STL6-A Stereo Microscope Arm Stand

The STL6-A is an articulating arm stand with a C-clamp base designed to hold a stereo microscope head or focusing mount.

Product Overview

The STL6-A is an articulating arm stand with a C-clamp base designed to hold a stereo microscope head or focusing mount. It provides 400mm vertical travel and 770mm horizontal movement, allowing the operator to position the microscope head at any angle or height for access to large or awkwardly shaped workpieces. The stand supports a maximum clamping size of 50mm and is supplied with an A3 focusing mount for precise vertical adjustment.

  • Vertical post height400mm
  • Horizontal movement770mm
  • Base size98x80x116mm
  • Maximum clamping size50mm
  • Focusing mountA3
  • Mounting interfaceStandard C-mount for microscope heads

Key Benefits

  • 400mm vertical travel allows the microscope head to be raised or lowered to suit operator height or workpiece depth
  • 770mm horizontal movement enables the head to reach across large workbenches or around fixed equipment
  • C-clamp base secures the stand to a bench or table with a maximum clamping size of 50mm
  • A3 focusing mount included for fine vertical control of the microscope head
  • Articulating arms allow the head to be positioned in any direction, including over the side or back of a workpiece

Application Scenarios

  • Positioning a stereo microscope over a large PCB assembly or mechanical housing with limited bench space
  • Inspecting a complex moulded part that requires viewing from multiple angles without repositioning the workpiece
  • Supporting a microscope head during long-duration inspection tasks where operator posture must be adjusted
  • Mounting a microscope on a bench with a fixed tool or fixture that blocks standard stand placement
  • Using the stand in a shared lab environment where multiple users need to adjust the head position quickly

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection on large assemblies
  • Precision assembly workshops handling large or irregularly shaped components
  • Research labs with limited bench space or fixed equipment
  • Teaching labs requiring flexible positioning for group demonstrations
  • Quality control stations with irregularly shaped or oversized workpieces

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed stand limits the ability to access parts that extend beyond the bench edge or are positioned at an angle
  • Lack of vertical or horizontal range forces the operator to move the workpiece instead of the microscope
  • Standard stands cannot be clamped to benches with irregular or thin edges
  • No integrated focusing mount means the operator must add a separate mechanism for vertical adjustment
  • Inflexible mounting options prevent the microscope from being repositioned for different users or tasks

Technical Features

  • Articulating arm design with multiple pivot points for flexible positioning
  • Vertical post height: 400mm, allowing full range of motion from bench to eye level
  • Horizontal reach: 770mm, enabling access across wide workbenches
  • C-clamp base with maximum clamping size of 50mm for secure attachment to a bench
  • A3 focusing mount included for precise vertical adjustment of the microscope head
  • Base dimensions: 98mm x 80mm x 116mm, providing stable support on a flat surface
  • Designed to support standard stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts

Comparison With Other Options

Fixed-height stereo microscope standThe STL6-A offers 400mm vertical travel and 770mm horizontal reach, allowing access to large or awkwardly positioned workpieces that a fixed stand cannot reach
Tabletop stand without C-clampThe STL6-A uses a C-clamp base, so it can be secured to benches with irregular edges or thin surfaces where a standard base would not hold
Stand without a focusing mountThe STL6-A includes an A3 focusing mount, so vertical adjustment is built in and does not require a separate component

Use Guide

  • Attach the C-clamp to the bench edge, ensuring the surface thickness is within 50mm
  • Adjust the arm to the desired position, then tighten the locking nuts at each joint
  • Ensure the A3 focusing mount is properly aligned with the microscope head before use
  • Avoid overloading the arm with heavy heads or accessories beyond the design limits
  • Check the clamp grip periodically during use, especially if the bench surface is uneven
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum thickness of bench the C-clamp can hold?

The C-clamp can secure to benches up to 50mm thick.

Can I use this stand with a digital microscope head?

Yes. The STL6-A is compatible with standard stereo microscope heads, including digital models, as long as they use a compatible mounting interface.

Is the A3 focusing mount adjustable?

Yes. The A3 focusing mount provides precise vertical adjustment of the microscope head.

What is the total horizontal reach of the arm?

The horizontal movement is 770mm from the base pivot point.

Can I add a camera or light source to this stand?

Yes. The stand supports the weight and positioning of standard accessories like ring lights or camera mounts.

Does the stand come with a mounting plate for the microscope head?

The stand includes an A3 focusing mount, which is the standard interface for attaching a microscope head.
