Linear motion micrometer adjusting micro rail

Linear motion micrometer screw focusing or micro rail. The bottom rail include Arca Swiss compatible dovetail that works with Arca Swiss type clamp while the slider is equipped with quick release clamp. Clamp can be oriented in 4 positional using center screw and dowel pins . Camera to subject distance can be adjusted in fine increments using Mitutoyo Micrometer Head with 0-25mm range and 0.01mm graduation. Micrometer head can be oriented in any direction ( default orientation is with scale facing up ) Rail will work in 90 degree orientation ( perpendicular to ground) with load up to 10lb and up to 15lb in horizontal orientation ( parallel to ground). Work very nice as replacement to Newport Linear stages

Looks very interesting.

What is the available travel distance of the camera platform?

I've just read the details more closely. In the current configuration total travel would be 25mm.

I can make one with 2 inch travel but micrometer in that range are very expensive.

Chris,

The Newport or Thorlabs fine pitch lead screws are a good alternative to Vernier Micrometers and much less expensive.
