LP Series Lens Positioners provide two, three, or five degrees of precision positioning for optical components. Precise, 100 TPI adjustment screws with new knobs including an integral hex hole allow smooth adjustment with increased sensitivity. Our new zero-freeplay XY mechanism ensures accurate positioning and enhanced long-term stability, without relying on grease to take up the clearance between sliding elements, thereby reducing drift over both time and temperature. Independent locks for each axis of translation and rotation securely lock the mechanism, not just the actuator screws, maintaining stable optical alignment. Engaging or disengaging each lock has negligible influence on the other axes.
Two-axis XY models have orthogonal transverse adjustments. Three-axis XYZ models add translation along the optical Z-axis. The Z motion is accomplished without rotation of the lens by a knurled ring with a precision 80 TPI thread. Five-axis XYZ θ_Xθ_Y models provide smooth XYZ translation plus true gimbaling about two orthogonal, coplanar axes. Five independent degrees of freedom allow you to accurately position an optic in any plane along any axis.
