FPS3010 in Quality Control
Especially in the field of nanopositioning, it is important to maintain a
high quality in production processes. Optical sensing in quality control
can help to reduce risks to a minimum by achieving high quality standards.
The FPS series of optical displacement measurement sensors with its broad
range of optical collimators is ideally suited to detect and limit production
errors to a minimum.

Long Distance and High Speed Displacement Measurements
2 µm
The FPS interferometer allows the user to measure a target’s relative displacement with sub-Nanometer resolution and real-time position output
at 10 MHz bandwidth. Various applications in industry as well as in science
and research and development require the precise detection of a target’s
position at high velocities as well as long distances. As shown in the
application note, the FPS3010 is now able to measure displacements at
distances of up to 3 m and velocities of up to 2 m/s.

Contactless Frequency Analysis of Motor Vibrations
Machine vibrations can be tracked using the FPS3010 and used for monitoring the health status of a gear or machine. Described in Application
Note SEN13, a motor was rotated at different speeds and its vibrations
measured on the outer shell of the motor. Eigen-resonances of the machine
could be identified, which helped to improve the setup of a customer. With
the FPS3010, attocube provides a perfect tool to efficiently and precisely
characterize such vibrations.
