Platform Optical Mount, Performa, 1.0 in., 2 Allen-Key Adjustment, M4
The M-P100-P-H Miniature Metric Platform Optical Mount is ideal for general laboratory or industrial applications requiring a compact, robust, kinematic design. Platform mounts have the size advantage, over aperture mounts, of being able to hold mirrors which are as large as or larger than the actual mount itself. This 1 inch (25.4 mm) version holds mounted mirrors, prisms, or cube beamsplitters. Two precision 100-TPI hex adjustment screws provide ±6° adjustment range. An optional hex-key can be used to discourage unwanted tampering. when used with the optional Mirror Holders UPA.5, UPA.75, UPA, provides a stable mounting platform for 0.5 to 1 inch (12.7 to 25.4 mm) diameter mirrors. The P100-P can be post mounted as a horizontal tip/tilt platform using the M4 threaded hole in the back plate.Horizontal or Vertical Mounting
Both MM-HEX and P100-P series can be post mounted as a horizontal tip/tilt platform using the threaded hole in the center or a vertical mount using the threaded hole on the side.
U50-P ULTIMA platform mounts can also be mounted horizontally with adapter UPA-PA.5, which is already included in U50-P and U50-P1 models.
Allen-Key Adjustment
Allen-key adjustments screws are used in the miniature platform mounts to save space and prevent unintended adjustment. For long-term stability, U50-PL and U50-PL1 feature a flexure lock built into the mount body, which exerts a tangential force on the screw to prevent rotation.
Dedicated Mirror Adapters
Newport's Platform Mounts are complimented by a set of mirror cup adapters. The Mirror Cup Adapters are compatible with ULTIMA series and P100-P miniature platform mounts. They attach to the face of the platform mount through the 1/4-in. hole in the center of the platform and are locked in place by a set screw from the side. The Horizontal Adaptors attach to the mounting holes on an optical mount, providing a mechanism to convert the ULTIMA Platform Mounts to a post-mounted horizontal platform for mounting prisms, cube beamsplitters, or other components.
