The Newport ULM-TILT is a precision cylindrical laser mount engineered for optical table applications requiring stable, drift-free pointing control. It accommodates laser heads and cylindrical components with diameters from 1 to 1.75 inches (25.4 to 44.5 mm) and delivers two independent axes of tip and tilt adjustment across ±4.5° per axis. The mount employs a kinematic three-point design with hardened and polished ball and V-groove pivots, ensuring repeatable angular orientation and thermal stability without drift.
