1 INTRODUCTION

Important information: Read the manual carefully before using the device.

Inappropriate utilization may cause damage to the device, to the DUT (device under test) and/or

other components of your setup.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

1.1 Intended use

Camera alignment system based on a linear guidance in combination with a cross focusing rack

and ball head allows adjustment of the DUT along X, Y and Z axes. Fix the end position with the

locking wheels.

•Only suitable for indoor use.

1.2 Product variants

UCM is available in two variants:

•Variant 1: with rectangular frame and adjustable feet to place device on any flat surface

•Variant 2: without frame (Z-rail is then screwed directly to the place of operation.

Please note: drilling additional holes suiting your setup will be required).

1.3 Foreseeable missuse

1.3.1 Stuck linear guidance / ball head

If you cannot turn the wheels for X, Y and Z translation or the ball head, loosen the locking

wheels and check the ball head joint and any moving parts for debris.

1.3.2 Hot/cold environment

If you use UCM in a very hot or cold environment (for example in combination with iQ-Climate

Chamber), please allow the device to approach room temperature again before manipulating it

to avoid injuries or mechanical failure.

1.3.3 Risk of tipping over

Only applies to UCM variant 1 (with rectangular frame):

When attaching a heavier DUT to UCM and moving the slide all the way to the front of the Z-rail,

a counter weight on the back of the frame is highly recommended to keep UCM from tipping

over and potentially damaging your equipment.

2 GETTING STARTED

2.1 Scope of delivery

•UCM –Universal Camera Mount

•Novoflex Ball 19P ball head for rotation adjustment

•Novoflex QPL1 camera coupling plate for vertical camera mounting

•Novoflex QPL Slim VERTIKAL for horizontal camera mounting

•Piece of black molleton to prevent stray light

•Manual

2.2 Operating instructions

2.2.1 Setting up for operation

Depending on the desired orientation of your camera, select one of the included quick release

plates.If necessary, the small ball head additionally allows free rotation around all axes in both

horizontal and vertical orientations. Figure 2 shows two possible setups. Since this system is

standard 1/4 inch camera thread, UCM can also be combined with your personal equipment.

2.2.2 UCM operating elements

Cross focusing rack:

Figure 3: operating elements on the cross focusing rack

2.2.3 Camera positioning (X- and Y-axes)

Fix the quick release plate to the DUT, place it in the quick release clamp and tighten it down

using knob 1 (Figure 3). To position the slide, make sure knob 2 (Figure 3) is loosened, then

turn knob 3 (Figure 3) to move the slide. After reaching the desired position, tighten knob 2

down again to secure the slide against accidental movement.

Repeat process for remaining slide.

Figure 4: screws for additional Y-axis adjustment

The marked screws in Figure 4 allow for additional adjustment range on the Y-axis. Simply

loosen both screws until you can slide the whole cross focusing rack up or down the profile.

After reaching the desired position, tighten the screws again.

2.2.4 Camera positioning (Z-axis)

Figure 5: positioning of the Z-slide, height-adjustable feet

Loosen thumb screw (Figure 5, marker 1) and move the Z-slide to the desired position. Then,

tighten the thumb screw down again to secure the Z-slide against accidental movement.

2.2.5 Covering reflective/ light emitting parts during measurements

Depending on your setup and device under test, you might encounter unwanted stray light in

your measurements. To counter this, we included a piece of thick, black molleton with a size of

85x85 cm. Since DUTs vary greatly in shape and size, we have not prepared a cutout but leave

it up to you to apply a cutout that best suits your requirements.

2.3 Preparing UCM variant 2

If you need a Z-rail longer than 350mm, please let us know when you place your order or

preferably beforehand.

Figure 6: Additional holes for mounting required

The Z-rail for UCM variant 2 is supplied without any holes. Figure 6 shows an example of how

the rail could be prepared for mounting.

UCM variant 1 for example is delivered with holes with a diameter 5.5mm. To ensure sufficient

stability, it is not recommended to use a smaller drill diameter and/or screws smaller than M5.

For assembly work, the Z-slide holding the cross focusing rack easily slides on and off each end

of the Z-rail.
