SCHOTT 120.250 Mounting Bracket for Base 158.340 — Workstation Mounting Hardware

The SCHOTT 120.250 is the dedicated mounting bracket for the SCHOTT 158.340 base. It is used to build stable, repeatable microscope and inspection illumination stations—helping lock in geometry (height, angle, and position) so illumination performance stays consistent across operators and shifts.

Hardware note: This is a mounting accessory (not a light source and not a light guide). It is typically used as part of a modular build: Base → Bracket → Column/Fixture → Illumination.

Specifications:

Manufacturer: SCHOTT
Part number / SKU: 120.250
Function: Mounting bracket for Base 158.340
Quantity option: 1 Bracket
Weight: 1.00 lb
Availability: 2–3 weeks

Typical Use Case

Use the 120.250 to interface your mounting structure to the 158.340 base. Once the bracket is installed, teams commonly add a column clamp/bracket sized to the workstation column diameter (25mm / 30mm / 32mm / 35mm) to complete a rigid, standardized station build.

The Technical Vault: SCHOTT 120.250 Mounting Bracket (for Base 158.340)

Vault purpose: Why mechanical rigidity and repeatable geometry matter in microscopy and inspection illumination—and how the 120.250 bracket fits into a standardized station build.

1) What the 120.250 is

The SCHOTT 120.250 is the dedicated mounting bracket for SCHOTT base 158.340. It provides a secure interface point so downstream hardware (column clamps, fixtures, arms, light-guide holders) can be mounted with repeatable alignment. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

2) Why rigidity matters (inspection repeatability)

Stable contrast: fixed light angle and distance reduces day-to-day changes in glare and shadows.
Reduced operator drift: fewer “small adjustments” that unintentionally change defect visibility.
Camera consistency: repeatable illumination geometry supports consistent exposure and thresholds in machine vision.

3) Typical modular build (recommended)

A robust bench setup commonly follows: Base (anchor) → 120.250 bracket (interface) → column bracket/clamp → illumination fixture or light-guide holder.

Core component:

158.340 Base with 3 × M6 Thread Holes

Column bracket sizing (choose by your column diameter):

4) Deployment tips (what to document)

Geometry: record angle + distance of illumination relative to the part.
Setpoint: record intensity and/or strobe settings on the light source (if applicable).
Fixture constraints: document “do not move” points so maintenance resets correctly.

Practical reality: if your criteria depend on seeing haze, fine scratches, or edge chips, small mount changes can flip what’s visible. Mechanical lock-down is usually the fastest “quality improvement” you can buy.

5) 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.

6) Source basis (spec traceability)
