SCHOTT 120.235 Mounting Bracket Column (Ø 35mm) — Workstation Mounting Hardware

The SCHOTT 120.235 is a column mounting bracket for Ø 35 mm posts, used to build rigid, repeatable microscopy and inspection illumination stations. When your lighting geometry (angle, distance, and position) stays locked, defect visibility and camera exposure stability improve—and operator-to-operator variation drops.

Hardware note: This is a mounting accessory (not a light source and not a light guide). Choose 120.235 specifically when your station uses a 35 mm diameter column.

Typical Build (Recommended)

Most stable bench builds follow a modular chain: Base (anchor) → Base bracket → Column bracket (this part) → illumination fixture/light-guide holder. If you’re starting from scratch, pair 120.235 with the SCHOTT base and base bracket below.

The Technical Vault: SCHOTT 120.235 Column Bracket (Ø 35 mm)

Vault purpose: Why column diameter, rigidity, and fixed geometry matter—especially when inspection outcomes depend on consistent shadowing, glare control, and repeatable contrast.

1) What the 120.235 is

The SCHOTT 120.235 is a Mounting Bracket Column Ø 35 mm used to secure illumination and accessory structures to a 35 mm post/column as part of a modular workstation build. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

2) Why “fixed geometry” improves inspection repeatability

Shadow control: stable angles prevent unintentional shadow shifts that change perceived defects.
Glare management: locking the light position reduces specular “washout” variability on reflective parts.
Camera stability: consistent illumination geometry supports stable exposure and machine-vision thresholds.

3) Recommended modular build

A robust bench build commonly follows: Base (anchor) → Base bracket → Ø 35 mm column bracket (120.235) → illumination fixture or light-guide holder.

4) Column diameter is not optional

This part is specifically sized for a 35 mm column. If your workstation uses a different post diameter, select the matching bracket to avoid slippage, drift, and misalignment over time.

5) Practical setup tips (what to document)

Angle + distance: record where the illumination is aimed relative to the part.
Setpoint: record intensity and/or strobe settings at the light source.
“Do not move” constraints: mark clamp positions so maintenance resets correctly.

Reality check: If pass/fail depends on subtle haze, fine scratches, or edge chips, small mount changes can flip what’s visible. Mechanical lock-down is often the fastest way to reduce false rejects and inspection drift.

6) Controlled-environment note

This is hardware (not sterile; not marketed as cleanroom-certified). Use in ISO-controlled environments depends on your placement strategy and wipe-down SOP.
