Location of the table
To ensure optimal operation of the system, it must be installed on a surface
that satisfies certain requirements. The surface must be even.
It is important that an appropriate location for the system is chosen. The
system must be installed in the vicinity of bearing walls or columns, where
the impact of low-frequency oscillation is smaller. Furthermore, it is
advisable to avoid placing the system in the vicinity of other sources of
vibration such as elevators, ventilation systems, industrial equipment, and
airflows.
Warning
The system is a metal-made current conductor. If used together with electrical
devices, the table must be earthed.
Assembly of the system
Safety
Weight of the optical table could reach 100 kg or more. For this reason, to prevent injuries during assembly of the system, lifting mechanisms (a loader) and technological supports must be prepared in advance.
Assembly of the frame
Assembly of the frame is shown in fig. 4.
Attach the brace into the leg assembly by M10x120 screws through the washers.
Screw the solid leveling elements and the passive isolators into the leg
assembly.
Fig. 4. Assembly of the frame
Difference in dimension H between the 4 legs should be ±1mm or less, after fitting the solid leveling elements and the passive isolators into the leg assembly.
Installation of passive isolation components
Warning
Always deflate passive isolators 1TS-AP before lifting optical table.
Place the table accurately on top of the passive air levelling vibration
isolators. If you need to adjust the location of the table, lift the table
over the supports.
Fig. 5. Installation of passive isolation components
Remove the dust caps from the valves of the passive isolators and connect the
foot pump to the valve. Inflate slowly until the isolator will look as shown
in fig. 6. (Incorrect inflations are shown in fig. 7.)
Inflate the passive isolator diagonally opposite.
Repeat these steps for other isolators. Fit the caps on the valves.
Fig. 6. Correct inflation of passive isolation components
| Isolator | ≈A (mm) |
|---|---|
| 1TS-AP-200 | 12 |
| 1TS-AP-500 | 12 |
| 1TS-AP-1000 | 15 |

Management of the system
Main principles
If operated correctly, the passive air levelling vibration isolators need minimum maintenance. As a rule, if the system is left unchecked, the passive isolators will deflate over time. For correct operation, check the distance (fig. 6.) between breadboard and passive isolators every two weeks and reinflate the system as necessary.
Cleaning
The table and other parts of the system may be cleaned using a non-abrasive liquid detergent.
