Features

Top Performance Self-centered Long-stroke Vibration Isolators

The vibration isolation in Vision IsoStation Plus workstation is provided Newport’s high-performance I-325LS series pneumatic isolators that incorporate hybrid chamber designs, laminar flow damping, and horizontal pendulum isolation to provide quiet and stable isolation. The isolators are self-centered with a long stroke, making the floating process much easier. They provide 1,300 lb gross load capacity and reduce transmitted vertical and horizontal vibrations by 85% or more after 5Hz and by more than 95% after 10Hz. Non-isolated versions are also available and can be field upgraded to provide isolated performance in the future.

Ergonomic Frame with Innovative Platform Interface

The frame of the Vision IsoStation Plus workstation is ergonomically designed with a raised front brace to provide enough legroom for seated users allowing more comfortable examinations, operations, and experiments. It also features a unique platform interface consisting of 4 corner constraints that act as a docking surface, an accessory mount, and a restraint to keep the breadboard atop the frame. The integrated float height indicators and frame bubble levels make set-up and installation easier than ever. These features are also useful when the system is relocated to another lab or if system performance needs to be verified.

Honeycomb Core Optical Breadboard

The Vision IsoStation Plus workstations are available in multiple breadboard sizes from 30”x30” up to 36”x72” to accommodate the widest range of applications from small bio-instrumentation isolation up to medium size optical investigations that may have previously required a full-sized optical table. Two standard worksurface thicknesses are available. A 2” thick breadboard provides a 34" working height and a 4” thick breadboard provides a 36" working height. Custom work surfaces are also available including special materials, thru holes, and custom shapes to provide OEM and multi-user facilities with a more customized solution.

Shipped Fully Assembled for Easy Installation

The Vision IsoStation Plus workstation is completely pre-assembled and shipped in a special shipping package that not only reduces packaging materials but also allows users to simply roll their system off into their lab. Raise the leveling feet and let workstation rest on the casters, it is all set to go! Since the breadboard is shipped pre-installed on the frame customers no longer need to lift the heavy breadboard during installation.

A Variety of Accessories

The Vision IsoStation Plus series offers a variety of accessories designed specifically for modern scientific and biological investigations to improve ease of installation while minimizing lab space requirements. These accessories feature a quality design and ease of use features. From monitor holders to faraday cages to a wide variety of shelf systems, we have the accessories needed to customize your optical workstation.
