XR & XRN Dovetail Stages and Accessories

Our XR series manual stages feature quick-connect dovetails that allow for the construction of multi-axis systems without the need for additional hardware. The common dovetail feature with a single locking clamp makes it quick and simple to swap parts in and out while preserving excellent orthogonality.

Our selection of products with a quick-connect dovetail includes:

• Linear Translation Stages:
  • Stackable 1-Axis Stages
  • Pre-Assembled 2- and 3-Axis Configurations
  • 25 mm Motorized Actuator Options: Piezo Inertia, Stepper, or DC Servo
• Rotational Stages:
  • 360° Flat Rotation
  • Tip/Tilt Goniometers
• Adapters:
  • Z-Axis Assembly Kits
  • Parallel and Perpendicular Mounting between 2" and 3" Dovetails
• Rail Accessories:
  • Stationary Mounting Platforms
  • Rail Component Positioners
• Base Plates and Rails

Most items are available in compact (2" dovetail) and full-size (3" dovetail) varieties. Adapters are available to interface between the two sizes. See tables 107F and 107G for all available options.

Linear Translation Stages

Thorlabs' Quick-Connect Linear Translation Stages feature 2 inch or 3 inch dovetails for which the female dovetail on the bottom of one stage mates to the male dovetail on another as shown in Figure 107A. Many of these stages have micrometers that can be switched between end-mounted and side-mounted configurations (see Figures 107C and 107D). We also offer vertical translation stages that feature graduated scales to indicate the amount of translation. In Figure 107E, the base plate of a vertical stage is removed to expose the mounting boss which enables additional mounting configurations. The stages featuring 25 mm of travel can also be paired with motors. For specific information on our Quick-Connect Linear Translation stages please see Table 107F.

Figure 107C  Stages are available with either a side- or end-mounted micrometer. The stage can be converted from one configuration to the other using our Micrometer Conversion Kits and a standard set of hex keys or balldrivers.

Figure 107D  Stages with micrometers can have them mounted on either side. The side-mounted micrometer can be swapped with the locking plate to create a left- or right-handed stage.

Rotation and Goniometric Stages

Thorlabs' Quick-Connect Rotation Stages provide 360° of continuous manual rotation and are offered with 2" or 3" dovetails. Our Goniometric stages provide ±8° of precise rotation about a fixed point in space and come with 2" dovetails. More information on Thorlabs' Quick-Connect Rotation stages and the XRNG Series Goniometers can be found in Table 107G.
