Optical and Precision Mechanics Systems on
Add-a-Unit Principles

 
 
Enlarge illustration
Experience gained over a period exceeding fifty years in engineering components for the optical and precision mechanics sector formed the basis for this add-a-unit system which can be made to respond to a whole variety of different demands made on technical microscopes by combining series-manufactured units. Available in this range are individual units as well as complete systems designed in accordance with customers' specifications.

System Design

The overall design concept is based on unit system principles which provide extensive facilities for combination. Thus, all body-tube units feature a square cross-section while all guides are designed with the width of the relevant assembly. All units are provided with threaded holes laid out within the raster in a way as to facilitate combinations both on perforated plate and profile section rails as well as in three-dimensional attachments by linking up the various units. Flange bushings ensure precise fitting light-tight connections. The systems are very sturdily designed and suitable for industrial application. The various units are screw-connected and can be combined over and over again for different uses.

Adjustment Facilities

Facilities are provided on the various models for making linear and rotary adjustments by means of manually adjustable and motor-driven axes. In combination with the stands, linear tables, cross-tables and control systems selected from our production range, this system facilitates the assembly of complete measuring sets.

Body-Tube Units

Flexibility of scope is provided for as applied to body-tube lengths, beam splitting and deflection. Use of appropriate optical equipment makes it possible to create finite and infinite body-tube lengths. A comprehensive assortment of optical components is available (lenses, eyepieces, prisms, beam splitters, filters, etc.).

Lighting Systems

Lighting systems are available for transmitted light, coaxial incident light and angular incident light. Sources of illumination used comprise halogen lamps, fibre-glass systems or LEDs.

Video Systems

C-mount adapters, CCD cameras, monitors as well as complete image processing systems are available.
