Manual Collimator

Our manual collimator features an eighty percent reduction in discrete parts found in other collimator designs. Uniquely simple, a modular core assembly and perpendicular flat collimator blades provide extremely reliable operation. Directly coupled shutter drives eliminate mechanism and gear backlash common to rotary designs for improved accuracy and ease of use. Unique thumb-slide shutter positioning facilitates adjustments and helps improve positioning accuracy. Compact and simple, it offers improved reliability and performance. Easily maintained, it can be disassembled in minutes.
