Product catalog summary
Overview
ScienceDesk™ is a modular ergonomic workstation system suitable for telecommunications, biotechnology, and R&D fields. It offers six standard work-surface sizes at a desk height of 30.6 inches (765mm). The system features lightweight aluminum frames with heavy-duty casters and four levels of vibration isolation: active, passive, passive heavy-duty, and rigid.
Isolation Systems
Active systems provide automatic self-leveling and high isolation. Passive systems are for equipment under 180kg (400lbs) needing high vibration isolation. Rigid systems suit environments without significant structural vibrations.
Breadboards and Supports
The system supports UltraLight™, Performance™, and PerformancePlus™ breadboards, sold separately and customizable with accessories for ergonomic workspaces.
Optical Tables and Supports
Includes optical tables from the Performance™ and StableTop™ Series with vibration isolation options. Table supports also feature vibration isolation.
Non-Magnetic Options
Non-magnetic breadboards, optical tables, and vibration isolation systems are available for specific applications.
Accessories
A wide range of accessories, including shelving, keyboard holders, monitor holders, and grounding kits, allows customization of workstations.
Specifications
Active systems support up to 700kg (1545lbs) and require air pressure up to 690kPa (100psi). Passive systems support 45 to 180kg (100 to 400lbs) and require 415kPa (60psi). Rigid systems support up to 700kg (1545lbs) without isolation.
Breadboards
Available in thicknesses of 60mm (2.4") and 110mm (4.3"), constructed with a triple-plate, double honeycomb core for thermal stability and damping. Magnetic stainless steel top and bottom plates with a flatness of ±0.10mm over any 0.3m² area.
Pricing and Dimensions
Models listed with dimensions and prices in USD, GBP, EUR, RMB. Sizes range from 2.5' x 2.5' to 4' x 3' and 750mm x 750mm to 1200mm x 900mm.
Recommendations
Contact local sales offices for quotations including shipping. Visit Thorlabs' website for mechanical drawings and solid models.
Enclosure Systems
Designed to protect instruments on MB Series Breadboards, featuring a 12" (30cm) internal height and black hardboard sides for light-sensitive applications. Shipped flat and assembled in under 30 minutes.
Non-Magnetic UltraLight™ Optical Breadboards
Ideal for optical setups requiring portability and dynamic rigidity, with a flatness of ±0.15mm over any 0.30m² area.
Performance™ Series Optical Breadboards
Economical high-performance breadboards with a double-plated, single honeycomb-core, and athermalized design.
ScienceDesk™ Workstations
Compatible with UltraLight, Performance, and PerformancePlus breadboards, offering flexibility in creating workstations with various vibration isolation options.
Specifications and Features
Optical tables are designed to minimize response to deflective forces or vibrations. They are massive, weighing between 173kg to 781kg, depending on dimensions.
Vibration Isolation
Seismic mounting is emphasized to isolate tables from floor vibrations, using a mounting system with a low resonant frequency.
Transmissibility and Resonance
Transmissibility varies with vibration frequency, and damping is crucial to reduce transmissibility at resonance.
Damping Mechanisms
Damping reduces oscillation amplitude by converting vibrational energy into other forms, such as heat.
Seismic Mounting of Optical Tables
Optical tables should be seismically mounted to prevent ambient building vibrations from affecting experiments.
Product Information
Thorlabs offers optical tables with features like athermalized design, minimal deflection under load, and excellent surface flatness.
Recommendations
For optimal performance, minimize isolation system's transmissibility, especially below the first resonant frequency.
Product Specifications and Pricing
Detailed pricing and specifications for optical tables and accessories, including under table shelves and laser port hole accessory kits.
Vibration Isolation Systems
Passive and active systems are detailed, with specifications for resonant frequency and transmissibility.
Rigid Non-Isolating Systems
For environments where vibration isolation is not necessary, Thorlabs offers rigid support systems with high load capacities and adjustable heights.
