LP-1A In Stock

The LP-1A by Newport is a Five-Axis Precision Lens Positioner meticulously engineered to deliver precise positioning capabilities across five degrees of freedom for optical components measuring 1 inch in size. This cutting-edge positioner is equipped with 100 threads per inch (TPI) adjustment screws that offer exceptional precision, complete with user-friendly knobs and an integral hex hole to ensure sensitivity and seamless adjustments. The LP-1A has an XY zero-free play mechanism, which guarantees long-term stability and accurate positioning without the need for grease to fill the gaps between sliding elements. This design choice significantly reduces drift over varying temperatures and extended periods of use.

The LP-1A provides users with a smooth XYZ translation along with true gimbaling around two orthogonal and coplanar axes, allowing for independent degrees of freedom to achieve precise optic positioning in any desired plane along any axis. This positioner boasts a centrally located aperture that is threaded to accommodate optic retaining rings and a diverse range of optic holders suitable for objective lenses, simple lenses, or various other optical components. Installation versatility is facilitated by a slotted base plate that allows secure bolting to a table, adaptable to either side of the mount. For post mounting, the LP-1A offers metric and English threaded holes on its base, simplifying azimuthal orientation and optical axis height adjustments with ease. To maintain stable optical alignment, this positioner features independent locks for each translation axis, ensuring secure locking without unwanted influence on other axes when engaged or disengaged.
