Manual Rotation and Tilt Stage Selection Guide
Newport produces a comprehensive line of rotation and tilt stages to meet virtually any requirement. The product line includes standard rotation stages, which can be combined with our linear translation stages to provide multi-axis positioning, post-mountable rotary stages which have a clear center aperture intended for mounting and rotating polarization optics, and wide a selection of tip/tilt/rotation platforms which provide angular adjustment in one to three axes for aligning optics and other components.

To assist in selecting a rotation stage or tilt platform please see the following specification tables. In addition to the manual stages listed here, Newport produces a wide range of motorized positioners. For more information, see the Motorized Positioning Chapter contact our Technical Support Team.
