Best Reasons for Choosing a TMC / LINOS Product<br />
LINOS and TMC are your ideal partners<br />
for vibration isolation solutions. For over<br />
30 years, TMC has specialized in providing<br />
precision working surfaces and<br />
vibration isolation systems for precision<br />
measurement laboratories and industry.<br />
Quality Feature 1<br />
The sidewalls in all Table Tops and<br />
Breadboards from LINOS and TMC<br />
are made of 2 mm thick, damped,<br />
cold-rolled steel profile. The inexpensive<br />
sidewalls made of chipboard<br />
in a competitor product<br />
can absorb moisture, which<br />
causes the material to swell. Furthermore,<br />
they do not ensure unimpeded<br />
heat transfer.<br />

Quality Feature 3<br />
Competitive construction<br />
To provide optimal performance, both<br />
precision “tops” and their supporting<br />
isolators must be designed to address the<br />
central issue: control of environmental<br />
noise.<br />
Quality Feature 2<br />
Table Tops in CleanTop®II design feature top and bottom plates bonded<br />
directly to the steel honeycomb core. When a plastic insert is used<br />
to seal the tapped holes, the insert and its additional adhesive joints<br />
weaken the overall structure considerably. Furthermore the plastic layer,<br />
like the wood sidewalls, obstructs the transfer of heat through the<br />
plate. If one side is heated, massive warping can result (bimetal effect).<br />
The patented CleanTop®II design with its slender, cylindrical protective<br />
caps enables a more closely-meshed honeycomb core structure than a<br />
conical cap form permits. The honeycomb cells average approximately<br />
3 cm 2 , making them 50 % smaller than those in the competitor product.<br />
This ensures higher rigidity and heavier dead weight.<br />

Please find enclosed our arguments for<br />
choosing the optimum solution for your<br />
vibration isolation task.<br />
Competitive construction<br />
Quality Feature 4<br />
The honeycomb core is bonded<br />
to the top and bottom plates<br />
with epoxy resin and the Table<br />
Top is pressed between two highprecision,<br />
lapped granite slabs<br />
until the adhesive has set.<br />
The CleanTop®II design also guarantees a maximum thread engagement<br />
depth of 25 mm. Even a slight misalignment of the plastic insert<br />
reduces the thread engagement depth significantly, and in extreme<br />
cases can damage the sidewall.<br />

Competitive construction<br />
This procedure precludes the<br />
need for post-processing steps<br />
such as polishing, and guarantees<br />
an unparalleled planarity of<br />
better than ± 0.13 over the entire<br />
table surface. The competition<br />
cannot guarantee this planarity<br />
over a surface greater than<br />
600 mm 2 .<br />
