| Use the Flipping Mount 5F21-1 to place
optics in and out of the optical scheme. Flip the platform
out and back again, and it sits on the driving screws in a repeated position.
Precise alignment of various optical elements to desired angles
is done by 2 driving screws.
3 seats form 3 kinematic points for definite position of the platform.
These seats are of hardened steel – increasing the service life, as they
are countering the hardened steel tips of driving screws and the flipping
pivot balls.
To flip, pull the platform by the horn (with the fixing screw in it). Platform
pivots on two balls located on the opposite side. Flipped in or out it
stays preloaded by springs.
Mount 5F21-1 has a 1" mounting hole with Æ24mm
clear aperture. Inserted into the hole, the optics is stopped by a resting
flange. A fixing screw secures the optics against hard rests, which
make 2 contact points. To prevent damage to the optics, the tip
of the fixing screw is made of plastic.
On one side the edge of the optics stays clear. So you can
use the optics close to the edge in schemes where you work with a beam
very closely situated to another beam.
The base of the mount has two holes Æ8.7mm
for driving screws. As standard – Fine Screws 9S127 or 9SH127
(tip of one screw is modified to form a kinematic point).
Using an M6 screw you can mount 5F21-1 on one side or on
another (see pictures below). For this, each side (leg) of the base of
the unit has a combined Æ7-to-M6
hole (marked as M6/Æ7 in the drawing).
The unit also mounts directly on any STANDA Post Holder or Mounting
Post on their M6 tips. Alternatively you put an M4 screw
through the combined M6/Æ7 hole
to fasten on units with M4 holes.
Depending on which side you mount the unit, you flip the platform either
vertically or horizontally. By flipping out vertically the optics goes
beneath
the common level of the optical scheme. Still one leg of the base,
with
a driving screw on it, stays up. Yet this wouldn't obstruct
the optical path, as it wouldn't when the optics was flipped in. Legs extended
up (close to the top/side) ease your access to the driving screws,
with less risk of obscuring the beam. No need to design the legs extended
down, so as to clear the space totally, like in some flippers from other
manufacturers.
Flipping Mount is made of aluminium and can be anodized in a color
to your request. Without special note from you we would supply mounts in
black colour.
