3-Dimensional Manipulator Light Duty (3DM-01LD)

3-Dimensional Manipulator Light Duty (3DM-01LD)

The TDK 3DM-01LD 3-D Manipulator is designed for remote three-dimensional positioning of test objects in EMC test environments.

The TDK RF Solutions 3DM-01LD is a three-dimensional manipulator used for remote positioning of antennas or equipment under test (EUT) in EMC test environments. The 3DM-01LD is used with a turntable to allow a complete three-dimensional pattern to be constructed. The turntable provides information for one axis and the 3DM-01LD provides accurate elevation rotation. This combination permits rotation of a test object in polar coordinates for three-dimension characterization of the test object. The test object can be rotated in Θ and Φ independently, allowing positioning of the object in any particular plane about its axis. The 3DM-01-LD is supports up to 1 kg.

Remote Control
The 3DM-01LD can be remotely controlled by the TDK RF Solutions SI-300 system interface unit. Remote control of the 3DM-01LD is achieved by use of fiber optic links, eliminating a potential interference source and distance limitations.
