The 230-F Series stands are a great solution when absolute stability is required, and no vertical height adjustment is needed.  Often the perfect choice for tracker, scanner, or portable CMM arm applications, the 230-F Series stands give you performance that is as solid as a rock, and easy on your budget as well.  This stand comes in several heights (see table below) and is also available in custom heights as required.  Permanently mounted on top of this stand is an adapter with an external 3½" x 8 instrument thread.  Note that our 234 Series extension tubes are often used with the 230-F stands when accommodation of various fixed heights is required.

As stated, this stand maintains instrument position extremely well, but is not the type of stand that you throw over your shoulder and carry around.  Mobility around the shop floor is permitted using the drop-down casters under the heavy-duty tribrach base which are engaged and released by a foot pedal.  The stand rests on three adjustable 5/8"-11 trivet bolts when the casters are retracted.

*The height specification in the table at left is the approximate distance from the floor to the top of the flange on the stand's instrument mount (corresponding to the bottom of an instrument's baseplate), with the casters retracted.  Small changes in height may be observed depending upon the adjustment of the trivet bolts.
