The AMA554 Height Adapter increases the 62.5 mm deck height of our NanoMax™ stages, 3-axis and 4-axis MicroBlock™ stages, and RollerBlock™ stages to 112.5 mm (4.43"), matching the deck height of our 6-axis NanoMax stages or 5-axis platform kits. This also increases the optical axis height to 125 mm (4.92") when used with our selection of flexure stage accessories. ![]() ![]() Click for Details APY002 Pitch and Yaw Platform Being Attached to a MicroBlock Stage that is Being Attached the AMA557 Adapter
The AMA557 Height Adapter increases the deck height of our 3-axis stages to 112.5 mm (4.43") when a pitch and yaw platform accessory is used in place of the included top plate, matching the deck height of our 6-axis NanoMax stages or 5-axis platform kits. This also increases the optical axis height to 125 mm (4.92") when used with our selection of flexure stage accessories. The 4 mm (0.16") thick top plate of the 3-axis stage must be removed before attaching the pitch and yaw platform accessory to achieve the deck height of 112.5 mm (4.43"), as shown in the image to the right. ![]() Click to Enlarge AMA557 Mechanical Drawing ![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge AMA181 Adapter Raising the Deck Height of a MicroBlock 3-Axis Stage to Match a Previous-Generation Flexure Stage
The AMA181 Height Adapter attaches to the base of our 3-Axis NanoMax™ and MicroBlock™ stages using three 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws. The riser block increases the height of any current-generation flexure stage to match the deck height of Thorlabs' older generation stages sold before 2004. Our new generation of 3-axis flexure stages are designed around a 3 mm wide keyway, 62.5 mm deck height, and a 76 mm optical axis height. Our older generation design, shown to the right, used a 4 mm wide keyway, 76 mm deck height, and a 93 mm optical axis height. ![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge AMA562 Mounting Adapter Attaching a 3-Axis NanoMax Stage to an LNR50DD TravelMax Stage
The AMA562 Mounting Adapter enables a Thorlabs 3-axis NanoMax™ stage to be mounted to our manual or motorized 2" (50 mm) TravelMax™ Cross Roller Bearing Stage or to our NRT100(/M) or NRT150(/M) Stepper Motor Linear Translation Stage. Four counterbored holes for 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws, arranged in a 50 mm (1.97") square, are used for attaching the mounting adapter to the TravelMax stage. Five 1/4"-20 taps are included around the edge of the mounting plate for attaching the NanoMax stage to the adapter. ![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge DDS220P1 Mounting Adapter Attaching a 3-Axis NanoMax Stage to a DDS220 Translation Stage
This mounting adapter enables a Thorlabs 3-axis NanoMax™ or MicroBlock™ stage to be mounted on a DDS220, DDS300-E, or DDS600-E Motorized Linear Translation Stage. The 3-axis stage can be quickly positioned by the DDS motorized stage, before the high-resolution drives of the 3-axis stage are used for fine manipulation of the mounted device. Five 1/4"-20 (M6) countersunk socket screws are included for attaching the mounting adapter to the translation stage. Twelve 1/4"-20 (M6) taps are included in the adapter for attachment of a three-axis NanoMax or MicroBlock stage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
