The XT66P2/M by ThorLabs is a versatile rail carriage designed to meet the demands of optomechanical setups. With a closely packed array of tapped holes and counterbores, this rail carriage provides a complete family of rigid and versatile building blocks that are ideal for a wide range of applications. The XT66P2/M is engineered to accommodate a variety of accessories that can be used with size adapters that incorporate 34 mm and 95 mm rails into the rail carriage setup. This compatibility makes the XT66P2/M an essential tool for constructing complex optomechanical setups with ease.
The XT66P2/M can be fastened to a 66 mm rail using the included side-mounted 9/64" (M3) locking screw. The swinging clamping arm provides ample clearance to lift the carriage off when the locking screw is loosened, allowing the carriage to be installed anywhere along an exposed rail side. Moreover, with a compatible rail platform positioner, the position of the rail carriage can be finely adjusted to achieve precise results. The XT66P2/M also features four counterbored holes at the corners, which are positioned such that the rail carriage can be fastened to the end of a standard 66 mm rail using four M3 cap screws. In this orientation, the clamping arm is free to hold another 66 mm rail at a right angle. Alternatively, optomechanics can be attached to the rail ends, providing flexibility and convenience in an optomechanical setup.
