Selecting an Optical Table - CVI Melles Griot - #1

Vibration-Isolation and Support Systems Optical Tabletops Optical Breadboards and Base Plates Workstations OEM All CVI Melles Griot optical tables feature: $ Excellent Surface Flatness This eliminates the need to readjust components for height variations across the tabletop and prevents component wobble. Highquality magnetic stainless steel plates are specially handled to maintain superior flatness throughout the manufacturing process. Our unique thermal bonding process ensures that stress is not induced during manufacture. $ Athermalized Design The unique athermalized design found in all CVI Melles Griot tabletops uses magnetic stainless steel for both the top and bottom plates. This eliminates thermal bowing effects caused by temperature variations. $ Solvent Resistant Due to the mechanical construction no part of the table is vulnerable to chemical attack. $ Lifetime Warranty CVI Melles Griot tabletops are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. StableTop™ tables feature: $ Minimum Relative Tabletop Motion The triple plate, double-honeycomb design provides unsurpassed stiffness and excellent dynamic rigidity. $ Low Dynamic Deflection Strategic positioning of tuned and broadband dampers ensures superior performance by reducing the compliance curve resonance peak, which further reduces relative tabletop motion. $ Sealed Holes for Easy Clean-Up Each group of four adjacent holes is sealed beneath the top plate by a sealing cup, allowing liquid and solid debris to be easily removed. CVI Melles Griot Optical Tabletop Design www. cvimellesgriot .com 30.2 Optical Tabletops CVI Melles Griot StableTop™ optical tables have a triple-plate double-honeycomb core design for maximum stiffness. stainless steel top and bottom skin (same material prevents bowing with temperature change) steel sealing cups (ensure themal conductivity and greater rigidity) triple layer (creates shorter elements between top and bottom skin therefore increasing stiffness) hot press bonded (entire table bonded under high pressure and temperature providing greater rigidity and stiffness) steel honey comb (provides a high strength to weight ratio) steel side walls (provide greater stiffness)
