SUPREMA sets the new performance standard in a modular precision optical mount for today's demanding research, development, and industrial OEM applications. The most critical features in a kinematic optical mount are adjustment "feel" and long-term stability. SUPREMA provides the feel necessary to tune the most sensitive set ups and the stability to hold that position better than any other modular mount on the market.
SUPREMA-S kinematic optical mounts provide unmatched thermal stability. SUPREMA-N kinematic optical mounts are highly configurable with multiple actuator options. All design elements: form, fit, and function, are optimized to create a kinematic optical mount that is configurable and adjustable while providing rock-solid stability and reliability. 36 configurations are available in two series, Suprema-N and Suprema-S, described below :
SUPREMA-N kinematic optical mounts :
SUPREMA-N kinematic optical mounts offer a wide range of configurations; front or rear mounted optical components, broad selection of actuator options, and optional locks. SUPREMA-N kinematic optical mounts are fabricated from pressed and sintered powdered metal Stainless Steel, using a Patent Pending process, resulting in a cost-effective method of achieving performance approaching wrought Stainless Steel. Newport's SUPREMA-N design has been optimized utilizing our broad experience in opto-mechanics, vibration damping and isolation, optics, and material science. Through comprehensive design, finite element analysis, and rigorous testing, we have achieved performance previously attained only through high cost, custom Stainless Steel mounts.
Newport Patented clear quadrant design exposes the edge of the optic, allowing beams to pass close to the edge of a mounted optic. Optics can be held securely in place against precision mounting pads using the nylon-tipped setscrew, or be epoxied in place. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that epoxying the optic in place provides the optimal performance and stability.

Key Features of SUPREMA-N

1) Patented Clear Quadrant Design
2) Symmetrical face plate design is reversible for front or rear mounting of optic
3) Carbide pads for smooth feel and actuation through lifetime of product
4) Four precision steel springs for increased stiffness and stability and smooth feel throughout travel range
5) Precision 100 TPI adjustment screws
6) Quick-change actuators
7) Large choice of precision actuators

SUPREMA-S kinematic optical mounts :

SUPREMA-S kinematic optical mounts offer superior thermal stability. Documented thermal drift measurements prove SUPREMA-S to be the new standard in stable kinematic optical mounts. The unique design features of the SUPREMA-S, including the material and configuration, make SUPREMA-S the choice for the most demanding research, development, and industrial OEM applications. Mount induced thermal drift has been almost completely eliminated.
SUPREMA-S kinematic optical mounts are fabricated from pressed and sintered powdered metal Stainless Steel resulting in a cost-effective method of achieving performance nearly identical to wrought Stainless Steel. Newport's SUPREMA-S design has been optimized utilizing our broad experience in opto-mechanics, vibration damping and isolation, and materials science. Through comprehensive design, finite element analysis, and rigorous testing, we have achieved performance previously attained only through high-cost, custom Stainless Steel mounts.

Key Features of SUPREMA-S

1) Symetrical face plate design is reversible for front or rear optic mounting
2) Carbide pads for smooth feel and actuation throug lifetime of product
3) No brass collets for adjustment screws for improved thermal performance and reliability
4) 100 TPI adjustment screws provide finer adjustment sensitivity
5) Four precision steel springs for increased stiffness and stability and smooth feel throughout travel range
