Description

This beam-steering assembly is useful for setting both height and direction of a laser beam. It consists of a 16mm diameter rod carrying two mirror holders which can be clamped independently at the required heights. Mirrors are set at approximately 45° and are fully rotatable about a vertical axis. They have fine vertical and horizontal screw adjustments for aiming the beam. Thus an incoming horizontal beam can be redirected in any azimuth at a height up to 220mm above or below the input level, and angled at 15° or more above or below the horizontal.

The unit comes without mirrors, allowing users to select the most suitable mirrors from the wide range available in our mirrors section. 25mm or 1’’diameter mirrors (up to 6.5mm thick) are recommended and can be mounted with the retaining rings supplied; smaller mirrors can be cemented in place. For convenience the mirrors most commonly used are listed below; for full details of coatings see the mirrors section.
