ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for aligning the object focus of an elliptical reflector, such as positioned within the filament tube of a filament irradiating unit, with a directional axis, such as the centerline of the filament as it travels through the tube. The apparatus includes a support assembly for mounting the tube in a precisely fixed position, and three adjustable mounting assemblies connected to the support assembly at three spaced apart connection points for mounting the support assembly on a stationary base. Each of the mounting assemblies includes a pair of linkages each of adjustable length and forming two sides of a triangle with its apex at the point of connection to the support assembly. Each connection point is at the apex of an imaginary triangle such that adjustment of the mounting assemblies provides both lateral and tilting movements of the support assembly relative to the stationary base, and the central tube axis may be easily tilted, as well as moved laterally, into coincidence with the directional axis from multiple directions.
