e•z•Trac™ Rail setup demonstrating low-profile surface-mount design
The e•z•Trac™ Optical Rail System, originally designed to complement our standard and pint-sized Triple-Divide translation stages, are quite useful as a low-profile optical rail system. The low-profile feature is enabled by the surface-mount design which allows the carriers to clamp directly to the same surface where the rail is attached. With this design, the carrier\'s mounting surface is only 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) high; several times lower than that of most optical rail systems. The e•z•Trac™ Optical Rail System is complete with rails of various lengths and carriers in different thicknesses and orientations.
These optical rails are the key to our surface-mount design. You can mount the rails directly to your optical breadboard for quick and easy coarse positioning of the carriers. Precision alignment holes guarantee orthogonality when applied to the Triple Divide stages, and the dovetail design ensures that the carriers clamp down with exceptional stability. Each e•z•Trac rail ships with both 1/4-20 and M6 button-head screws.
