Corning shutter frame / Schildderahmen Form A 10DA, 85 mm, 1.5 cm

Corning shutter frame / Schildderahmen Form A 10DA, 85 mm, 1.5 cm is a precision mechanical frame designed to position and secure optical or photonic components in laboratory, telecom and industrial assemblies. The frame provides a stable mounting surface and accurate dimensional reference for small optical elements, helping to maintain alignment and reduce mechanical drift in experimental setups and production equipment.

Advantages

The Corning shutter frame offers rigid construction with tight dimensional tolerances suitable for repeatable positioning. Its compact footprint (85 mm by 1.5 cm thickness) supports space-constrained installations while preserving mechanical stability. The design facilitates easy integration into mounting arrays and rack systems used in optical benches and communication hardware. Materials and finishing are chosen to minimise mechanical play and to withstand routine handling in laboratory and industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Positioning small optical elements in bench-top experiments
• Mechanical support for telecom modules and assemblies
• Integration into alignment fixtures and test stations
• Industrial systems requiring compact, stable frames

Key specifications

• Form factor: Form A shutter/frame
• Nominal width: 85 mm
• Thickness: 1.5 cm
• Intended use: positioning and securing optical/photonic components
• Compatibility: designed for integration with optical benches, racks and alignment fixtures

How to use

Mount the Corning shutter frame onto a flat, rigid surface or within the intended rack or bench slot using compatible fasteners or clamps. Place the optical element into the frame opening and secure it according to the element's mounting method, ensuring alignment with downstream components. Verify position with alignment tools such as microscopes, beam profilers or alignment lasers and make fine adjustments as required. Follow routine inspection to confirm that mechanical connections remain secure and that the frame maintains its intended position under operational conditions.

Recommendations

Handle the frame with clean gloves to avoid contamination of optical surfaces and use appropriate torque settings on fasteners to prevent deformation. For precision alignment tasks, pair the frame with micrometer stages or adjustable mounts to achieve sub-millimetre positional control. Store frames in protective packaging when not in use to prevent scratches and maintain dimensional accuracy.
