Abstract
A precision positioning mount for UV-cured adhesives that provides adhesive junctions between modular assembly mounts and structural elements. Contact edges are placed on a first fixating area of an adhesive junction. The contact edges are pronounced edges of faces that slide along a second fixating area during the adjustment process. Thus, the assembly modules and structural elements are precisely referenced before, during and after their positioning and orientating. First and second fixating areas form a cavity that provides a volume for the adhesive. The mounts and structural elements are preferably made of sapphire for increased thermal conductivity. The elements of the assembly mounts are modular and interchangeable and provide various positioning modes.
