Features
Two, Three or Five Axes of Positioning
- Two-axis XY models have orthogonal transverse adjustments.
- Three-axis XYZ models add translation along the optical Z-axis. Pure Z-axis motion without rotation of the lens is achieved through turning the knurled ring with precision 80 TPI threads.
- Five-axis XYZ θXθY 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.
Adapters for Cube Beam Splitters
The CH-0.5 and CH-1 can be used to adapt 0.5 in. and 1.0 in. cube beamsplitters to the LP-1B and LP-2B series lens mounts, respectively. The holder simply threads into the matching threaded hole in the lens mount, which can align the cube in x, y, z, and pitch and yaw coordinates. Roll can be set manually using the lock ring on the CH-1.
Adapters for Connecting 1.0 in. Lens Tubes
Two adapters are available to adapt LT10 Series Lens Tubes to LP-1B Series Lens Positioners. The

Use
Modular Slotted Base and Riser
When the space to mount a lens positioner within an optical system is limited, the slotted base of all LP Series Lens Positioners can be removed to reduce their footprint. For OEM systems with a lower optical axis height, the riser piece of the two-axis XY models and three-axis XYZ models can also be removed, with the smaller tapped holes on the back side of the lens positioner accessible for mounting. (Note that the riser piece of the five-axis models is not removable.)
