Features
Optional Laser Marked Guide Rods
In addition to the regular 6 mm guide rods of various lengths, OpticsCage+ also provides guide rods with 1 mm laser marking such as OC1-GR-4S, making alignment even easier.
Snap-in Design for Easy Assembly and Alignment
Most optic cage systems only use a closed-hole captive design for adapting optic carriers to the 4-rod cage structure. This restriction requires a nearly complete teardown of a cage system to simply add or remove a component. The open-slot design of OpticsCage+ allows optical elements to be inserted directly into an assembled cage without the need for disassembly.
Versatile OpticsCage+ Adapters
OC1-PM post mount adapter allows one to easily mount OpticsCage+ system on posts and pedestals. OC1-XCL allows stable and easy cross clamping. OC1-RH is an adapter that allows one to mount Newport's self aligning A-Line lens alignment system inside of OpticsCage+ system. OC1-AT is an alignment target that makes alignment even easier.
