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

Right-Angle Adapter Plates
Zolix’s right-angle adapter plates are designed to couple two 30 mm cage system at 90°, the front side of each adapter has flexuous clamps that can be slid onto two parallel cage rods.

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 CSABV-2 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Material: 6061 Aluminum Alloy. Aluminium moves about 23 ppm per kelvin and stainless about 16. In a path where thermal drift is already budgeted, the material of the mount belongs in that budget rather than in the appearance of the part.
Model selection
Compare CSABV-2 with the closest available models in the Right-Angle Adapter Plates 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.
