TM-1 Display Positioning Platform

The TM-1 Display Positioning Platform is designed to assist the SS400 series' customers with the placement and orientation of displays under test.  Through the use of this platform, a display can be positioned in the pitch and yaw axis.  The platform is suitable for both CRT and flat panel displays and will support loads up to 100 pounds.

The TM-1 is a very handy addition to the display test environment.  It is helpful in general testing, but is extremely important when making reflectance measurements to assist in the accurate alignment.   Off-axis measurements can be augmented with the platform by extending the measurable angles.

The TM-1 is constructed using 3/8 inch black anodized aluminum plate as the top platform surface, along with the base plate.  The top plate has a 1/2 inch ground shaft mounted to it, and a bushing with a ball thrust bearing supporting the rotation axis.  Two roller bearing wheels support the top plate at the cantilever end.  At the opposite end, a leveling mount is mounted to the base plate that adjusts the base plate in tilt.  The rotation axis has a locking mechanism to keep the top plate in position once adjusted.

ZM-1 Display Positioning Platform

The ZM-1 table has been developed to aid our customers in the testing of displays. This table allows the operator to position the display on the table and move it effortlessly towards or away from the SS410/SS420 measurement system. With the optional absolute digital metering system (ZM-1-Dig), the UUT can be accurately positioned at a fixed distance away from the testing apparatus in either metric or English units.

The construction of the table consists of 3/8 inch aluminum top and bottom plates that are finished in black anodize plating. The lower plate has 3/4 inch shafting which is supported throughout the length with aluminum rail supports. The top plate has four linear bearings which mate with the rails. The unit is manually positioned and a locking mechanism allows a permanent placement.

An added convenience of the table is that the vertical height of the table can be changed with an optional set of extensions which can increase the height to meet your specific needs. This is convenient since most displays need to be elevated in order to measure the lower regions of the display. Also, the ZM-1 can be used with the TM-1 table (tilt and rotation) to provide a three axis adjustment, which is very useful when making measurements of flat panels where the alignment is critical for tests such as the ISO 13406-2.

SpotSeeker Positioners (SS30, SS50, SS60 & SS70)

Microvision's standard Positioners are five axis mechanical positioning systems, designed specifically for the Microvision SS400 Display Measurement Series.

	Perfected over 15 years, a trouble-free, accurate and economical package has resulted. All drive amplifiers and interface electronics are packaged into the base of the stage resulting in a clean, uncluttered work area with only the power cord and interface cables visible.
	The unit can be driven under full computer control or via a mouse in manual mode. Various speed ranges and stepping resolutions can be computer selected.
	Complete test sequences are enabled when using this unit to provide auto focus, orientation and position, horizontal and vertical translation.
	SS300 series products commonly rely on functions such as "home", "go-to", "reset", "seek to pixel ", and "auto focus".
	SS300 series optic modules are attached to the Positioner via a quick connect/disconnect mount to enable quick change-over between units.
	A conversion package allows the Positioner to be inclined horizontally for measurements on displays in the horizontal position.

Shown above is the SS30 Positioner with the SS420 Goniometer 
and the optional TM-1 Display Positioning Platform.

** SS60/SS70 Stepping Resolution is larger in Horizontal Axis and Speed is Faster.
