Non-Magnetic Optical Table Top

The scientific grade optical table top is based on the broadband standard damping which minimizes relative displacement in a wide frequency, offering a promised performance and quality for extensive applications. The scientific grade optical table provides the same features as the research grade optical table top but with reduced the structural damping level.

Steel Honeycomb Core Structure

The corrugated honeycomb steel layers are vertically expoxy bonded with a stainless steel top skin, a carbon steel bottom skin and sidewalls, increasing its core density and minimizing its cell size. The steel honeycomb core structure provides the highest core density and the smallest honeycomb core cell size, offering the maximum static and dynamic rigidity.

Smallest Honeycomb Core Cells

Our steel honeycomb core yields in the highest core density and the smallest honeycomb cell size 2.9㎠, offering the superb rigid table top. As the smallest honeycomb cells contributing to increase the elastic selection modulus, the natural frequency of the optical table tops increases, which the table top is less likely to respond to external forces and unfiltered vibration. Moreover, the higher natural frequency minimizes vibration intensities and deflection under loads. Our optical table top is all steel constructed, ensuring the long term thermal stability.

Individually Sealed Mounting Holes

Spill-proof and non-corrosive nylon cups are individually epoxy-bonded under each mounting hole to prevent spilling of liquids from contaminating the honeycomb core.

Tapped and Clean Surface

The table top surface is precision tapped and delicately sanded to provide a non-reflecting surface. Moreover, the surface is completely cleaned to remove residual metal particles and cutting fluids.

The corner compliance was measured on a 2000 x 1200 x 300 mm Scientific Grade optical table top.
