CleanTop II

   Double the number of tapped holes


TMC introduces the latest in our long history of innovations to the Optical Table Industry. By combining our existing uniquely small honeycomb cell size (0.50 inch2) with our patented CleanTop® II individual sealed hole technology, we are now able to offer twice the number of tapped holes. Because we use our existing honeycomb core design, which is twice the cell density as our nearest competitor, there are absolutely no changes to any performance specifications. No alterations to the core design were necessary to accommodate the additional CleanTop® II cups. TMC now offers the highest honeycomb core-density and smallest cell area in the industry with our unique, double-density tapped hole array.

  Benefits

  • Allows more precise location of positioning equipment
  • Translation stages require less travel
  • Compatible with existing  1/4-20 on 1 in. and M6 on 25mm patterns

CleanTop II

TMC offers a comprehensive line of options and accessories to help you obtain maximum utility from TMC optical tables, breadboards, and supports. We also provide unequaled expertise and fast turnaround in designing and building custom configurations to your specifications. Requirements for joined tables, tables made of special materials, and for custom through-hole patterns and ports are readily accommodated.

CleanTop® II


Rounded Corners

CleanTop® II Tables now include user-friendly rounded corners as a standard feature. We laser-cut a generous, one-inch radius at each corner of the table. Conventional table construction produces a 90° bend which is subsequently “dulled” by grinding or filing. Though dull, this right angle often leads to painful hip bruises for those logging long hours in the lab. The rounded corner feature eliminates this inconvenience. If required, conventional square
corners are available at no extra charge.

Alpha-Numeric Grid

A handy option to ease replicating an optical setup is our Alpha-Numeric Grid pattern. By electro-chemically etching a coordinate pattern on the top surface, each tapped hole has an address. This is also helpful in documenting a setup for OEM applications.

How to Order: Alpha-Numeric Grid

To Specify the Alpha-Numeric Grid, add the suffix G to the TMC model number

                        (for instance, 78-455-02GR)

CleanTop II
OverHead Shelf Overhead Shelf

An ideal storage rack for equipment and instrumentation used in conjunction with an optical table. Spanning the long axis of the table, the overhead shelf is adjustable in height and free standing, so vibration isolation will not be compromised. It includes a UL-approved electrical strip with two eight-grounded outlet strips in the 6-ft shelf and four eight-grounded outlets in the 8- and 10-ft shelves. (125 V, 60 Hz, 15 A). Optional accessories include a second tier shelf or a hanging monitor shelf. Each shelf includes two rows of holes on a 2 in. (50 mm) spacing to facilitate mounting of fixtures

Built to the same rugged standards you’ve come to expect from TMC, the structure is formed steel with a non-resonant design, black powder coat finish and leveling feet for uneven floors. Capacity is 500 lbs (225 kg).

For custom requirements such as non-U.S. format outlet strips, contact TMC
