Thorlabs’ Nexus® optical table kits feature our Nexus optical tabletops and our active isolation table legs. Kits are available with table sizes from 4′ x 6′ (1.2 m x 2 m) to 4.8′ x 10′ (1.5 m x 3 m) and table thicknesses of 210 mm (8.3″) or 310 mm (12.2″). They are paired with 600 mm (23.6″) or 700 mm (27.5″) tall legs for a standard 910 mm (35.8″) tabletop height.
Tabletop
Nexus tabletops feature all-steel construction, excellent thermal stability, and broadband damping optimized for each table size. The 5 mm thick stainless steel top and bottom skins have a matte finish and the top skin is precision-machined with a surface flatness of ±0.1 mm over any 1 m2 area. The table has 1/4″-20 (M6) mounting holes on 1″ (25 mm) centers with a 0.5″ (12.5 mm) border at the edge of the table. Optional sealed mounting holes are available.
Support Legs
Thorlabs’ active vibration isolation optical table supports contain an isolation system that effectively isolates the optical table from vertical and horizontal vibrations throughout the critical 3 to 50 Hz frequency range since most common large-amplitude sources of vibrations found in laboratories vibrate within this range of frequencies. The vertical vibrations are isolated from the optical table by a dual-chamber pneumatic isolation system that requires a constant source of compressed air, such as an air compressor (sold separately). If the source of compressed air is removed, the optical table will lower until it securely rests on the large-diameter cylindrical optical table supports, albeit the table will no longer be isolated from floor vibrations. For all table kits sold on this page, kits ending with HK and CK are paired with our PTS603 700 mm (27.5″) tall legs, and kits ending with WK and QK are sold with our PTS602 600 mm (23.6″) tall legs.
Please note: We also offer earthquake restraints for lab safety in earthquake zones. All tables require modification to accept earthquake restraints prior to shipment. Please contact Tech Support to order an optical table equipped with the necessary alterations. Tables, once they are manufactured and shipped, cannot be retrofitted to accept earthquake restraints.
