OPTA Optical Tabletops

Light: the fuel of life

OPTA offers four different ranges of tabletops. The following table gives a survey of available types.

Type	Description
HD	Main Core: Steel Honeycomb Top Plate: Magnetic stainless steel, without mounting holes
HDT	Main Core: Steel Honeycomb Top Plate: Magnetic stainless steel, with mounting holes
HS	Main Core: Mineral Filling Material with High Stiffness and Density Top Plate: Magnetic stainless steel, without mounting holes
HST	Main Core: Mineral Filling Material with High Stiffness and Density Top Plate: Magnetic stainless steel, with mounting holes

Optical tables help to provide optimum rigidity and sound damping conditions for a secure, reliable workstation. However, typically it is not possible to optimise both properties at the same time; increased stiffness will result in low damping and vice versa. Recognising this, OPTA tables are now modified to have self-damping properties by which the normally high resonance amplitudes in the higher frequency range for the table type HD/T are almost entirely suppressed.
