Our 232 Series stands are
great for those special jobs where reaching the heights
is required. The 232 is available in a number of
configurations, whose working heights range from a minimum of
67"
(1.7 m) to as high as 112"
(2.84 m), depending upon the configuration desired.
Stand height is measured from the floor to the top of
the intermediate tube, on which all instrument mount
accessories are attached. This height specification does
not include the added height and range any of our stand
accessories or instrument adapters.
A wide variety of our stand
adapters, slides, lifts, and various instrument mounts fit
into the intermediate tube, which is outfitted with the same
2.825"-20 thread as the intermediate tube on our other,
shorter stands. Refer to the chart below for
the various stock options, or request your own custom variation.
The 232 Series is also available in a "hollow" version, which means that
there is an unobstructed vertical path straight down through the
center of the stand. This is useful in certain applications
when it is critical to position the stand over a specific
point. Any stand or accessory designated as
"hollow" has this characteristic.
Stands in this group are used
to support all types of metrology instrumentation, and
customers who use this stand need stability in
high places. 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 handwheel
crank mechanism. An air-check mechanism provides backup protection
to prevent sudden drops of the instrument column in case the operator
simultaneously releases the collar lock and main handle while disengaging the
ratchet pawl.
For general information about this stand, you can read more
about our heavy duty stands on this
website.
Note: If these stands are not tall enough for you, check out the
232-SP Series stands, or contact us for a custom stand quote.
We have built various stands and vertical tooling bars as
high as 40 feet.
