Description
Optical Bench Stand Gear Pinion Elevation XY Table Lab Slide Positioner Stage
This is a precision optical bench stand featuring a gear-and-pinion rack elevation column with dual guide rods and a two-axis (XY) positioning table. The stand is built from machined aluminum and steel and mounts on a four-wheeled roller base for easy repositioning on a bench or work surface. The XY table carries a flat rectangular platform fitted with a glass or acrylic insert, and the elevation column allows smooth vertical adjustment of the carriage via the rack-and-pinion gear mechanism. The unit is functional and moves as intended; lubrication of the gear rack and sliding surfaces is recommended before regular use.

Applications
Gear-and-pinion elevation stands with XY tables like this one are standard fixtures in optical, photographic, and scientific laboratory settings. They are commonly used as copy stands for document or specimen photography, as positioning platforms for optical components on a bench, and as stages for holding samples or instruments at a precise height and lateral position. The rack-and-pinion column provides repeatable, fine vertical adjustment — useful for aligning cameras, lenses, light sources, or sensors at a specific working distance above a specimen or target surface. The wheeled base allows the whole assembly to be moved and repositioned without lifting. These stands are also used in educational optics labs, film and print reproduction work, and quality-control inspection setups where a stable, adjustable platform is needed.
This optical bench stand with gear-and-pinion elevation and XY positioning table has been inspected and is in good used condition. The gear-and-pinion elevation mechanism and XY table are functional, though the unit needs lubrication before regular use. The machined aluminum and steel construction shows normal surface wear consistent with lab or shop use. The dual guide rod columns, rack gear, XY stage, and roller base all appear intact and complete. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
