Flexure Mounts, Beam Splitter, Top Adjustable

   The IXFtbs series are a new version of our popular IXFi monolithic flexure mounts.  This new variation incorporates the same features as our IXFi but has the tip/tilt adjustments moved to create top-adjusted flexure.  This new feature is ideal for applications where accessibility to the mount is limited and our standard model can’t be accessed.  Built into the top-adjustment mechanism is a simple split-clamp lock for the 100TPI adjustment screws.  These locks work best when they are pre-loaded prior to adjustment, adjustment made, then locked in place.  We have also added clear aperture cut-outs to maximize beam clearance for beam splitter applications.  These cut-outs are set at 45°, but are large enough to accommodate variations out to ± 5°.  These mounts use our 100TPI rolled thread adjustment screws for low stiction fine adjustments and are swaged at the end to prevent over-travel of the mount.   The IXFtbs series mounts are manufactured from one solid piece of spring steel, then nickel plated so they will not corrode and can be used in ultraviolet laser environments.

   These models are also available in aluminum versions as a lower cost option.  Aluminum models exhibit the same performance specifications as the steel models.  Custom OEM configurations are available in the aluminum version only.
