MSTAGE is suitable for mounting any custom unit up to
1.5 kg when the manual stage is fixed horizontally and
up to 0.6 kg when vertically.

beam expander"
MSTAGE manual stage is suitable for MEX13, MEX18
and MEX18-ACH motorised beam expanders.
For expander mounting these steps must be followed:
1. Fix the motorised beam expander with Metric
M4x0.7 8-10mm long screws from the bottom side
of the manual stage:
2. When the expander is properly fixed, place the
manual stage (with fixed expander) on the bottom
side and fix it with Metric M6x1.0 or Imperial 1/4”-20
screws. It can be fixed on both Metric and Imperial
optical breadboards and tables:

6. Positioning the stage"
MSTAGE has four M6x0.25 microscrews for adjusting
platform’s pitch, yaw, Y and Z axis. Two microscrews control
platform’s pitch and Z axis, while another two control yaw
and Y axis. All of them can be adjusted with 2 mm HEX
screwdriver.
1. Make sure the Platform’s (“LOCK”) and Microscrew’s
lock screws are loosen before any adjustment.
NOTE: It is not necessary to unlock all microscrews if only
one axis is going to be adjusted, however platform’s lock
screw should always be unlocked before any adjustment.
2. While adjusting the platform make sure it is easy and
does not require a lot of force. If the adjustment started
to feel tighter the “LOCK” screw must be loosen again.
3. When adjustment is finished lock all four microscrews
with 1.5mm HEX screwdriver.
4. If microscrews are locked, use 3 mm HEX screwdriver
to lock the platform (“LOCK” screw)
CAUTION! Do not use more than 0.8 Nm force while
locking the stage with “LOCK” screw.
CAUTION! Do not adjust the platform with adjustment
microscrews while the platform or microscrews are locked. It
may damage the locking mechanism, or any other part of
the translation stage.
