acceleration and high velocity.
