NEW SCALE NEWS
YOUR UPDATE ON MICRO MOTION TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS
January 26, 2023
Dear Colleague,
We're looking forward to the SPIE AR/VR/MR conference, co-located with Photonics West, January 31 through February 2 in San Francisco.

Stop by our booth 263 (see floor plan) to discuss your VR/XR product designs, see live demos of our new rotary smart stage, and learn about other modules for precision embedded motion. We hope to see you there!

Motion motion modules solve VR/XR system design challenges

M3 "smart" motion modules offer practical solutions for lens motion, mirror motion and haptic feedback in wearable systems for extended reality (XR), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) devices.

They are lightweight and small, using low power and an embedded processor in the module. M3 modules enable motion features that enhance the quality and comfort of the XR experience. They support:

  • Visual realism.
  • Wearable comfort with optimized size, weight and power (SWaP).
  • Visual comfort to prevent headaches and other negative side effects of near-eye displays.
  • Haptic feedback for a more immersive experience.
NEW PRODUCT - SEE IT AT PHOTONICS WEST
Rotary microstage delivers smallest system size, fastest integration for precision embedded motion in smaller, more powerful instruments

The new M3-RS-U2-4.5-360 Rotary Smart Stage brings M3 Smart Stage advantages – high positioning resolution, smallest size, low power, fastest integration – to instruments needing precision embedded motion at lower cost for high-volume production.

With the built-in controller, the M3 Smart Stage simplifies the task of embedding high-precision rotary motion into scientific and industrial instruments. It provides point-to-point angular positioning with closed-loop resolution better than 0.022 degrees and bandwidth of ~100 Hz.

Applications include point-to-point beam steering and optical tuning in imaging systems, point-of-care and clinical instruments, next-gen sequencing (NGS) instruments, industrial measurement and spectroscopy instruments, laser printing and engraving systems, and more.

Specifications

  • Motion Range: 360 deg continuous rotation
  • Speed: >1,000 deg/sec (point-to-point positioning bandwidth ~100 Hz)
  • Payload Mass: 3 g (mounted to rotating shaft)
  • Resolution: ~0.022 deg with absolute encoding
  • Dimensions: 11.75 x 21.9 x 16 mm – including controller
  • Voltage/Power: 3.3 VDC, ~750 mW moving / 50 mW standby
  • Controller: 64 MIPS, integrated into stage
  • Interface: Direct input of I2C, SPI, UART, Analog Servo
