Optical Breadboards
Breadboards may be purchased individually, paired with our Series 1206 Isolation Mounts, or specified as part of a Vibration Isolation Workstation.
5700 Series High Static Stiffness Breadboards
The 5700 Series VIBRALITE HC optical breadboards are similar in design to our optical tabletops. They feature a lightweight precision formed steel honeycomb construction (for 4″ thick breadboards) or our patented VIBRALITE extruded aluminum core (2″ thick breadboards). Just like our optical tables, all 5700 Series breadboards now feature 3/16″ ferromagnetic stainless steel top AND bottom skins.
C-Series Vibradamped Composite-Core Tabletops
The C-Series features a two-layer Vibradamped wood composite construction and 3/16″ ferromagnetic top AND bottom skins. An economical choice when the application doesn’t call for tapped holes. C-Series tabletops may be purchased individually, matched with a set of 1206 Series Vibration Isolation Mounts , or specified as part of a 9100 Series Workstation.
Available with unlaminated stainless steel top, white or black standard plastic laminate, or white or black anti-static laminate. Custom colors and sizes are available – contact us to discuss your unique application.
5800-Series Ultralight Steel Breadboards
The lightweight 5800-Series features the same precision formed internal construction as our 5700 Series (honeycomb for for 4″ thick breadboards and our patented VIBRALITE extruded aluminum core for 2″ thick breadboards) but with thinner 1/8″ top and bottom skins for reduced weight. Just like our optical tables and 5700 Series breadboards, all 5800 Series Breadboards now feature ferromagnetic stainless steel top AND bottom skins.
5500-Series VIBRALITE AL Breadboards
For small-scale applications that require excellent rigidity, our VIBRALITE AL Series 5500 offers a very lightweight design. It features all-black anodized aluminum construction, is nonmagnetic, and is supplied with our patented SPILLPRUF sealed mounting holes.
Features:
- Lightweight, non-magnetic design
- High natural frequency
- 1″ or 2″ Thickness
- 3/16″ Black anodized aluminum top and bottom skin
- Extruded structural aluminum core
- Flatness: +/- 0.004″ over 24″x24″
- SPILLPRUF mounting holes in either English (1/4-20″x1″) or Metric (M6x25mm)
- MaxxAlign hole pattern available
7000-Series Aluminum Mounting Plates
Our Series 7000 Aluminum Mounting Plates are an economical choice for noncritical applications or where a higher-performance damped breadboard is not required. Series 7000 Mounting Plates are 0.5″ thick and available in sizes up to 2′ by 4′.
Features:
- Black anodized finish
- Flatness: +/- 0.030″ over 24″x24″
- Tapped mounting holes in either English (1/4-20″x1″) or Metric (M6x25mm)
- Custom sizes and shapes
- MaxxAlign hole pattern available
S-Series Vibradamped Steel Tabletops
The S-Series features a 1″-thick solid steel plate with a special 16-gage stainless steel sheet adhered to the underside for improved damping. Finished on top with stainless steel or white or black plastic laminate. An ideal choice for applications where high inertial mass may enhance vibration control. S-Series tabletops may be purchased individually, matched with a set of 1206 Series Vibration Isolation Mounts , or specified as part of a 1200 Series Workstation.
Custom colors, shapes, and sizes are available – contact us to discuss your unique application.
