8MLAOM Motorized Gimbal Optical Mount has been designed for positioning of large optical elements up to 600 mm. Commonly LAOM optical mounts is extremely efficient solution in such applications as: high power laser systems and astronomy.

LAOM series optical mounts have complete 360 degree rotation in azimuth and elevation axes if transmission of both coordinates is decoupled. Special spring preloaded internal mechanisms result near zero backlash motion, what allows user to avoid additional feedback system in order to reduce the uncertainty of the system. Fine adjustment in ±4° range provides high quality motion with resolution down to 3 arcsec (or better by request).

Age hardened aluminum alloy guarantees: softness of the assembly, high thermal stability and high vibration stability.

Control of LAOM series motorized optical mounts is available with Standa controller 8SMC5-USB-B9-2.
