Another TMC innovation gives you superior convenience
and economy in acquiring precisely the equipment you need for
supporting optical tables or other large work surfaces. The unique
System 1 design lets you customize basic features and still have
off-the-shelf prices and speedy delivery.
There are six categories of options, and the convenient selection charts help you construct a part number for ordering. Systems can also be easily upgraded whether to convert from a leveling stand to an isolator or add casters whenever its required.
Features
Isolators/Leveling
Posts:
If you need vibration isolation now, the
choice is our Gimbal
Piston™ Isolators, which are unsurpassed in the industry
for vertical and horizontal vibration attenuation especially
as demonstrated at realistic, low levels of input.
If a rigid stand will suffice for the present,
System 1 offers an economical leveling mount option with rugged,
adjustable jack screws that provide +2 1/2 and -0 inches (+62 and
-0 mm) of travel. Later you can upgrade the system to full vibration
isolation performance, with a total cost only slightly more than
if you had opted for this feature originally.

Load Capacities: Depending
on the weight of your table and on-board equipment,
you can select support systems with capacities of 1,400, 4,000,
6,000, 10,000, or 15,000 lbs (600, 2,000, 3,000, 4,500, or 7,000
kg, respectively). Customized systems can be configured from standard
components to support virtually any structure.

Height: Seven post heights
are available as standard: 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 28 and 32 inches
(300, 400, 450, 550, 600, 700 and 800 mm, respectively) though
not all sizes are available in all capacities. Taking into account
the table thickness and height of equipment components, select
the post size that provides the working height you need. Ergonomic
convention would dictate 36" (900 mm) from floor to table
top surface.

Tiebars: For
safety reasons, tiebars are recommended. They are mandatory when
you choose casters or anticipate upgrading to them. If you require
constant access to the area under the table, free-standing support
bases will provide more than adequate stability.
back
Casters: System
1s optional casters are of a rugged, heavy-duty design making
an installed table easily movable when they
are engaged. Once the table is positioned, the casters retract to
establish solid floor contact during equipment operation. Like other
System 1 features, they can be integrated at the outset or purchased
later if you choose to upgrade. Casters retract externally on the
smallest capacity posts, internally on the intermediate and are
not available for the highest capacity. They are not available on
posts less than 18" tall.
back
Configurations. A simple four-post
frame configuration is the most common; however, depending on
the size and shape of the supported structure and on the weight
and position of onboard equipment, another multiple support system
may be preferred. For unusual size tops or if you have any doubt
as to your approach, Contact
TMC.
