Features

XPCM1(/M) Stage to 30 mm Cage System Mount
- Snap-On Clamping Flexure Mechanism for Easy Installation in and Removal from Cage Systems
- Directly Mount a PD1(/M) ORIC® 20 mm Translation Stage
- Accepts a PD2(/M) ORIC^® 5 mm Translation Stage Mounted to PD2U(/M) Adapter Plate
PD1FM Ø1" Optic Mount:
- Compatible with the ORIC^® PD1(/M) Translation Stage
- Can be Mounted Parallel or Perpendicular to the Stage's Translation Direction
- Vertically Centers Optic in 30 mm Cage System when Combined with a PD1(/M) Stage and the XPCM1(/M) Mount

The XPCM1(/M) Mount allows a PD1(/M) or PD2(/M) ORIC^® Piezoelectric Inertia Stage to be mounted in a 30 mm Cage System. Four flexure clamping mechanisms allow the mount to snap onto two of the cage rods in a 30 mm cage system; the 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew on the side of each flexure mechanism can be tightened to lock the mount in place. Threaded holes, counterbores, and dowel pin holes in the base plate allow a PD1(/M) stage or PD2U(/M) adapter plate with a PD2(/M) stage on top to be secured to the XPCM1(/M) mount. The stage is constructed from black anodized aluminum.

Additionally, the PD1FM Ø1" Optic Mount is designed to vertically center an optic in a 30 mm cage system when mounted to a PD1(/M) 20 mm piezoelectric inertia translation stage supported by the XPCM1(/M) stage to cage mount. Two pairs of 2-56 (M2) counterbores allow the optic mount to be installed parallel or perpendicular to the stage's direction of translation, enabling z- or x-axis adjustment of an optic's position within the cage system. This mount is SM1 (1.035"-40) threaded and includes a POLARIS-SM1RR retaining ring for securing the optic.

Thorlabs also offers the CT1P(/M) 30 mm Cage Compatible Translation Stage, which provides up to 160 µm closed-loop piezo-driven travel and 12 mm of manual travel and is compatible with a variety of accessories for mounting Ø1/2" and Ø1" optics.

Mount a PD1 or PD2 Series Piezoelectric Inertia Stage in a 30 mm Cage System
Variety of Mounting Holes Provided:
- 2-56 (M2 x 0.4) Holes for Securing PD1 Series 20 mm Stages
- #00 (M1.2) Counterbores for Attaching PD2U(/M) Adapter for PD2 Series 5 mm Stages
- 8-32 (M4) Holes for PD1 Series Stages, PD2U(/M) Plates, and Mounting to Ø1/2" Posts
- Array of Dowel Pin Holes to Aid with Stage Alignment
Snap-On Installation onto and Removal from the Cage System
Anodized Aluminum Construction

The XPCM1(/M) Stage to 30 mm Cage Mount is designed to integrate a PD1 or PD2 series piezoelectric inertia stage into a 30 mm cage system. It has four snap-on tabs that allow for easy installation and removal of the mount from the ER cage rods; a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew on each tab can be tightened to secure the mount in place.

The mount features a hole pattern that permits several options for mounting piezoelectric inertia stages and adapter plates. Four 2-56 (M2 x 0.4) mounting holes and four Ø0.08" (2.0 mm) dowel holes enable a PD1 series piezoelectric inertia stage to be directly mounted to the surface. Two #00 (M1.2) counterbores and two Ø0.04" (1.0 mm) dowel holes allow for compatibility with the PD2U(/M) adapter plate, permitting the mounting of a PD2 series 5 mm linear translation stage. Three 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) threaded thru holes down the center line can be used for post mounting the XPCM1(/M) mount, or as another option for securing a PD1 series stage or PD2U(/M) adapter plate. Note that the PD1D(/M) XY stage cannot be used with the XPCM1(/M) cage mount and the PD1FM Ø1" optic mount at the same time.

Note: When mounting a PD1 series stage to a surface with >5 µm flatness, such as the XPCM1(/M) stage to cage mount, the mounting torque may need to be reduced from the recommended values in order for the velocity variation and pitch/yaw of the stage to meet the specifications for the stage. For more information, see the PD1 series 20 mm translation stages web presentation.

Mounting Holes on the PD1FM Optic Mount

Compatible with All PD1 Series 20 mm Piezo Inertia Stages
Vertically Centers an Optic Along the 30 mm Cage System Optical Axis when Used with the PD1(/M) or PD1V(/M) Stage and the XPCM1(/M) Cage System Mount
Mount Optic at 0 or 90° to the Stage's Translation Axis
SM1-Threaded Optic Bore with Included POLARIS-SM1RR Retaining Ring
- Mounts Ø1" Optics up to 0.28" (7.1 mm) Thick

The PD1FM Fixed Optic Mount is designed to mount a Ø1" optic along the optical axis of a 30 mm cage system when used with a PD1(/M) or PD1V(/M) stage and XPCM1(/M) mount, as shown in the photo in the Overview tab.

Note that the XPCM1(/M) cage mount and PD1FM Ø1" optic mount can be used together with the PDX1(/M) stage but the optic will not be centered along the cage system's optical axis. The PD1D(/M) XY stage cannot be used with the cage mount and Ø1" optic mount at the same time. The PD1FM optic mount can be used with all PD1 series stages outside of a cage system.

The base plate has two pairs of #2 (M2) counterbored mounting holes and four 0.07" (1.8 mm) deep alignment pin holes for mounting at 0 or 90° to the translation axis of the stage, enabling z- or x-axis adjustment; two Ø2 mm alignment pins are included with the PD1FM mount. When incorporated into a 30 mm cage system using a PD1(/M) stage mounted on the stage to cage mount above, the full 20 mm translation range of the PD1(/M) or PD1V(/M) stage is achievable in the z direction while the cutouts in the sides of the PD1FM mount provide clearance for ±3 mm of movement along the X-axis.

The optic bore has 0.36" (9.1 mm) deep SM1 (1.035"-40) threads and can hold optics up to 0.28" (7.1 mm) thick when used with the included POLARIS-SM1RR retaining ring.
