Lens Holder and Manifold Block

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the design and functionality of an adjustable lens holder and manifold block system, primarily used in laser applications. It highlights the system's adaptability, precision, and ease of use.

Specifications: The lens holder accommodates lenses with diameters ranging from 3/8 to 4.0 inches. It features adjustable centering screws and a spring-loaded assembly for secure lens positioning. The manifold block allows stacking of up to five blocks, maintaining optical axis accuracy within ±0.001 inches.

Procedures: The lens holder can be easily removed and replaced without realignment, thanks to a cartridge-style insertion method. The system uses thumb screws and leaf springs for secure positioning, and a special spanner wrench is available for tightening the retainer nut.

Standards and Compatibility: The system is compatible with standard lens diameters and can be adapted to existing optical systems, including those from major CO2 laser manufacturers. It supports various lens types, such as plano convex, plano concave, and meniscus lenses.

High Pressure Capability: The system includes a reusable Indium plated spring seal ring and a low-friction teflon face seal, allowing pressurization up to 300 psig, depending on lens specifications.

Recommendations: The document suggests using the system with Laser Mech components like gas jets and beam benders for optimal performance. It also recommends using standard tools for maintenance and replacement tasks.

Key Features: The system offers ultra-fine lens centering adjustment, multi-lens capacity, and high-pressure capability seals. It is designed for quick lens replacement and minimal downtime.
