Grid markings are included as a standard feature on all Newport tables
40 years ago, a group of engineers and scientists began building vibration control solutions for the emerging optics and photonics industry. Through the years, Newport’s vibration control solutions have helped scientists and engineers develop revolutionary products and foster amazing discoveries. Today, Newport is the recognized leader in vibration control and our commitment to our customers is stronger than ever.
To celebrate our 40th anniversary we are offering a limited quantity of special edition optical tables that pay tribute to our heritage and collaborative achievements in laser research and aerospace. The limited edition tables are available in our RS4000 and RS2000 Series optical table line with your choice of moonwalk, crystal or spectrum edge finish. RS4000 series tables are available in moonwalk or crystal edge finish. RS2000 Series optical tables are available in crystal or prism edge finish. The limited edition tables are available in 4’(1.2m) x 6’(1.8m), 4’(1.2m) x 8’(2.4m) and 4’(1.2m) x 10’(3.0m) in both 8” (203mm) and 12”(305mm) thicknesses.
