To assemble the cage segment, first screw an empty CP45T(/M) onto the TR3 (TR75/M)
in the orientation shown in the image to the right and insert it into the post holder
assembled earlier.
Remove the set screws from the two ER10, two ER1,two ER6 and two
ER3 rods.
Next, loosen the locking screws on the two lower holes of the CP45T(/M),
feed the two ER10 rods through, and fix them into the lower holes of the
KCB1C(/M). Fix the two ER1 rods in the two upper holes. Move the
CP45T(/M) with respect to the cage rods until the ER1 fill half of the
CP45T(/M)’s flexure locks. Tighten the two side-located 2 mm (5/64)
setscrews (the smaller/lower ones) on the CP45T(/M) using a 5/64"
(2 mm) hex key. The assembly should look like the image below.
To assemble the beam expander segment, take the two lenses (1) and (2), see above,
and feed the ER6 rods through their cage holes as shown in the photo below. The distance
between the lens centers should be about 12 cm.
Next, click the beam expander segment into the assembly. Note that the cap screws of the
CP45(/M)’s and CP45T(/M)’s flexure mechanism should not be tightened. Take the
remaining CP45T(/M) cage plate and slip it onto the assembly.
Again, the cage rods should
only fill half of the flexure locks.
