8 Axis Robotic Antenna Measurement System (RAMS)

RAMS

The 8-Axis Robotic Scanner is an ideal system for measuring antennas up to 30 inches (760 mm) in diameter. It is well suited to perform testing of high, medium and low gain antennas, since it offers PNF, CNF and SNF capabilities. The NSI-900R-10 uses a 6-axis precision robotic arm that acts as Y-axis for PNF & CNF and Theta-axis for SNF acquisitions. The 900R-10 also uses an NSI-SC-5838 (500 mm dia) rotation stage that is used as a Phi-axis for CNF and SNF acquisitions. This stage can support AUT loads of up to 10,000 lb (4,500 kg). The 900R-10 also uses an NSI-SC-5628 precision linear translation stage that is used as an X-axis for PNF acquisition and robot repositioning.
