Pre-aligned optical axes
Four rods define the axis, so every element threaded onto them starts square and centred.

30mm Cage Cube
Zolix cage cubes are compatible with 30 mm cage system, each side contains a SM1-threaded through hole.
Datasheet (PDF) ↗CAD Model (RAR) ↗Catalog context
CSC1-M3 is listed as 30mm Cage Cube in the 30mm Cage Cube family. The local catalog record provides these first selection fields: Side PlateThread Type: SM1 and M3.

Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Four rods define the axis, so every element threaded onto them starts square and centred.
Build a relay, filter block or launch module that can be moved between setups intact.
Package an optical train into a rigid unit for OEM and portable instruments.
System integration
Use these checks to connect CSC1-M3 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Side PlateThread Type: SM1 and M3. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
Model selection
Compare CSC1-M3 with the closest available models in the 30mm Cage Cube family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.

Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
Opto-mechanicsVibration, thermal drift and mechanical integration are one problem. Budget the motion at the sample, then specify the table, the isolation, the mounts and the beam height that budget asks for.
