Pre-aligned optical axes
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 CSSP-40 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Size: 40mm. Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
Model selection
Compare CSSP-40 with the closest available models in the Guide Rods 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.
