Detachable Kinematic Front Plate
Front Plate Magnetically Coupled to the Back Plate with Four Pairs of Rare Earth Magnets
Repeatability Better than 10 μrad
Mounts in Left-Handed or Right-Handed Orientation

Combining the functionality of our popular kinematic base plates with our versatile kinematic mirror mounts, the KS1R offers a unique solution for multi-path beam steering. The detachable front plate is held off the back plate with three 1/4"- 80 lockable fine-adjustment screws, allowing multiple plates to be individually adjusted with respect to a common base plate. The optic is held in place with a nylon-tipped set screw. All of the mount's hex sockets accept a 5/64" (2 mm) ball driver or hex key, simplifying setup. Additionally, the actuator screws may be adjusted using a HKTS-5/64 hex adjuster. Four pairs of rare earth magnets provide the coupling force between the front and rear plates.

Each KS1R consists of one base plate and one KS1RF kinematic front plate. Additional KS1RF front plates can be purchased seperately. Individual front plates can each be set with a different optic and adjusted for specific positioning requirements. Each aligned and mounted optic can then be easily swapped in and out without realigning the system.

It would be much more useful for me if the KS1R had the adjustors with knobs, possibly in the non optic side in a more traditional setup.

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. By keeping the actuators on the front plate, we are able to have kinematic adjustment for different optics and attach multiple plates to the same fixed back plate. We can offer knobs or alternatively an item that has a 5/64 hex key fixed to a removable knob. I will contact you to discuss this further.

Hi, My name is Alex, i work for a company called NT-MDT, based in Ireland, we're designing scanning probes microscopes. We are currently designing a new unit using a laser and we would be very interested in using some your prodcuts, for example the KS1R or 12031-E0W. When i am trying to download a step file or solidwork file, the dimensions are not matching the pdf file, especially the mounting holes. Would it be possible from your side to send me on the correct 3D file? Please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail address at daviet@ntmdt.ie or by phone at +353 (0) 61 33 33 22. Hope to hear form you soon. Best regards, Alex.
