Irvine, CA – September 11, 2013 – Newport, a worldwide leader in photonic solutions introduces a unique new precision peg feature to its comprehensive portfolio of one-inch diameter optical pedestals. Pedestals are a popular building block for high-stability mechanical assemblies in both optical and production labs. The patented PS-1P peg adaptor post optimizes the usability and versatility of pedestal post assemblies by allowing any of the PS-T pedestals or other compatible components to be quickly removed or precisely installed while maintaining their location in an optical setup.
“The peg adapter facilitates rigid setups with no need to rotate the mating parts when installing or removing, e.g. the pedestals, posts, or post holders, for assembly or disassembly,” explains Rick Sebastian, Sr. Manager Product Marketing for Opto-Mechanics at Newport. “It is particularly useful for assemblies that have no access to mounting screws from the top and for larger assemblies using several posts, like supporting a breadboard over a breadboard, for example.”
