With high resolution and uni-directional repeatability, these mounts are designed to position large precision optics such as off-axis paraboloids and mirrors where stability of pointing is important
Optical Surfaces has launched a new range of motorised optical mounts.
Offering high resolution (to 0.1 arc second) and uni-directional repeatability (0.5 arc second) the new range of motorised optical mounts are designed for positioning large precision optics such as off-axis paraboloids and spherical or flat mirrors in applications where stability of pointing is important.
The new range comprises four standard models covering optical apertures from 305mm (12 inches) to 550mm (21.6 inches).
The 305mm motorised optical mounts offers +/-7deg rotation in the elevation and azimuth axes.
Robustly built for long trouble-free operation, even with heavier loads, the motorised optical mounts are available with stepper motor or where the highest resolution positioning is required a DC brush servo motor.
Remotely controllable via easy to use PC software the motorised optical mounts are particularly suitable for applications in hostile environments, within a vacuum or where limited space makes manual adjustment difficult.
Also available from Optical Surfaces is a complete range of manual mounts built to provide a secure and stable platform for optics from 100mm to 600mm diameter.
