Agilent HP 5517B

The Agilent HP 5517B is a laser interferometer module manufactured by Agilent. It has the characteristics of high reliability, high precision and fast response, and can be widely used in various industrial control fields. The module uses high-quality electronic components and materials, which undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure stable operation in harsh industrial environments12.

The HP 5517B laser interferometer module has a wide range of output types and is s

calable and easy to maintain. It supports a variety of input voltages, such as AC 200V~230V, and offers the option of single phase/three phase input or three phase input. In addition, it has a built-in single-axis positioning control function, as well as 8-segment position speed control function, equivalent to a simple PLC function. It also supports MODBUS communication controls (such as RS-485, RS-422, RS-232), as well as ASCII and RTU communication protocols 2.

When it comes to precision dual-frequency interferometry, the HP 5517B module shows superior performance. Its linear optical system can reach a maximum speed of 1.2 m/s, a reference frequency of more than 4.4 MHZ, and offers options to support higher frequencies. In addition, its warm-up time is 45 minutes if the fan and exhaust are connected to the ventilation cover. The standard laser beam diameter is 6 mm, but there are options to support a diameter of 9 mm. The minimum output power is 180 watts and the maximum output power is 1 milliwatt, but the output power will decrease after many years of use. As for input power requirements, it supports a maximum of 3.0 amps and offers a voltage range of plus or minus 15 volts 3.
