Applications

Setting beam height

Hold every optic in a path at one consistent deck height so components can be swapped without realignment.

Mounting optics to the table

The structural link between an optic and the breadboard, where stiffness decides how well alignment survives.

Rapid reconfiguration

Slide-and-clamp holders let a layout be rebuilt without unbolting the whole assembly.

Before you specify

Guides that cover this decision

Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.

Building a stable opto-mechanical rig

Vibration, 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.
