Manual Linear Stage Vituord 60x60mm Goniometer with ±20° Tilt Scale

Description

Product Overview

The Vituord Manual Linear Stage is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern optical and precision instrumentation. Measuring 60 × 60 mm, the compact platform is constructed from high‑grade aluminum alloy that has been anodized with a black finish to suppress stray light reflections, a critical factor in microscopy and laser alignment tasks. The core of the stage is a central worm gear drive coupled with a precision‑machined dovetail guide rail, delivering exceptionally smooth motion with minimal backlash. This design enables a tilt range of ±20°, allowing users to fine‑tune the angle of attached optics with a resolution of 1°, while the integrated scale ruler provides immediate visual feedback for rapid positioning.

Beyond its mechanical excellence, the stage incorporates R‑corner protection, a thoughtful design element that removes all edge burrs and prevents accidental snagging during operation. This protective feature not only extends the lifespan of the device but also enhances user safety, especially in environments where delicate components are frequently handled. The platform’s low‑deflection construction ensures that even under load, the tilt angle remains stable, preserving alignment accuracy over extended periods of use.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Manual Linear Stage finds application across a broad spectrum of scientific and industrial settings. In optical laboratories, it serves as a reliable goniometer for aligning lenses, prisms, and mirrors, enabling researchers to achieve precise angular positioning without the need for additional calibration tools. Microscopy setups benefit from the stage’s compact footprint and low‑profile design, allowing seamless integration beneath objective lenses and sample holders while maintaining a stable platform for high‑resolution imaging.

In semiconductor manufacturing, the stage is employed within wafer inspection stations where minute angular adjustments are required to examine surface features under varying illumination angles. Testing rigs for photonic devices also leverage the stage’s ability to quickly switch between tilt positions, accelerating the evaluation of device performance across a range of incident angles. The built‑in scale ruler simplifies the documentation of tilt settings, facilitating repeatable experiments and quality control procedures.

Field engineers appreciate the stage’s robust construction and ease of use. The extended handwheel provides ergonomic control, allowing fine adjustments with minimal effort, even when wearing gloves. Its modular dovetail interface permits the attachment of additional accessories, such as custom mounts or sensor arrays, expanding its functionality to suit specialized applications.
