Newport MKS Tip/Tilt and Rotation Platform, SM-13 Micrometers, M6 Thread M-37

The M-37 Metric Multi-axis Tilt Platform provides tilt and rotation adjustments for aligning optical components. It is kinematic, with hardened and polished steel ball pivots and spring-preloaded spherical-tipped adjustments acting on hardened steel seats. It provides full, three-axis angular orientation freedom and features two tilt adjustments plus rotation using SM-13 micrometers that allow a component to be oriented parallel with an arbitrary plane. When used with an XYZ stage, it provides six degrees of freedom for total positioning capability. Tip, Tilt and Rotation These multi-axis platforms provide tip, tilt and rotation adjustments for aligning optical components. Model 36 has an elevation tilt adjustment and a rotation adjustment that rotates the mounting platform about the kinematic pivot point — ideal for use as a pointer. Model 37 provides full, three-axis angular orientation freedom. When used with an XYZ stage, it provides six degrees of freedom for total positioning capability. Model 39 provides two axes of angular adjustments, allowing a mounted component to be oriented parallel to an arbitrary plane. Linear Stage Compatible These tilt stages are ideally suited for mounting linear translations stages like the 423 and 443 to provide assemblies with full alignment capability. On the left, the 443 linear stage is mounted atop the Model 39 which provides tip/tilt adjustment. On the right, Model 36 is mount to an xy stack of 423 linear stages.
