Newport FP-1 Fiber Optic XYZ Positioner

The Newport FP-1 Fiber Optic XYZ Positioner delivers precision three-axis alignment for bare fiber applications in laboratory and research settings. Fine-pitch adjustment screws across X, Y, and Z axes provide micrometer-level control with position locks on the lateral axes to eliminate drift during critical measurements and alignment procedures.

– Technical Specifications

Travel Range
• X, Y Axes: ±1.6 mm (±0.063 inches)
• Z Axis: ±3.6 mm (±0.14 inches)

Resolution
• X, Y Axes: 0.75 µm or 1.0 µm
• Z Axis: 1 µm

Adjustment Mechanism
• X, Y Axes: 100 TPI fine-pitch screws
• Z Axis: 80 TPI fine-pitch screws

Optical Axis Height: 25.4 mm (1 inch)

Mounting Interface: 8-32 and M4 threaded holes in base for post mounting

– Key Features

• Three independent axes of controlled movement with large-diameter knobs featuring integral hex holes
• Position locks on X and Y axes engage the mechanism itself, not just the actuator screws, minimizing positional drift
• Precision construction optimized for stable, repeatable positioning in demanding environments
• Designed specifically for bare fiber manipulation

– Typical Applications

Fiber alignment in optical coupling, splicing verification, wavelength-dependent positioning, and precision fiber positioning within optical test systems and microscopy setups.

– Compatibility & Integration

Accepts Newport FPH-S, FPH-S-2.5, FPH-J, and FPH-DJ series fiber chucks (ordered separately). Standard post-mount configuration integrates into existing optical benches and positioning systems.
