Web site

The enhanced Web site of Owis GmbH features a new layout and a menu structure that are designed to help visitors quickly locate relevant information. A “support and download” area provides access to catalogs, manuals and folders on the company’s products, which include optical components, nano positioning systems, optical beam handling systems, and manual and motorized positioning systems. An extension of customer services enables visitors to request a call back, to seek advice from a sales engineer or to obtain information on a specific application. The “resolution calculator” enables them to determine the nominal (theoretical) resolution of a positioning unit driven by a step or DC servomotor, following entry of the motor/encoder resolution and the mechanical parameters.

There are 481 suppliers of Positioning in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
positioning: Positioning generally refers to the determination or identification of the location or placement of an object, person, or entity in a specific space or relative to a reference point. The term is used in various contexts, and the methods for positioning can vary depending on the application. Key aspects of positioning include: Spatial coordinates: Positioning often involves expressing the location of an object in terms of spatial coordinates. These coordinates may include dimensions such as...
