Optomechanical components
For precision alignment and shorter system lengths
Optomechanical components for unsurpassed Plug and Play precision
Discover how asphericon’s advanced optomechanics empower you to align optical elements within your beam path with precision – reducing tilt and making your set-up more compact while saving on adapters. Explore the unmatched possibilities of the a|Adapter Tilt and the a|VariMount from the BeamTuning range for your optical application, tailored by asphericon.
a|VariMount
Different optical set-ups – like those for laser beam shaping – often necessitate at least one additional adapter per element and function in the beam path. This requirement not only extends the setup length but also heightens the risk of tilt and decentration. asphericon’s a|VariMount, a groundbreaking optomechanical component, addresses these challenges head-on.
The a|VariMount allows for the flawless integration and precision alignment of optical components when affixed directly to the mounting plate using its retainer. Offering a choice of three internal diameters (30 mm, 50 mm and 56.8 mm), it seamlessly integrates into 30 mm and 60 mm cage systems (from manufacturers like Thorlabs, Owis and Qioptiq) and can be mounted on a plethora of rail systems without the need for extra adapters.
The a|VariMount’s ingenious optomechanical design allows it to clamp optical components across a broad surface rather than at isolated points, thereby reducing stress peaks and deformations caused by point loads. This feature makes it possible to integrate even sensitive mounts, such as those crafted from aluminum alloys, with ease. Its versatility is further heightened with the incorporation of M6 and M4 threaded holes compatible with all post systems, allowing different optical systems and manufacturers to be mixed and matched.
