TILTRA
Tip/Tilt and nanopositioning systems for segmented optics and ultra-fine motion systems
Purpose & use cases
FOGALE’s TILTRA Tip/Tilt systems provide ultra-precise angular and nanometric displacement sensing for applications where alignment, stability and responsiveness are critical.
Designed for scientific, astronomical and high-precision industrial systems, MultiTilt allows:
- Tip/tilt alignment of mirror segments or optical assemblies
- Closed-loop motion control with nanometric resolution
- Real-time correction of ultra-fine dynamic displacements
Architecture & key components
- Capacitive or inductive angular displacement sensors (custom geometries available)
Proven applications
- Segment control in ground-based astronomical telescopes (e.g. ELT)
- Tip/tilt sensing in adaptive optics and beamline components
Key Advantages
- Sub-microradian resolution in compact, stable form factors
- Compatible with extreme environments
- Integration-ready for both lab instrumentation and large observatories
- Non-contact, wear-free motion feedback
- Used in nanometric alignment platforms for optics and research
Services Available
- Mechanical and sensor adaptation to segmented or mobile structures
- Custom system design for nanometric motion and tip/tilt tracking
- On-site validation for integration in observatories, metrology platforms
- Long-term support for scientific and research infrastructures
