Newport has released a range of accessories for the Smarttable OTS optical table system, including additional shelving options and support rails that improve safety, ergonomics and space efficiency.
All of these accessories attach directly to the Smarttable OTS frame to improve overall system mobility.
The new shelving products improve lab-space utilisation, organisation and safety.
They provide an efficient and economical option that expands storage space and allows researchers to remove non-essential items from their table.
This increases useable work-surface space and eliminates potential noise sources, such as cooling fans, from disturbing sensitive experiments.
Another useful accessory, the 'hip bar', allows users to lean into their experiment to adjust table components without causing excessive motion to the entire table, functioning as a bumper guard for the vibration-isolated table.
Newport will debut additional accessories at Cleo, from 2-4 June 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Among these is a new laser safety-curtain accessory that demonstrates the flexibility of the Smarttable OTS system.
The prototype OTS-LSC system attaches directly to the OTS frame structure via the overhead shelf-supports to provide an integrated, laser safe, optical table system that can be easily relocated or repositioned.
These accessories make the Smarttable suitable for applications such as microscopy, holography and laser electro-optic studies.
