MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the KD-5100 differential measurement system for night vision systems, precision telescope positioning, fast steering mirrors (FSM) for space-based and airborne applications, and image stabilization systems.
The KD-5100 provides positional resolution to a nanometer, and offers a stable design with extremely small size, and low power consumption.
The motion control device measures 2 by 2.12 by 0.75 inches, and is manufactured to MIL-H-38534, with MIL-SPEC components used throughout the electronics module wherever possible.
The KD-5100 features rugged construction, with a mean time between failures of better than 238,000 hours in a space flight environment and 55,000 hours in a tactical environment.
Kaman also offers the DIT-5200, a commercial version of the KD-5100 for applications where mil-spec requirements, size, weight and power consumption are not critical.
