Developed and manufactured by MPS Microsystems based on customer specifications, this lens actuator forms an essential component of a laser guidance system for unmanned flying objects. It enables 2 lens groups to be displaced individually over a total range of 48 mm and makes it possible to focus a laser over a distance of several kilometres. The main technical difficulty inherent to this actuator lies in meeting very stringent requirements for alignment between the two lens groups (< 10 µm) and in maintaining a very small tilt of the lenses over their entire stroke (lateral deviation < 2 µm). The key part making it possible to ensure such specifications is a frame machined by milling from an aluminium block, into which the 2 drive systems are fastened. These systems each consist of a Ø16 mm brushless motor and a Ø4 mm ball screw with an axial play of less than 5 µm. Backlash-free and frictionless sliding of the lens holders is ensured by standard L306 linear ball bearings manufactured by MPS Microsystems.

Weight Reduction: Eliminates complex hydraulic lines, pumps, and fluids, thereby reducing overall aircraft weight. Maintenance Efficiency: Simplifies maintenance requirements by removing hydraulic components that are prone to leakage and degradation. Improved Reliability: Provides precise braking control with fewer mechanical parts, resulting in higher system reliability and reduced downtime. Integration with Advanced Systems: Enables seamless connection with modern avionics and aircraft health monitoring systems, supporting predictive maintenance and optimized performance.

The aviation industry was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and is only now beginning to recover. We convened industry leaders from Honeywell Aerospace and asked what carriers can expect in the short-to-midterm as they emerge from the downturn.

The X-BEAM TECH HXB Connectors, featuring expanded beam technology, hermaphroditic connection, rugged construction for field deployment have been designed for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, avionics, offshore systems, outside broadcast, mining and plant. The expanded beam technology uses expanded and collimated beams to couple optical fibers without any contact. It could allow for optics to be used in areas that have been quite restrictive due to presence of damage or contamination at the fiber end. Hermaphroditic connector design enables fast deployment by daisy-chaining multiple cable segments. HXB series connectors also enable transfer of electrical signal or power using hybrid insert configuration.

Rugged 2mm backplane connector system is a compliant PICMG Compact PCI standard solution that provides engineers with an advanced interconnect system to address the requirements of mission-critical applications within commercial aerospace, space and defense market segments.
