Five-Axis Optical Mounts
-
Lockable 5-axis optical positioning
-
True gimbal tip/tilt adjustments
-
Optional baseplates for slotted hole mounting
For the ultimate in five-axis positioning of lenses and other optics, our five-axis optical positioners provide stable XYZ and gimbaled azimuth and elevation adjustment. The innovative design yields true gimbal positioning about two orthogonal coplanar axes. The five independent axes allow you to control the positioning an optic in any plane along any axis.
Translation in X, Y, azimuth and elevation is accomplished with a high resolution 100-pitch thumb screw. Positioning along the optical axis or Z direction is non-rotational by use of a zoom lever attached to the mount housing. The positioning mechanisms in all three linear axes are lockable to secure your optics position once alignment has been achieved.
We offer five-axis mounts to hold 1/2 inch, 1 inch and 2 inch optics. In addition, adapters may be purchased to mount optics of different diameters. All mounts have inch or metric threaded holes on the bottom to accommodate our post and post holder mounting system. Optional baseplates are offered to provide convenient slotted hole mounting configurations.
