Thorlabs' XT95 Optical Rails are our largest and most rigid construction rails. They consist of extruded lengths of aluminum, and each rail side features a linear mounting surface with two T-Slots and two outer wings that span the rail length. Their precision construction allows large-scale optical assemblies to be translated along the rail axis with excellent mechanical stability. Originally designed for vacuum-tight flight paths, these optical rails are ideal building blocks for three-dimensional, load bearing structures; large-scale optical instrumentation setups; or modular, expandable assemblies that require the highest degree of support. The outer wings, which provide additional stability against longitudinal and torsional pressures, are tapped with eight M6-threaded holes.

The standard four-sided rails measure 95 mm to a side and are available in six stock lengths, ranging from 250 - 2000 mm. The one-sided rails are available in 500 mm or 1000 mm lengths and include clearance slots for securing the rails horizontally to an optical table. Upon request, we can ship the finished four-sided rails in any length from 50 - 2000 mm, or we can provide the raw rail extrusion in lengths up to 3.5 m (11.5'). Finished rails feature a durable, clear anodized coating.

Thorlabs' product family for 95 mm rails includes angle adapters, leveling feet, a base plate, and a vacuum adapter that supports pressures down to 10^-6 torr. In addition, we manufacture mounting platforms and T-Nuts that provide compatibility with standard optomechanics. Together with size adapters that incorporate 66 mm rails into an XT95 setup, these tools provide a complete family of rigid, versatile building blocks suited for virtually any optomechanical setup.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to kendra.albers@gtri.gatech.edu: Thank you for submitting your request. The XT95P1 rail plate and XT95P2 right angle carriage are tapped with M6 holes. However, we can provide versions of these plates with 1/4"-20 holes. I will contact you directly to set up a formal quotation. http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=2302

Are there any rail carriages/ rail plates that work with the XT95SP rails that have 1/4-20 holes?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to o.suttmann: Thank you for your feedback. The manufacturing of an XT95-CUSTRAIL requires a customized tool setup. Due to that, the overall price per rail significantly goes down when ordering quantities of 3 or more, since the same setup can be used for all rails. Regarding the lead time, we can try to expedite your order without any additional charges.

To whom it may concern, In my opinion, your XT95-CUSTRAIL is way too expensive. Especially, when taking into account up to four weeks of delivery time. Kind Regards, Oliver
