Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Hold every optic in a path at one consistent deck height so components can be swapped without realignment.
The structural link between an optic and the breadboard, where stiffness decides how well alignment survives.
Slide-and-clamp holders let a layout be rebuilt without unbolting the whole assembly.
System integration
Use these checks to connect PEP12.7-76(B) to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Length L(mm): 76. 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

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.
