The M-SG-34-2-ML by Newport is an advanced Scientific Grade Optical Breadboard specifically engineered to offer exceptional stability and rigidity. This cutting-edge breadboard is designed to provide robust support for a diverse range of research applications. With dimensions of 59 mm thickness, 1200 mm length, and 900 mm width, the M-SG-34-2-ML features metric M6 holes set on a 25 mm grid with 12.5 mm borders. The outstanding flatness of <±0.004 inches over two square feet ensures precise and reliable experimentation. Additionally, the breadboard comes equipped with 19 mm deep sealed holes, each featuring an easy-to-clean polymer cup, enhancing convenience and longevity.
The M-SG-34-2-ML boasts a vertically bonded trussed hexagonal honeycomb structured core, which achieves an impressive rigidity-to-weight ratio. This is achieved through the use of an added steel member that bridges across the center of the honeycomb cell, maximizing the breadboard's strength and stability. Manufactured using a proprietary elastomeric vibration material, the honeycomb core undergoes a meticulous bonding process throughout its height. This unique procedure ensures unparalleled dynamic and static rigidity while also enhancing point load carrying ability. The hexagonal core design significantly increases the surface area available for bonding adjacent cores, surpassing traditional designs and enhancing the strength of the truss structure that bisects the hexagonal core.
The M-SG-34-2-ML offers a broadband damping factor substantially higher than steel, effectively introducing substantial core damping despite the rigid adhesive. To further enhance damping performance, the breadboard's side panels are constructed from an epoxy sealed wood composite known for its high damping characteristics. This design choice reduces structural resonance and optimizes experimental accuracy. In terms of usability and versatility, the M-SG-34-2-ML comes equipped with microlock tie-downs, allowing for easy and secure breadboard mounting onto horizontal or vertical structures, as well as optical tables. The breadboard's sealed mounting holes offer superior reliability and are effortless to clean, ensuring a prolonged lifespan by effectively protecting against dust and liquid ingress.
