STL6-C Stereo Microscope Arm Stand

The STL6-C is an articulating arm stand with a C-clamp base, designed to support stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts.

Product Overview

The STL6-C is an articulating arm stand with a C-clamp base, designed to support stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts. It provides vertical adjustment up to 400mm and horizontal movement of 770mm, allowing the microscope to be positioned over a workbench, test fixture, or sample holder. The stand includes an A3 focusing mount and a 25mm diameter vertical post for stable mounting of heads and accessories.

  • Vertical post height400mm
  • Vertical post usable height323mm
  • Horizontal movement770mm
  • Vertical post diameterФ25mm
  • Base size260x280x15mm
  • Base typeC-clamp

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

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

Fixed-height bench standThe STL6-C provides 400mm vertical travel and 770mm horizontal movement, allowing the head to be repositioned over large or off-center workpieces; a fixed stand requires moving the workpiece instead.
Wall-mounted arm standThe STL6-C uses a C-clamp base, so it can be attached to any flat bench surface without drilling; wall mounting requires structural support and is less flexible for repositioning.
Tabletop stand with no articulationThe STL6-C's articulating joints allow the head to be positioned at any angle and height; a rigid tabletop stand limits the viewing angle and reach

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
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum vertical reach of the stand?

400mm, with a usable height of 323mm when mounted on a bench.

Can I mount a digital camera or microscope head on this stand?

Yes. The 25mm diameter vertical post is compatible with standard stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts, including those with camera adapters.
