Microbench Nanobench Tube System C Positioners Rail Systems Mounts and Posts Mirror Mounts Breadboards and Optical Table Tops All LINOS Optical Table Tops are of unique design. Our consistent use of all theoretical principles resulting in superior stiffness and optimized internal damping has led to their being ranked among the best Optical Table Tops commercially available. Major features include: •• Small cell, steel-honeycomb cores •• Steel top/bottom plates and sidewalls •• Threaded holes tapped directly into their top plates •• Patented „CleanTop II“ sealing of all tapped holes •• Hybrid, integral, damping mechanisms •• High-strength, non-aging, epoxied joints •• Broad range of standard models• • Design Features All of our Optical Tables are laminated structures con sisting of steel top and bottom plates bonded under high pressure, by two lapped granite plates, to steel-honey comb cores using a special epoxy resin. Their sidewalls are fabricated from steel plates, and seam-welded to other structural elements to form rigid structural units. All Table Tops are equipped with specially tuned, inter nally mounted, damping mechanisms, such as damping mats laminated onto the inner surfaces of their sidewalls and damping masses installed at strategically chosen internal points. Their broadband characteristics make them equally effective at all frequencies. Our „Clean-Top®“ option seals the bottoms of tapped holes in Table Tops with special tubular caps that prevent liquids that might attack bonding adhesives from entering the interiors of Table Tops. Steel-honeycomb Cores Our steel-honeycomb cores are fabricated from 0.25 mm gauge corrosion-resistant coated sheet steel. The small diameters of the tubular caps used on Table Tops equipped with our Clean-Top option have allowed us to reduce honeycomb-cell cross-sectional area to 3 cm 2 . The resulting high cell density yields extremely stiff table-top structures. This high cell density also provides large contact areas for bonding top and bottom plates to honeycomb cores, making Table Tops even stiffer. Our honeycomb cores incorporate even smaller cell cross-sections at strategic points, which increases their ave rage mass density to 0.27 g/cm 3 . This type of honey comb -core design has a shear modulus of 1.9 x 10 9 N/m 2 . Top Plates Top plates are fabricated from coldrolled ferromagnetic stainless steel, and directly bonded to honeycomb cores by a bonding process that leaves them Q-enabled Special orders are standard for LINOS! Steel-honeycomb core unstressed. Top plates are available in thicknesses of 3 mm or 5 mm, and are flat to within ±0.13 mm over the entire surface. The upper surfaces are ground to reduce disturbing reflections. Bottom Plates Bottom plates are bonded to honeycomb cores using the same process used for bonding top plates, and are also left unstressed. Bottom plates are fabricated from cold-rolled steel and coated with black epoxy paint. The unique, direct core-to-top bonding improves the thermal conductivity of the core to the outside environment, reducing the „thermal relaxation time“ for the top. Bot tom plates have the same thickness as top plates. Special sizes, materials, bore hole patterns and cutouts available on request.

Optical Tables Sidewalls Sidewalls are fabricated from 1.9 mm gauge cold-rolled steel in order to provide even greater stiffness, even better structural integrities, and the structural uniformity needed to preclude thermal distortions, even under large temperature excursions. Sidewalls are seam-wel ded along all edges, and have damping mats applied to their inner surfaces. Their outer surfaces are coated with fiber-reinforced, grained, vinyl. Stainless-steel guards protect all corners. The plastic coatings on their outer surfaces make sidewalls highly resistant to dampness and moisture. Sidewall plates may be drilled and tapped for attaching various types of hardware. CleanTop II Equipment The new CleanTop II Optical Top equipment is the best method to protect the honeycomb core from outer flowing in, e.g. agressive fluids. Its design involved capa ci tance discharge welding a 25 mm long stainless steel or plated steel cup under each drilled hole prior to thread tapping. Cups are epoxy-bonded and made from nylon-6, and stainless steel (optional). CleanTop II cups are small and cylindrical, this allows a high core density and therefore assures highest stability of the honeycomb core. Chemical resistance of nylon 6 and stainless steel: Nylon 6 Stainless Steel Aromatic solvents excellent excellent Aliphatic solvents excellent excellent Hydrocarbons excellent excellent Gasoline and oils excellent excellent Refrigerants excellent excellent Chlorinated solvents fair excellent Weak acids good excellent Strong acids attacked excellent Weak alcalines excellent excellent Strong alcalines good excellent Oxidizing agents attacked excellent Tapped-hole Grids All threads are cut into through-holes in Table Top plates using high-precision taps. These accurately cut, smooth ly finished, threads provide the easy, manual, insertion of threaded fasteners needed for rapid assembly of Optical experiments. Unlike threaded inserts or bush ings, tapped holes withstand both tensile and compres sive loads. The heavy-gauge, high-strength, stock we use for our Table Top plates will support even heavy objects without buckling. All tapped holes have cham fered rims in order to preclude personal injuries. Nylon 6 CleanTop II All Table Tops are available with tapped holes spaced on 25 mm centers. A closer look All protective caps on the CleanTop®II are made of chemically resistant Nylon 6 or, optionally, stainless steel.
