Tilt Platform, Two Axis, Right-Handed, 561 Series

561-TILT and 562F-TILT Tilt Platforms provide two-axis (θ_Yθ_Z) angular alignment of mounted fibers and mounts securely on the 561 and 562 ULTRAlign linear stages. Fiber and device holders mount to the tip/tilt platforms with the same rail mechanism as the supporting linear stage. Both the 561-TILT and 562F-TILT stages are made of stainless steel for robust control, utilize precision 100 TPI adjustment screws, and are available in right or left-hand configurations. Model 561-TILT provides a load capacity up to 5 lbs. (22 N) with a step sensitivity of 5 arc sec, while model 562F-TILT has a sensitivity of 2 arc sec, but a lower load capacity of 1 lbs. (4.4 N).

An easy-to-use dovetail mounting rail on the top surface of ULTRAlign stages provides a single, common reference surface for precise and secure attachment of fiber systems and device holders for alignment from the wide selection of fiber alignment accessories. We offer a wide range of accessories specifically designed for use with the 561 and 562 Series Fiber Alignment Stages, including fiber holders and positioners, GRIN Lens and objective mounts, a variety of platforms, and a vacuum waveguide mount with eight vacuum ports. Shown is 561-GM 3-axis gimbal bare fiber chuck positioner which features 360° roll and ±5° pitch & yaw with sensitivity of 2° in θ_X and 12 arc sec in θ_Yθ_Z, respectively.
