Pro-Lite Technology LLP has released the SYS 65 optical rail system from OWIS.
The SYS 65 comprises a modular series of optical rails, slides and mounting accessories that allows the researcher to create and modify experimental beam-handling setups.
The rails provide an optical beam height of 65mm above the mounting surface, and are available with a choice of slotted holes or counter bores for mounting or as four-sided profile rails for building multi-axis (3D) assemblies.
The fixing holes of the rails with counter bores are suitable for mounting on equipment featuring standard thread grids consisting of M6 female threads spaced at 25 or 50mm.
The rails with slotted holes are compatible with a variety of optical tables and other equipment, for example tables with non-metric thread grids, which allows the rails to be mounted in numerous directions.
Slides are mounted on a rail and optical components are directly mounted on the slides.
The dovetail profile of the rails enables flexible positioning of the slides along the beam axis, while ensuring high stability and repeatability.
A range of manual and motorised positioning equipment is available for use with the SYS 65 rails, including goniometers as well as stages for angular adjustment, elevation, linear translation, rotation and XY positioning.
If a standard positioning stage is not available to complete a desired configuration, a customised part can be supplied.
All components of the OWIS system are placed on the same defined beam height, which avoids the need for multiple adaptor plates.
