Versatile breadboards from Kinetic Systems provide a flat, stable surface for a variety of applications, including mounting or assembling lasers, small optical systems, prototyping and precise inspections. These breadboards also exhibit high natural frequency, nominal broadband damping, a flatness of .004” over a 24” by 24” area and standard removable elastomeric iso feet. Epoxy-laminated under pressure with the top skin against a master tool plate, all models offer SPILLPRUF™ tapped mounting holes (1/4-20 or M6 thread), which are sealed off in rows to channel liquids away from the core and simplify cleanup. Moreover, optional Level-Lok™ tiedowns can fasten a breadboard to another surface. The company also offers nonisolated legstands for breadboards ranging in width from 30” to 48” and in length from 36” to 72”. With capacities up to 800 lbs., these legs are made of 18-gauge steel tubes and can be telescopically adjusted for work-surface heights from 30” to 37”. Custom sizes and cutouts are available in addition to the standard 4 standard configurations. Individually:
The Lightweight Series 5500 VIBRALITE AL nonmagnetic breadboards use a structural core of extruded aluminum with 3/16” anodized aluminum top and bottom skins. The company says they are ideal for small-scale applications that require rigidity and are available 1” or 2” thick in a variety of sizes up to 24” by 48”.The Economical Series 5600 VIBRALITE SS ferromagnetic breadboards use a structural core of extruded aluminum with 1/8” stainless steel skins. They can come 1” or 2” thick in a variety of sizes up to 48” by 96”.The Honeycomb Core Series 5700 VIBRALITE HC breadboards are constructed using corrosion-resistant, plated-steel, hexagonal cell honeycomb with a 3/16” ferromagnetic stainless steel top skin and a bottom skin of 3/16” low-carbon steel with a polyurethane finish. The Series 5700 provides high static stiffness and is available 2” or 4” thick in a variety of sizes up to 48” by 96”.The General Purpose Series 5800 VIBRALITE HCL honeycomb-core breadboards have slightly thinner skins—at 1/8”—than the Series 5700 but are otherwise identical. They can come 2” or 4” thick in a variety of sizes up to 48” by 96”.ADVERTISEMENT
