Newport offers a broad range of broadband, tune damped and actively damped optical tables and support systems to fit any
performance, budget and delivery need. Our extensive capabilities to manufacture custom honeycomb optical tables and expertise in tune damped composite structures provides exceptional stability for laser platforms, optical table systems (doubler systems) and semiconductor tool platforms. Newport's patented IQ active damping technology used in ST Series SmartTable is also leading next generation developments in laser imaging and microscopy systems, semiconductor processing and optical research. Our extensive table offering is also supported with a full offering of pneumatic isolators, elastomer isolators, rigid support systems and space saving accessories like overhead shelves, laser shelves, table enclosures, rail systems, breadboards and beam routing optics.
