Description

(1) The adjustable collimation adapter has external SM1 (1.035"-40) threads, which can provide ±6° pitch/deflection adjustment for cylindrical components. Use cylindrical components such as lasers, fiber collimators or optics The element is integrated into a lens tube, cage system, or optical mount; when used with longer elements, the available space in the SM1-threaded lens tube may limit the adjustment range (providing ±5° pitch/deflection adjustment).

(2) The two adjusting screws on the front panel of the adapter are used to control the pitch and yaw, which are rotated by a 2.0mm hexagon wrench. The front plate of the adapter is also engraved with the pitch and yaw axis, and two holes for the snap ring wrench.
