ELL6K Dual Position Optics Slider Kit Chapter 3: Description
There are several options for mounting the sliders. The ELLA1 Post Mount Adapter, which is available below, has
a 14.0 mm width and fastens directly to the back of the slider's PCB. As shown in Figure 2, the adapter can then
be used to mount the slider to a Ø1/2" post. The compact dimensions of the ELLA1 allows sliders to be placed
one behind the other while minimizing the space separating them, as shown below. The adapter can also be
integrated with Thorlabs' 30 mm Cage System components and/or SM1-threaded components, such as lens
tubes. Alternately, 30 mm cage system components alone can be used to mount the sliders. An example of this is
shown in Figure 23, in which a CP02 Cage Plate, four ER1 rods, a Ø1/2" post, and a post holder mount and
support the assembled ELL6K.
