Laser Beam Delivery Components

Telescopic Beam Tube

Overview

The 19 mm Telescopic Beam Tube is designed for sections of a beam delivery path attached to moving or translating axes. It consists of male and female telescoping tubes sealed with a shaft seal at the slip joint to protect against contaminates entering the system. The telescopic beam tube works in both vertical and horizontal orientations, allowing for adjustable stroke while maintaining a sealed and aligned beam path.

Applications

Telescopic beam tubes are designed for setups where the optical path needs to be adjusted occasionally, not for continuous axis motion. They provide a clean, enclosed beam path while allowing for small changes in system geometry.

Common uses include:

  • Laser Cutting – Adjusting focus position when switching to thicker or thinner materials while keeping the beam path protected.

  • Laser Welding – Fine-tuning standoff distance or optical spacing without swapping out fixed-length tubes.

  • Lab and R&D Setups – Supporting micrometer-driven translation stages, experimental benches, or optical assemblies where components are repositioned between tests.

  • General System Adjustments – Useful anywhere the beam path length may need to be reconfigured intermittently to match process requirements.

By combining contamination protection with flexibility for intermittent adjustment, telescopic beam tubes provide a practical solution for systems that demand both reliability and configurability.

Selecting a Part Number

To select the correct Telescopic Beam Tube, follow these parameters:

  1. Select the Mounting Thread Styles (Both Ends)

    • Options include male‑male (CM‑CM), male‑female (CM‑CF) female‑male (CF‑CM), or female‑female (CF‑CF) ends using the standard 1″‑32 thread.

  2. Choose Stroke and Overall Length

    • “MAX” = fully extended length

    • “MIN” = collapsed length (stroke)
      Pick a beam tube with sufficient extension range for your translating axis.
