STL6-C Stereo Microscope Arm Stand

Key Benefits

• 400mm vertical travel allows the microscope head to reach from a bench surface to a high fixture or test stand
• 770mm horizontal movement enables positioning over large or irregularly shaped workpieces
• C-clamp base secures the stand to a bench or table with a 260x280mm footprint
• 25mm diameter vertical post supports standard stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts
• A3 focusing mount provides precise vertical adjustment for focus and alignment
• Articulating joints allow the head to be positioned at any angle for optimal viewing
• Compact base size fits in tight workspaces without compromising stability
• Supports multiple microscope configurations without requiring a new stand

Application Scenarios

• Positioning a stereo microscope over a large PCB test fixture for automated inspection
• Adjusting the microscope head to view a component on a vertical panel or curved surface
• Aligning a microscope with a test rig or machine tool during in-process quality checks
• Mounting a microscope on a bench with limited space for a fixed stand
• Repositioning the microscope head between multiple workstations on a single bench

Who It Is For

• Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA inspection on large or irregular test fixtures
• Quality control teams using microscopes in production lines with fixed or moving test stations
• Laboratories performing inspection on large or awkwardly shaped samples
• Rework benches where the workpiece is mounted on a vertical or angled holder
• Teaching labs where multiple students need access to a single microscope setup

Problems It Solves

• Fixed stands limit the reach and angle of the microscope head, forcing the operator to move the workpiece instead
• Lack of horizontal movement makes it difficult to position the head over large or off-center samples
• Small base stands tip easily when the microscope head is extended far out
• Inability to adjust the head height means operators must change posture or use ladders
• No standard mounting interface between stand and head leads to unstable setups

Technical Features

• Articulating arm design with multiple joints for flexible positioning
• C-clamp base with 260x280mm footprint for secure attachment to a bench
• Vertical post height: 400mm (adjustable up to 323mm in use)
• Horizontal movement: 770mm across the base
• Vertical post diameter: 25mm
• A3 focusing mount included for precise vertical adjustment
• Stable mounting interface compatible with standard stereo microscope heads and accessories
• Designed for use with 1X to 4.5X zoom stereo heads and focusing mounts

Specifications

Customization Options

• Choose between standard C-clamp base or alternative mounting options if required
• Mount different focusing mounts (A3, A4, etc.) depending on head type
• Use with any standard stereo microscope head (0.7X-4.5X zoom, 1X objective) and accessories
• Add optional auxiliary objectives or eyepieces to extend magnification range
• Combine with a camera or digital imaging system for documentation

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Attach the C-clamp to a flat bench surface and tighten securely before mounting the vertical post
• Adjust the vertical post height to match the workpiece height and ensure the head is within reach
• Use the horizontal arm to position the head over the sample without moving the workpiece
• Set the A3 focusing mount to the desired height before attaching the microscope head
• Ensure all joints are tightened after positioning to prevent drift during use
• Check that the base remains stable when the arm is fully extended horizontally
