Newport offers a broad range of broadband, tune damped and actively damped Optical Tables and support systems to fit any performance, budget and delivery need. Our extensive capabilities to manufacture custom honeycomb optical tables and expertise in tune damped composite structures provides exceptional stability for laser platforms, optical table systems (doubler systems) and semiconductor tool platforms.
Newport's patented IQ active damping technology used in SmartTable Series is leading next generation developments in laser imaging and microscopy, semiconductor processing and optical research. The RS series tables have been proved to be the best performance among competitions, helping many researchers to achieve remarkable results. We also have RPR series if high level of damping is not needed. Cleanroom and non-magnetic versions are available as well.
Besides table tops, Newport has a full line of optical table systems that includes both table top and supports (isolated or rigid options). The SmartTable OTS Optical Table System incorporates the advantages of upgradeable SmartTables, providing you with high performance, ergonomic design and various accessories including shelves, laser curtains, etc. If critical vibration control is not needed, the new Integrity VCS Vibration Control System will be an ideal choice - combining the performance of our table top with an innovative isolation platform, the system provides high quality at a great price.
Our extensive table offering is also supported with a full offering of vibration isolators, rigid support systems and space saving accessories like various shelves, table enclosures, rail systems and beam routing optics.
