Optical Surfaces Introduces New Range Of High Precision Motorized Optical Mounts

Kenley, UK -- Optical Surfaces Ltd. have 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 or flat mirrors in applications where stability of pointing motorized optical mounts are designed for positioning large precision optics such as off-axis paraboloids & spherical is important. The new range comprises four standard models covering optical apertures from 305 mm (12 inches) to 550 mm (21.6 inches). The 305mm motorised optical mounts offers +/- 7 degree rotation in the elevation and azimuth axes.

Built for trouble-free operation, the motorized 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 motorized 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 Ltd. are a complete range of manual mounts for optics from 100 mm to 600 mm diameter.
