Products & Services
At the upcoming Asia Photonics Expo, SmarAct will showcase a range of modular, high-precision motion and assembly solutions designed to meet the increasing demands of fiber-to-PIC alignment, optical assembly, and fiber array integration. Our portfolio combines ultra-compact mechanics, multi-degree-of-freedom positioning systems, and advanced automation modules to enable precise, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing processes for photonic packaging.
SmarAct’s motion technologies—including piezo-based stages, electromagnetic direct drives, and parallel-kinematic systems—provide nanometer-level accuracy, high stiffness, and long-term stability.
All SmarAct systems are built on a fully modular architecture that supports flexible combinations of linear, rotary, and multi-axis motion modules. This modularity simplifies customization, accelerates prototype development, and ensures a seamless transition from R&D to high-volume production.
From single-fiber coupling to multi-channel photonic packaging, SmarAct’s technology platform delivers the precision, adaptability, and scalability required for next-generation photonic manufacturing workflows.
Fast Photonics Alignment
For fast and efficient alignment of optical components and silicon photonics, SmarAct provides modules and subsystems optimized for precision, compactness, speed, and force. The modules can be configured to handle virtually any alignment task, including:
– positioning and alignment of lenses,
– fiber-to-waveguide coupling,
– single-fiber and fiber-array alignment,
– alignment of optical components within assemblies,
Optical Assembly Solutions
With the increasing demand for miniaturized, high-performance optical systems, the need for precise and fully automated assembly solutions has never been greater. SmarAct optical assembly solutions deliver cutting-edge technology for the alignment, positioning, and integration of optical components with nanometer accuracy. Whether in photonics, laser technology, or fiber optics, our scalable approach to high-precision automation ensures that our solutions align perfectly with your application needs. From modular building blocks to comprehensive turn-key solutions, our technology enables maximum flexibility, seamless integration, and nanometer-precision performance across industries.
For research facilities, System integrators (OEM), and industrial users looking for customized solutions, SmarAct provides a high-performance toolbox of modules that can be individually selected and combined to create specialized setups. Each individual module can be furthermore customized to suit your needs.
Fiber Array Assembly
SmarAct’s fiber array assembly solutions enable precise, automated positioning of multi-channel optical fibers for low-loss coupling to photonic integrated circuits and other optical components. Built on SmarAct’s modular high-precision motion systems, these setups combine multi-degree-of-freedom alignment, nanometer-accurate positioning, and stable closed-loop control. The result is a repeatable and scalable process for assembling fiber arrays with optimal optical performance. Ideal for PIC packaging, photonics R&D, and volume manufacturing environments, SmarAct’s technology ensures high throughput, excellent alignment stability, and compatibility with a wide range of fiber array geometries and device platforms.
