Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 General Description
Thorlabs rigid nonisolating supports are designed for use in applications which do not warrant vibration isolation, such as an
ultra short pulse laser system. They provide an economical support structure for an optical table under heavy loading and
feature manual levelling adjustment on each support to compensate for uneven floors. Each nonisolating support has an
adjustment pad to level the optical table or adjust the table height over a +15 mm, -8 mm (+0.59", -0.31") range.
A choice of height allows any of the standard Thorlabs table tops to be mounted at a nominal working height of 910mm (36 in.)
above the floor.
