ROTOwand™
The ROTOwand™ is a cleanroom compatible vacuum lens-handling tool, perfectly suited for the assembly, coating, or inspection of delicate optics. The wand can be manually rotated facilitating the cleaning, painting and accurate placement of optics without exposing their sensitive surfaces to fingerprints or chipping.
APPLICATIONS:
• Handling miniature lenses
• Cleaning for inspection and coating
• Painting and beveling edges
• Assembling multi-element lenses
• Loading/unloading racks and assemblies
• Picking up delicate optical components
The ROTOwand™ is perfect for handling small and delicate optics for assembly, coating, or quality assurance. A manually rotating wand easily tilts and rotates an optic to allow for cleaning, painting and accurate placement without exposing sensitive optical surfaces to fingerprints or chipping. Reduces cleaning and handling time considerably while eliminating hand soreness caused by using tweezers or other less-suited tools. A right angle wand is available for easier handling of optics under a microscope.
The unit includes a powerful adjustable internal vacuum pump that uses factory air or nitrogen. An internal electrical vacuum pump is available as an option for applications where air or nitrogen is not readily available.
Units come with one standard 10mm vacuum cup with Luer connection. (Additional cups from 1-10mm diameter can be purchased in the online store. If you prefer larger cups with 1/2-20 threaded connection, please specify with your order.)
