These frames provide a compact, portable, and ergonomic workstation solution for optical tables. Each frame includes a removable under table shelf to keep lab equipment off of the floor and provide more space within the lab. Integrated casters with a leveling foot are also provided for easy mobility and placement within the lab. The use of lean bars, available below, helps prevent againt incidental contact and provides comptibility with a number of additional accessories such as monitor mounts, keyboard holders, and shelving.

Support Options

The TF1225A7 contains active supports that deliver our highest level of vibration isolation available, making these frames suitable for applications with sub-micron resolution. The isolators require a constant source of pressurized air, such as that provided by our compressor. In addition, this isolation system will adjust the pressure in each isolator to keep the optical table surface level, even when the distribution of weight on the optical tabletop is changed.

Alternatively, the TF1225R7 has non-isolating rigid supports for applications that do not require sub-micron resolution. These rigid frames do not require a source of pressurized air and they can be upgraded to provide passive isolation using our PWA076 upgrade kit. For more information on the different isolation types, please see the Isolators tab above.

Please note that an optical table equipped with earthquake restraints cannot be used with an optical table frame
