Standard Precision Optical Tables

ADC’s optical tables employ an arrangement of standard products to create a table with 6°DOF (degrees of freedom) positioning capabilities. The aluminum honeycomb laminate breadboard (Newport) provides a flat and rigid surface to which experimental apparatus can be mounted with a grid of M6 holes.

The vertical linear actuators are ADC’s utility jacks. Each jack has either two driven or two free DS300 linear slides. These actuators combined comprise the manipulation system for the optical table. Each actuator may be equipped with an optional linear encoder.

The system base is comprised of welded tubular steel with a powder coated finish. To lower the natural frequency and provide passive damping, the base is also filled with sand. When in use, the table rests on three machinery feet. When in transport, the feet are retracted and three casters allow for easy handling.

* Centered on table. Load must be derated as it is moved off center.

** Care must be taken to prevent binding of free actuators in combined tranlations and rotations
