Optical breadboards

Iberoptics is the distributor in Spain and Portugal of the German manufacturer of optical tables and breadboards OPTA GmbH. With OPTA, we can offer a wide variety of optical breadboard of different materials, sizes and features in order to meet the requirements of your application.

In this category you will find small thickness (33 mm) optical breadboards to be placed on top of a normal table, developing your experimental system on it. If preferred, you can add a rigid leg support and turn it into an optical table for the simplest applications. If you are looking for more robust optical table for more demanding applications (anti-vibration ...), please visit  the section of optical tables and supports.

Table with standard OPTA BS 33 optical breadboards

Note that -MAG/-ANTIMAG/-ALU suffix has to be added at the end of the product reference, depending on the type of material needed.

-MAG: magnetic stainless steel 1.4016 (completely magnetic)
-ANTIMAG: antimagnetic stainless steel 1.4301 (residually magnetic)
-ALU: Aluminum (completely antimagnetic)

Material recommendation: we recommend aluminum breadboard when a complete non-magnetic surface is needed. A cheaper solution for non-magnetic applications could be the –ANTIMAG if you do not need a strictly non-magnetic breadboard.

The weight indicated in the description of each optical breadboard corresponds to the –MAG and –ANTIMAG version. –ALU version will be lighter than –MAG/-ANTIMAG.

Height recommendation: with tables of 33 mm thickness and very little weight on top of the plate, we recommend to have the support legs fixed onto the floor or no more than 850-870mm height.

If you need a support system for you non-demanding application, we recommend the rigid support system OGL-LMT support.

With the OGL-LMT support the table top is joint inflexible to the support system. Leveling screws which have a characteristic frequency above 10Hz are installed between table legs and table feet to compensate for unevenness in the laboratory floor.Note that standard working height can be chosen up to 1000mm (no extra charge). For higher tables, an extra charge will be added.
