Controllers
With the SMC - product line MICOS offers a very interesting controller concept. Only modernst technologies are used. From the well-known control SMC compact some new developments arised which enlarge considerably the product spectrum. But the compatibility to all news is guaranteed by the consistent implementation of Venus-1 command language! Well legible ASCll-commands of the integrated VENUS interpreter (app. 150 commands depending on the option or extension step) facilitate the implementation to all current standard languages in any operating systems what ever. 32 Bit-high power processors (Transputer / RISC-processors) make sure that up to 4 axes can work at the same time with highest resolution and speed. Depending on the variant a cascadation of several modules is possible. The noise development of the stepper motor is strongly reduced by a special drive principle and the micro-step operation. Also very slow positioning velocities from 1 µm/s or less guarantee a continuous move of the motion.

In addition to the serial interface RS-232, it is possible to offer a parallel interface IEEE. All user parameters are laid down in a non-volatile storage. The optional operation in closed-loop is very interesting. Linear- and rotation measuring systems can be connected directly. We like to draw your attention to the joystick-mode. Via an analog joystick (2- or 3 axes) the process units can be with real feeling visually positioned. The power supply is designed for a high tension range ( 85-250 V (AC) ) so that at a world-wide use you are independent of the respective power supply. For the first operation of the system a Windows-user interface WinPos-Light is supplied. All operating parameters can be adjusted without problems. It is also possible to create positioning programs. For complex applications the full version of the windows-user interface WinPos is available. This one contains a.o. teach-in, distance generator and various tools which improve the comfort.

Albatros®
Up to now the use of optomechanical construction systems for optics and laser technology is necessary in the labs of scientists and engineers for research and development. The Albatros ® system with an optical height of 65 mm is designed to support and simplify the layout of optical systems and laser systems in scientific labs and industry. The precise and handy components of this system are established in many labs around the world since 1991. The easy use and the adaptability of the Albatros® components even to other systems explains the constant success in the market.

Moskito®
The industry is forced to shrinkt heir products to dimensions where conventional equipment reaches its limits. Consequently miCos decided to offer a miniaturized optomechanical system with all necessary components to support the scientists and engineers in their work. The optical height of 1" (25.4 mm) and useful high precision components make small system layouts in short time schedules and affordable prices possible.
Campus®
The use of lasers in a variety of research fields, industry, medicine and finally in many products of daily life demands a qualified education and training of students in laser technology from uni versitie s, technical high schools and vocational schools. These institutions are addressed by miCos, the series of educational laser kits from miCos developed to support and improve practical laser training. Within this product line 7 laser training systems of the topics optics fundament als, laser basics , laser metrology, fiber optics and telecommunications, laser material processing, and laser applications are presented. Besides these products miCos offers support for elaboration of suited curriculums for laser courses, design of the laboratories and advice in equipment selection with concepts for complete laser training facilities. Last but not least, training courses for all experimental systems are held at ’ place as well as at your site.
