- Single and Double Dovetail Versions with Reduced Footprint
- Custom Rail Lengths Offered
Thorlabs' XT34 Optical Rails provide the building blocks necessary for constructing stable, rigid, three-dimensional mechanical assemblies. They consist of extruded lengths of aluminum with a dovetail mounting surface that allows rails to be joined to each other, breadboards, or other optomechanical assemblies. Objects are easily slid along this dovetail before being clamped down. The standard four-sided rails measure 34 mm to a side and are available from stock in 200 mm, 500 mm, and 1000 mm lengths. Finished rails feature a durable, clear anodized finish. The 34 mm rail series includes rails that have the dovetail on one, two, or four sides, as shown in the family image photos at the top of the page. Upon request, we can provide the four-sided rails in custom lengths from 50 mm to 1200 mm, as well as in a raw extrusion length of 2 m (6.6'). The one- and two-sided rails minimize the setup's physical profile. Thorlabs offers a wide and growing complement of accessories for 34 mm rails, including clamps and angle brackets, breadboard mounts, rail carriers, mounting platforms, lens tube adapters, and rail joiners. Together with size adapters that incorporate 66 mm and 95 mm rails into an XT34 setup, these tools provide a complete family of rigid, versatile building blocks suited for virtually any optomechanical setup.
