What is an Optical Table?
An optical table is a vibration control platform that is used to support systems used for laser- and optics-related experiments, as well as other precision engineering and manufacturing applications.
Why is Singapore Heavy Engineering making Optical Tables?
To help scientists
To test the limits of internal fabrication capabilities
To strategically strengthen our future
To inspire
"To generate, inspire, and uphold—through science, engineering, and commerce— the strength between human cultures and nature."
-Singapore Heavy Engineering, 2021
This is What Our Customers Have to Say:
"Wow, I didn't know Singapore had an optical table company. I am really impressed by the quality of the optical table. This is my best purchase the year."
"As having bought multiple tables over the years, the quality of this table is a good as any I can find on the market. Excited to build a new setup on it."
Our Process
Fabrication
Components are machined to spec in-house in Singapore using scientific-grade materials sustainably sourced from raw materials and steel mills in Asia.
Assembly
Precision engineering and brute force come together on our production floor.
Finishing
Prior to delivery to the customer, testing and characterization is performed on dimensional tolerances, vibrational response curves, and load-bearing capacities.
Specifications
Breadboard
Sizes: 1200 x 900 mm, 600 x 600 mm, 300 x 300 mm, or can be customized
Thickness: 100 mm, 50 mm, or can be customized
Every breadboard is made in-house (in Singapore), and individually tested, and shipped domestically free of charge
Default 12.5 mm or 25 mm hole border for maximum usable area
The flatness of the top layer is controlled to ±0.1 mm over any 500 x 500 mm area
5 mm stainless steel top layers
All steel construction increases thermal dimensional stability
Legs
Packaged options come with tables for convenient ordering and less deciding
Heavy-duty all-steel construction building on experiences in the shipbuilding industry
Supported by strong leveling castors to carry overweight loads and reduce small parts contacts such as conventional thin leveling rods to improve dimensional stability over varying loads
All support structures are made in-house (in Singapore) and individually tested, and shipped domestically free of charge
