Manual optical mounts available in five days
Aerotech is adding manual optical mounts to its Fast Delivery Service, guaranteeing a five-day turnaround for urgent orders with no extra costs incurred.
There are eight models in the AOM110 series for optical component diameter/thickness from 50.8mm/12.7mm to 304.8mm/53.85mm. With a track record of successful applications in major fusion and high-powered laser research projects, a patented manual positioning screw provides ultra-fine position control with sub arc-second resolution, and the robust frame provides high vibration resistance and excellent thermal stability.
Ball bearing gimbal pivots and spring-based preload ensure low stiction, backlash-free motion over the full travel range and permits mounting in any plane, including upside down. An improved non-marring component clamp screw and rotating clip allow rigid placement of optical components, and a modified base design allows transmission of larger diameter beams at a 45-degree incidence.
Other products covered by Aerotech's Fast Delivery Service include ADRS direct-drive rotary stages, ATS series direct-drive linear stages, 23 and 34 NEMA frame brushless servomotors, and Soloist CP motion controllers. Lead times from the manufacturing plant are 10 working days for stages and under five days for motion controls.
The FDS programme is available throughout Europe from Aerotech's UK and German sales offices or through appointed distributors.
