• Ideal for constructing large-scale, linear optical devices

• Rigid yet lightweight rail design

• Easy-on/Easy-off dovetail mounting

• Rail lengths of up to 20 ft (6.4 m) 

The X95 Rail and Carrier System is a rigid and lightweight support for large-scale, linear optical and instrumentation setups. X95 Rails are cylindrical aluminum extrusions with four longitudinal reinforcing ribs. The 10 mm thick ribs provide four symmetrical dovetail clamping surfaces for carriers and significantly increase the longitudinal and torsional rigidity of the rail. X95 rails are available in standard lengths of up to 8.20 ft (2.5 m). On request, lengths of up to 20 ft (6 m) may be special-ordered. Rail end faces are tapped with four M6 holes in a 63 mm square pattern.

Rigid support structures can be easily constructed using CX95A / CX95AS right angle joints andCX100 structural cubes. Large structures can be stiffened by AX94 or AX95 guy stiffens in a tension arrangement. Newport has adaptor plates to attach X95 components to pneumatic Stable Level Mounts, elastomeric dampers or rubber bumpers. Casters and leveling feet are also available. These options allow flexible sized workstation frames for breadboards, granite tables or small optical tables.

Components can be quickly mounted to or removed from rails via CXL95 carriers. CXL95-50 ,CXL95-80 and CXL95-120 carriers are designed to support positioners with 50 mm, 80 mm and 120 mm width sizes on the X95 Rail. English or metric mounting holes allow direct mounting of a wide selection of linear stages, rotation stages and optical mounts.
For easy assembly and disassembly, carriers can be removed or installed at any point on the rail by loosening the thumbscrew and tipping the carrier. A unique clamp design eliminates contact between the screw shaft and rail for easier sliding, more stable positioning and prevention of possible rail damage from over tightening. Strong, secure dovetail mounting design allows carriers to be mounted vertically on the sides of the rail, or even suspended upside-down from the bottom of the rail.
