What Is Precision Engineering?
What is precision engineering? What fundamental difference sets it apart from “traditional” mechanical engineering, and how can that understanding help make your precision design a success?

Category: Optomechanical Design
Optomechanical design or optomechanical engineering is a field closely related to precision machine design, with the objective of precisely holding or positioning optical elements.
Split clamp design and analysis
Split clamps are a simple, robust method for securing cylindrical components that need to be adjusted axially (e.g., focusing a lens) or rotationally (e.g., a prism holder or an adjustment screw). In both of these cases, the split clamp satisfies one of the principles of a good locking mechanism:
A locking mechanism’s action should not influence the sensitive adjustment that it is intended to secure.
