ABSTRACT:
A tilting kinematic mount having optics which may be precisely positioned so as to direct light or other energy to a number of measuring devices. Optic carrying tilting plates, interleaved with stationary plates are moved by linear actuators. An arrangement of balls and grooves establishes positioning of the tilting plates in a kinematic mount relative to the stationary plates, thus achieving the precise rearrangement of optical elements relative to a central axis and the redirection of the energy beam onto the sensing devices.
