THREAD BASED MECHANISM FOR PRECISION HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
Background of the Invention
Sensor modules and optical components have to be held with accurate & precise vertical adjustment for them to function properly. A vertical micro movement with a unique mechanism is designed & developed to full-fill the lab requirements. It is mainly used for precise alignment of equipment wrt fixed mounting plate. Presently, the electronic & optical module mounted on top of the base plate will have 16 mm precision movement with accuracy of 1 micron/less.

Optical Post:
Optical posts and pedestals are used to precisely control the elevation and location of optical mounts on a breadboard or optical table.
Typically, the post is screwed and secured to the optical table by a clamping fork or a post holder, which is the interface between the optical mount and the optical table.

OPTICAL COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS MOUNTS:-
The optical mounting needs is the mount, which is attached to the post and suspends the optical component in its place. Typical optical experiments and systems use multiple optical components such as lenses, filters, and mirrors. Because these components require alignment relative to each other, one of the key features of an optic mount is multi-axis adjustability. To facilitate this adjustability, optic mounts are constructed with intricate, high tolerance parts. While these parts interact with the high precision needed to align optics.
