Hi, I'm wondering what kind of anodization was used for the surface finish of the cage plates? Is it high-vacuum (1e-6 torr level) compatible? If not, could you custom-fabricate the cage plates with stainless steel? Thanks! Best, Bolin

YLohia (posted 2019-07-30 11:52:55.0)

Hello Bolin, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The cage plates are 6061-T6 aluminum anodized and are not rated for high-vacuum use. For custom item quotes, please email techsupport@thorlabs.com.

Hello, I imported the step file for this item into Autocad and am trying now to export it as a different file type. Autocad says that this model is not "water tight." The CP02T worked fine. Do you have a model that is water tight? Best, Jon

I would like to submit a customer-inspired design for a modified CP4S, how do I proceed? Thank you!

llamb (posted 2019-04-03 09:42:46.0)

Thank you for your interest! For any product suggestions or improvements, you can email techsupport@thorlabs.com. We are always happy to receive product feedback and new product ideas. I have reached out to you by email in this case to discuss your design further.

pszwaykowski (posted 2017-08-17 14:26:40.89)

What are the chances to get a CP01 with clamping features like CP08? I need to modify CP01 plate to accommodate our own creations but can not use the set screws to lock the plate in place. Tightening these screws causes small translation of the plate that can not be easily controlled.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I will reach out to you directly about details to quote this custom plate.

ludoangot (posted 2017-04-10 10:40:26.51)

I have a suggestion for new cage plate: one plate able to receive rods from either (or both) of your 30mm and 60mm cage system (e.g. as the CP06 for 30mm, LCP01 for 60mm, LCP02 for both) and offering threaded mounting holes (as several of your surface mounting plate, ex. as the detachable mounting plate of your C1001). This would allow to mount, for example, an industrial or scientific camera at the end or in the middle of a cage. The plate would look like your LCP03 (case of your 60mm cage) but thinner and with many threaded (and unthreaded) holes.

tfrisch (posted 2017-04-27 02:19:41.0)

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I will reach out to you directly about your application. It would be helpful if you could send a sketch that we could use in our discussion.

ludoangot (posted 2016-09-30 15:05:23.23)

I have several of your cage plates, but today I am looking for one with a 30mm inner bore, and you don't seem to offer any. Could you consider making such dimension, or, as an alternative, offer a mounting adapter (sleeve) so a 30mm diameter element (many 3rd party lenses are 30mm in diameter) could fit in one of your cage plate (e.g. the one with 1.2" bore)?

jlow (posted 2016-10-03 01:39:35.0)

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Yes we can make this. I will contact you directly about quoting this.

What is the material and finish of CP01/M Cage Plate? We intend to machine and re-finish the part. Thanks Eddy Porter

jlow (posted 2015-04-22 04:08:23.0)

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The cage plate is made from 6061 aluminum that is anodized with a Type 2 anodization.

FYI: the #8-32 threaded hole on the CP06 is shown in the AutoCAD PDF file, but not in the SolidWorks model.

tcohen (posted 2013-05-15 12:45:00.0)

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for pointing this out! We will fix this shortly.

david.baddeley (posted 2013-05-14 13:17:16.063)

Would you consider offering cage plates with 4-40 threaded holes (to accommodate screws on the ends of cage rods) the drilled and tapped on the sides to allow a second cage system to be attached at right angles. I've previously had this done on existing plates in a local machine shop, and have found it to be a very efficient way of making 3D cage structures. I now have less access to machining facilities, and though it might be worth suggesting as a product variation. Ideally this would also involve a slight increase (~ 1-2 mm in the width of the plate) as the length of the rod threads is such that they will often engage the rod running through the plate before the end of the rod at right angles is flush with the cage plate surface. Cage cubes and right angle rods (ER90C) don't work for my application as the position of the right angle needs to be adjustable. Cross couplers (C1A) won't work as they are too large (I'm putting a KC45D gimbal mirror at the intersection of the two cage systems to deflect the beam from one to the other and it won't fit with the C1As there). many thanks, David

cdaly (posted 2013-05-16 15:37:00.0)

Response from Chris at Thorlabs: Thank you for your suggestion. I will suggest this within our internal discussions. As a quick solution though, would it be possible for you to use C1A, C2A, or ER90C to achieve this as well?

cdaly (posted 2013-03-06 17:59:00.0)

Response from Chris at Thorlabs: We haven't specifically tested the gasket in vacuum, but I was able to find another resource that tested the material. The CPG3 is made of Buna-N, which at an exposure to 10^-6 Torr for 336 hours, experienced a weight loss ratio was 1.06, which is a pretty large value as far as outgassing is concerned. At the moment, we do not make a delrin version. These are intended for light tight purposes in a non-vacuum environment. For general purposes the compressiblity of the material is ideal as it allows it to conform to the objects it is between.

jlow (posted 2012-08-09 09:33:00.0)

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. The CPG3 is designed with a large aperture in mind. It is unfortunate that it does not work with the CP08 because of the slits of the side. I have submitted this feedback to our engineering group and we will look into improving this.

matthias.sauer (posted 2012-08-07 13:48:39.0)

The gasket is not covering the slits of a CP08 cage plate. To fulfill its intended use, it would be helpful if it optically sealed one side of the cage plate from the other.

tcohen (posted 2012-05-01 12:23:00.0)

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Both the cage system and traditional posts have their uses. The cage system provides an easy way to quickly align along a common optical axis. Posts and post holders allow the flexibility to quickly drop in and adjust the height of a component. Different setups may benefit from one over the other but they are also subject to personal preference. If there is ever a question of which would be preferred, please contact us at techsupport@thorlabs.com where an Applications Engineer will be able to discuss your application and the suitability of the products to fit into your ideal setup.

Carlos.Gulien (posted 2012-04-26 22:33:16.0)

Yes, can you provide your professional opinion on using a cage system vs. using standard posts, post holders, pedestals and so on...can you comment on when I should use each system and what are the pros and cons of each, like ease of use vs. stability vs cost vs anything else you have experienced as a scientist. What system are most people using these days? I tend to trust the "herd" if you know what I mean.

A response from Adam at Thorlabs to Dan: Thank you for your feedback. This does count as customer inspired and I have informed our mechanics division of your feedback. I agree that this would make a good addition to the product line. If it is added, we would offer you a prototype to test out the new design. In the meantime, we can offer this item as a custom.

flickingerd (posted 2010-02-04 18:19:11.0)

I wish you had a product like CP06, but for a 2in optic in the 60mm cage system. I can use the FMP2 for my design, but it seems like it will be relatively very wobbly since it doesnt look beefy enough. Does this count as "customer inspiration"?

Laurie (posted 2008-08-07 09:25:07.0)

Response from Laurie at Thorlabs to xavier.schwab: The new metric indicator (i.e., the dot) is a very recent addition to our metric mounts. Unfortunately, this new information must have been added to our website prior to stock depletion of the ones without a metric indicator. There is no difference in the physical functionality of the product. We are merely trying to make it easier/quicker for our customers to look at our parts and know whether they are imperial or metric. That being said, if you would like to return your CP02/M and receive one with a metric indicator, please feel free to speak to our RMA department. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience we may have caused.

xavier.schwab (posted 2008-08-07 07:17:31.0)

Dear Mr., dear Madam, I will purchase new cage system products. I have a question about the dot near a thread which may signified "Metric". In our actual CP02, we have no dot near the thread but it is a Metric thread. As we would like to keep the same standard, could tell me if its normal? Best regards, X. Schwab
