Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.BARRINGTON, N.J., June 3, 2011 — Edmund Optics has introduced the TechSpec crossed roller bearing preassembled Z-axis translation stages with bracket for off-the-shelf use in a variety of applications requiring Z-axis movement. The stages provide high accuracy and good rigidity. Because they are preassembled, they save the customer configuration time, offering convenience and ease of use. They can be integrated with TechSpec linear stages to make an X-Z stage or an X-Y-Z stage assembly. They are available in 30-, 40-, 70- and 125- mm sizes. For maximum flexibility, models are offered with a choice of center or...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra November 2022 IssueLaser Line MirrorsTECHSPEC® Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors from Edmund Optics Inc. offer 99% reflectivity at both IR and visible wavelengths.
