Did You Know?

A Goniometer Stage is a motion device that provides controlled movement of an object within a small angular range around an axis which is located outside and above the goniometer stage. Objects mounted on the stage can be moved in a swing like pattern as in a pendulum. These devices are used to rotate an object very precisely about a fixed point in space. These stages are often used for precise optical alignments (e.g. laser crystals, mirrors, lenses) for applications ranging from microscopy to micromachining. You might be interested to also learn that the term “Goniometer” can refer to the name of two distinct instruments used for different purposes. An Optical Goniometer, which is more commonly used in orthopedics, is an instrument that measures angles between any joints. The primary purpose of this procedure is to determine the maximum available range of motion at the joint. The practice of measuring - and knowing how to measure - joints in multiple planes is known as goniometry, and the devices used are called a goniophotometer. The second instrument also commonly called a Goniometer or a Goniometer Stage is the one, which you can see on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Goniometer Stage – oftentimes also referred to as a Goniometric stage – is a device used to rotate a given object with extreme precision about a desired point in space within a very small angular range.

Goniometer Stages - Precise, Reliable, and Controlled Angular Positioning

When your application demands high-precision angular positioning and fine control, goniometer stages enable you to achieve the most accurate rotation with ease. At FindLight, we specialize in offering a range of goniometer stages designed for the delicate angular adjustments required in many optical, scientific, and industrial setups.

What Are Goniometer Stages?

A goniometer stage is a motion control platform that lets you tilt or rotate a component about a horizontal axis with a high degree of precision. Often used in optical benches, metrology setups, biotechnology, semiconductor processing, and many other applications, goniometers enable you to perform small, accurate angular tweaks that are essential for fine alignment and proper functionality.

Goniometers typically rotate over a limited range, frequently ±10°, ±20°, or ±30°, depending on the design, allowing for sophisticated control without requiring a full rotation. This makes them perfect for applications where a small angular adjustment can make a dramatic difference in performance.

Why Are Goniometer Stages So Valuable?

Goniometers enable high-resolution, smooth, and repeatable angular control, a crucial requirement for many scientific and industrial applications. The ability to fine-tune an optical component’s tilt lets you align lasers, mirrors, or sensors with greater confidence, optimizing their performance and yielding more accurate results. Manual goniometers are especially desirable when you need maximum control, simplicity, or when automated routines aren’t necessary.

Types of Goniometer Stages

At FindLight, we collaborate with leading suppliers to bring you a range of goniometers designed to match your application’s demands:

Single-Axis Goniometers: Provide fine angular control about a single horizontal axis - perfect for tilting optical components or samples.

Dual-Axis Goniometers: Combine two orthogonal rotation mechanisms in a compact form - ideal for applications requiring complex angular adjustments.

Rotation Stages with Large Loading Capacity: Support heavy components while retaining smooth, accurate, and repeatable movement.

Rotation Stages with Locking Mechanisms: Provide additional stability by securing their rotation once the desirable angle is reached.

Applications of Goniometer Stages:

Goniometers enable critical and accurate angular positioning across numerous fields, from biotechnology and materials science to industrial manufacturing and metrology. Scientists, engineers, and designers rely on them to align optical components, perform fine sensor calibrations, or aid in developing custom mechanisms where small angular tweaks can make a dramatic difference in performance. Whatever your application, choosing a high-caliber goniometer guarantees maximum control, stability, and repeatability, helping you achieve your most accurate and reliable results.
