12 Apr 2016 Optical Surfaces Ltd designs and manufactures a wide range of mounts for use with mirrors to optimize their optical performance. Ultra-high precision mirrors are useless unless they are positioned with absolute precision and are maintained stress-free.
The OS-Z range of mirror mounts from Optical Surfaces Ltd. provide ultra stable, stress-free mounting and rapid alignment of off-axis parabolic, spherical and flat mirrors as well as wedge back and parallel back mirrors.
Constructed in black anodised aluminium, six models of OS-Z mount provide a secure, stable and compact platform for mirror diameters ranging from 90 to 250mm. Angular alignment can be made about two axes by means of dual action adjusters with fine screw and ultra-fine differential micrometre action. Using these mounts it is possible to align a mirror within a few arc seconds. Each mirror mount comes with a base plate. As an option to the standard two-axis gimbal micrometre-driven action, OS-Z mounts can be fitted with x-y-z linear stages if required. This option allows you to control positioning of mirrors in up to five-degrees of freedom.

Optical Surfaces Ltd (www.optisurf.com) has been producing optical components and systems for more than 50 years and is now accepted as one of the world's leading manufacturers of ultra stable mirror mounts. The company's ISO 9001-2008 approved manufacturing workshops and test facilities are situated deep underground in a series of tunnels excavated in solid chalk where temperature remains constant and vibration is practically non-existent. With such stable conditions testing, particularly with long path lengths, becomes quantifiable and reliable. Working with these natural advantages is a highly skilled team of craftsmen with a commitment to excellence in both product quality and customer service. |
