Ultraprecision Kinematic Mounts

Ultraprecision Kinematic Mounts are designed to provide precise and accurate adjustment of high-end optical components, offering long-term pointing stability and minimizing wavefront distortion. The optic is located in the mounting seat via three contact points, but is secured in place by a retaining spring that gently contacts the leading edge of the optic at three discrete locations to ensure low wavefront distortion, preserving optical flatness and accuracy. These kinematic mounts feature two hex-driven high accuracy adjustment screws (100TPI), that can be easily locked, ensuring long term stability under shock, vibration, and gradient temperature conditions. Ultraprecision Kinematic Mounts are compact in footprint and are available in both standard rear- and top-adjustment configurations, with the top adjust versions being extra space efficient for compact system integration. These mounts are highly configurable, featuring multiple counterbore holes, threaded holes, and dowel pin holes for locating and securing the mounts in any benchtop or OEM application.
