• Integrating flight hardware, performing RF
  testing of a radar system, or optical testing of
  a spacecraft instrument are several applications
  where precision alignment material handling
  solutions are valuable.

• Cantilevered Precision Tip / Tilt / Rotate with
  Height Adjustment
• This Flotron Integration Fixture is used to
  install boxes on the underside of a spacecraft
  without the use of an overhead crane. All six
  degrees of freedom are addressed with mechanized
  lift, a dual stage slide, and a tip/tilt/rotate
  stage.

• Precision Alignment with Motorized Height
  Adjustment
• This RF Testing fixture uses an electromechanical
  lift system to position the payload vertically.
  A precision tooling ball system rotates the tool
  around three perpendicular axes until the payload
  is precisely aligned via the customers laser
  alignment system.

• Split Ring Rotation Precision Alignment
• Rotating a large cylindrical payload when
  interfaces are not available at its ends can in
  some cases be accomplished with split ring
  interface hardware. This Test Fixture is capable
  of rotating the payload 360 degrees with an
  angular velocity ranging from 1/10th RPM up to 1
  RPM using a UL approved motor and control system.
