Features
- Mount Two Cage Segments at 90°
- Mounting Options Available:
- 30 mm to 16 mm
- 30 mm to 30 mm
- 60 mm to 30 mm
- 60 mm to 60 mm
- Internally SM-Threaded for Mounting Optics or Lens Tubes
Our right-angle cage system adapter plates enable two cage systems to be mounted at 90°. The SP30 plate mounts a 16 mm cage system on a 30 mm cage system, while the CP30 and LCP30 plates mount a 30 mm cage system on a 30 mm and 60 mm cage system, respectively. The LCP60 plate mounts a 60 mm cage system on another 60 mm cage system. Each cage plate has mounting holes for six cage rods, which are secured in the plate using screws with a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex.
We also offer in-line cage system size adapters, and right-angle cage rod construction accessories for 16 mm cage systems and 30 or 60 mm cage systems.

It's probably because of the different version of Solidworks,
could you please send me Solidworks 2017 version?

- Mount a 16 mm Cage System onto a 30 mm Cage System at a Right Angle
- Six Cage Rod Through Holes Accept SR or ER Series Cage Rods
- Internal SM05 (0.535"-40) Threading for SM05 Lens Tubes and Ø1/2" Optics
- Eight Locking Screws with 5/64" (2.0 mm) Hex
The SP30 right-angle adapter plate couples an orthogonal 16 mm cage system onto a 30 mm cage system. The front face has four Ø4 mm through holes for SR rods while the sides have two sets of Ø6 mm through holes for ER rods. Each through hole is accompanied by a locking 8-32 setscrew, which can be secured using a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key or balldriver. The front face also has an SM05 (0.535"-40) tapped bore for mounting SM05 lens tubes or Ø1/2" optics up to 0.13" (3.3 mm) thick. SM05RR retaining rings are sold separately.
In the photo to the right, a Ø19 mm vapor reference cell is mounted in a GCH25-75 Reference Cell Oven within a 30 mm cage system. The orthogonal 16 mm cage system is mounted using the SP30 adapter plate. A photodetector mounted in this orthogonal cage system can be used to observe fluorescence from a laser beam incident on the vapor in the reference cell.

- Internal SM1 (1.035"-40) Threading for SM1 Lens Tubes and Ø1" Optics
- Eight Locking Screws with 5/64" (2.0 mm) Hex
The CP30 right-angle adapter plate couples an orthogonal 30 mm cage system onto a 30 mm cage system. The front face has four Ø6 mm, 0.36" (9.1 mm) deep, blind holes for ER rods which are secured using 8-32 setscrews. The perpendicular ER rods are secured in the flexure clamps on the sides of the adapter, which can be tightened using 3-48 cap screws. All ER rod mounting features can be secured using a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key or balldriver. The front face also has an SM1 (1.035"-40) tapped bore for mounting SM1 lens tubes or Ø1" optics up to 0.24" (6.1 mm) thick. SM1RR retaining rings are sold separately.

The LCP30 right-angle adapter plate couples an orthogonal 30 mm cage system onto a 60 mm cage system. The front face has four Ø6 mm through holes for ER rods while the sides have two sets of Ø6 mm through holes for the 60 mm cage system.

- Eight Locking Screws with 5/64" (2.0 mm) Hex
The LCP60 right-angle adapter plate couples an orthogonal 60 mm cage system onto a 60 mm cage system. The front face has four Ø6 mm holes that are 0.35" (8.9 mm) deep for ER rods. Two cage locking setscrews secure ER rods in the holes and can be tightened with a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key. The sides have two sets of Ø6 mm through holes for the 60 mm cage system. Each through hole is accompanied by a locking 3-48 flexure locking screw, which can be secured using a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key. The front face also has an SM2 (2.035"-40) tapped bore for mounting SM2 lens tubes or Ø2" optics up to 0.63" (15.9 mm) thick. SM2RR retaining rings are sold separately.
