M-Switch The perfect blend of innovative design and state of the art technology
M-Switch
The M-Switch series of adjustable, modular mounts are designed to redirect a horizontal interferometric set-up to a vertical one. This vertical orientation can help reduce distortion effects commonly found from clamping, and reduce alignment time. There are 4 primary versions of hardware designed to enable testing of mirrors, windows, lenses and lens assemblies. Holding of the part under test can be done with a variable 3 arm mount (for flexibility) or our kinematic mount (for high volume). Reference mirrors can be supplied with a variety of flatness and coating specifications to match your application needs.
Specifications
- This vertical alignment keeps gravity on your side
- Enables fast alignment of optics to the interferometer
- Eliminates the induced error from bending and stress points when holding the edge horizontally.
- Reduces potential damage from edge stress and optics falling over when holding against gravity.
