The High-Load Pitch and Yaw Platforms provide ±2.5° of adjustment in pitch and ±4.0° in yaw. They are designed for use with up to 5.0 kg (11.0 lb) loads, such as lasers, cameras, and 3-axis stages (See Figure 1.2). The top platform is equipped with an array of 24 1/4"-20 (M6 x 1.0) threaded mounting holes with 1.00" (25.0 mm) spacing. The actual maximum load will depend on the positioning of the load on the platform. The maximum horizontal load capacity can also be limited by the actuator used with the stage (click here for details).

Actuator Options
The high-resolution micrometers incorporated into the PY004(/M) stage provide positioning accuracy within 9 arcseconds in pitch and 16.2 arcseconds in yaw. Each revolution of a micrometer gives an angular movement of 0.25° in pitch or 0.45° in yaw. Additionally, these platforms are compatible with other micrometers with a Ø3/8" (Ø9.5 mm) mounting barrel. The stage can also be motorized using our 1/2" travel actuators with Ø3/8" mounting barrels, such as Thorlabs Z912B DC Servo Actuators or ZST213B Stepper Motor Actuators (See Figure 1.4), one for each axis. Alternatively, we offer a motorized PY004Z9(/M) version of the stage with two Z912B DC Servo Actuators included. If desired, the Z912B actuators can be replaced by any manual or motorized actuators with a Ø3/8" (Ø9.5 mm) barrel, including stepper motor actuators and manual micrometers.
The vacuum-compatible PY004VX(/M) platform can be adjusted using our 1/2" travel actuators with Ø3/8" mounting barrels, such as the Thorlabs PIA13VF Vacuum-Compatible Piezo Inertia Actuator or Z912BV Vacuum-Compatible DC Servo Motor Actuator (sold below). Alternatively, a manual vacuum-compatible actuator can be built, using an F25USA1 Barrel Adapter, LN25100 Lock Nut, a POLARIS-N5 Knob, and an F25US200V Vacuum Adjuster (sold below).

Mounting Options
These stages can be mounted directly to a metric or imperial optical table or breadboard using five 1/4" (M6) through mounting holes or the 1/4" (M6) mounting slot. The stages also have three counterbored 1/4" (M6) holes that are revealed by rotating the top plate of the platform. These holes allow the unit to be mounted with the top platform holes in line with the work surface hole pattern or midway off the table's hole pattern. Alternatively, the PY004(/M) platform can be mounted using CL6 clamps secured to the relief cut along the bottom of the stage, and CL6V vacuum-compatible clamps can be used to mount the PY004VX(/M) platform.
Vacuum Compatibility
The PY004VX(/M) platform is a vacuum-compatible version of the PY004(/M) pitch and yaw platform with identical mounting features, accomplished by using vacuum-compatible internal components. Each PY004VX(/M) platform is assembled in a clean environment and double vacuum bagged. Prior to use in a vacuum system, the stages can be baked to remove excess moisture and surface contaminants; however, please note that the maximum baking temperature is 130 °C (with manual vacuum adjusters or PIA13VF actuator) or 85 °C (if using the Z912BV actuator). The platform can be mounted to a breadboard using Thorlabs' CL6V vacuum-compatible clamps and vacuum-compatible fasteners. Thorlabs offers vacuum-compatible breadboards, screws, and other optomechanics that can be can be used with the stage.
Controller Options
When using platforms with servo motors (e.g., PY004Z9(/M)), Thorlabs recommends using two KDC101 DC Servo Controllers (available below), one for each axis. The latest version of the Kinesis software can be downloaded here. Firmware version 2.2.8 or higher and Kinesis software version 1.14.44 or higher are required for using the KDC101 with the PY004Z9(/M) platforms. Please see the Kinesis Software and Kinesis Tutorial tabs for details. For more information on recommended controllers for particular actuators, see Table G4.1.
Note: PY004VX(/M) units are shipped without actuators and locked in position with transit screws. Two actuators are required. These screws should not be removed until the actuators are correctly fitted to the unit.

 (posted 2020-09-24 09:58:53.213) Does the PY004/M have a vacuum compatible equivalent? cwright
 (posted 2020-09-28 08:28:35.0) Response from Charles at Thorlabs: Hello and thank you for contacting us. Some of our stages can be made vacuum compatible on request and the PY004/M is one of them. We will reach out to you directly regarding the current lead time and pricing. thigulla saikiran
 (posted 2020-07-25 01:43:17.787) i want to place that mount in vertical position and the payload on the mount will be around 5Kgs . it can carry the mount load of 5kgs in vertical direction
Regards,
Saikiran DJayasuriya
 (posted 2020-08-13 04:34:24.0) Thank you for your inquiry. When mounted vertically the load capacity depends on the load distance from the platform and the load it self. Mounted vertically the maximum load the stage could handle is about 1.8kg approximately and the off axis distance from the platform being 30 mm. David G
 (posted 2020-05-21 06:39:57.247) I'm having the same issue as Lawrence (last post below) in understanding how the linear micrometer movement translates to rotation. I also calc that the minimum incremental values (per half division) are twice those stated. Example below is for pitch, but yaw calculation is also wrong.
1 Rev micrometer = 0.5deg = 1800 sec
1 inc micrometer = 1800 sec/50 = 36 sec
1 half inc micrometer = 18 sec (vs 9 sec quoted on website)
Can you clarify? Thanks. DJayasuriya
 (posted 2020-06-03 03:52:21.0) Thank you for your inquiry. Due to the mechanism of the stage it wouldn't be a completely linear relationship but between micrometer movement and the rotation.There is a small acute distortion. This also depends how you measure - if the beam is going through the rotation center it will be perfect. In any other cases you will find another numbers as to the rotation of the beam you need to add the movement of the source. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to get in touch with your local technical support team lawrence.berg
 (posted 2015-09-15 11:01:19.777) Yet another: Taking pitch on the PY004, minimum incremnental movement is given as 9 arc seconds based on half a division. But at 0.5 degree/rev = 1800 arcsec/rev = 36 arcsec/div. Min inc mov is thus 1/4 division. Am I wrong in assuming 50 divisions/revolution? (Note manual Fig 2.2 implies 100 divisions/revolution also). bwood
 (posted 2015-09-17 10:50:44.0) Response from Ben at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback messages. The micrometer drives can be removed by loosening a single M3 screw for each actuator, and installing an appropriate Ø3/8" mounting barrel. There is no need to return the stage to be retrofitted. The micrometer itself has a 10µm per division travel, and has a 13mm range. Finally, your calculation does appear to be valid, and I will contact our engineers to clarify this further. I will contact you directly with the results of these discussions. lawrence.berg
 (posted 2015-09-15 10:23:24.673) Another question: How much actual travel/revolution is occurring with each micrometer in the PY004 (information needed when looking at motorized options). Thanks lawrence.berg
 (posted 2015-09-15 10:01:08.143) Can the PY004 be retrofitted with the motorized micrometer options discussed by the end user? Or must the unit be sent back for retrofit? cflamme
 (posted 2014-04-02 09:36:30.877) Does the PY004
have a locking feature?
or do you have a comperable fitures that does cdaly
 (posted 2014-04-09 05:16:51.0) Response from Chris at Thorlabs: The PY004 does not have a locking mechanism. While we do have other pitch yaw stages, I'm afraid none of these have this feature either. |
