Vibration Isolation in an Ergonomic Package


Irvine, California - Melles Griot Introduces ScienceDesk(TM), a line of workstations that integrate optical breadboards, vibration isolators, and modular accessories into an elegant, ergonomic system

ScienceDesk, designed with user comfort in mind, provides the essential performance features demanded by industry - active or passive vibration isolation, load capacities to 900 lb. (540 kg), work-surface sizes from 2.5 x 2.5 ft. to 3 x 4 ft., electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and modular accessories including overhead shelves, wrist rests, and keyboard holders. Passive vibration-isolation systems eliminate floor vibrations from 10 to 50 Hz; active vibration-isolation systems eliminate floor vibrations from 1.5 to 50 Hz. All frames are constructed with lightweight aluminum extrusions and include height-adjustable feet and heavy-duty locking casters.

ScienceDesk stands out from conventional workstations because of its mounting features and modular accessories. Mounting holes throughout the entire frame allow users to easily configure shelves and posts to satisfy their safety and ergonomic needs, which results in higher workplace efficiency. ScienceDesk is ideal for vibration-sensitive applications in confocal microscopy, fiber optic alignment, metrology, and wherever high performance and an ergonomic environment are required.
