TMC 63-500 Anti-Vibration Table

Table

The TMC Anti-Vibration Table For ICSI Procedures

Designed to meet all of your vibration issues. The only anti-vibration table proven in the most exacting and sensitive medical, biotechnical, and industrial environments.

The TMC 63-500 Series high-performance lab tables provide an excellent vibration-free working surface for loads up to 350 lbs (160 kg.). Now with modular construction, these tables are ideal for any IVF procedure or any situation requiring exact vibration-free performance.

Standard Features

Gimbal Piston

Gimbal Piston Isolators

The key element in all TMC vibration isolation tables is the patented Gimbal Piston air isolator. These assemblies have repeatedly proven, in independent tests, to provide outstanding isolation in all directions for even the lowest input levels.

The Gimbal Piston isolator utilizes proprietary pneumatic damping techniques, which include air flow restrictors and a unique geometry.

Relative to typical, low-amplitude ambient floor vibrations, the Gimbal Piston is lightly damped and highly responsive; yet it achieves very high damping for gross transient disturbances, such as sudden load changes or bumping the top plate . The result is that Gimbal Piston isolators provide superior isolation yet will virtually eliminate any gross disturbance within a few seconds.

The Gimbal Piston is also able to stabilize isolated systems with relatively high centers of gravity, and not compromise isolation.

Thin-Wall Rolling Diaphragms

An integral part of the Gimbal Piston, the thin-wall, dacron-reinforced, rolling diaphragm air seals are only 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) thick, and extremely flexible. They do not stiffen the spring as thicker rubber diaphragms do.

All-Brass Height Control Valves

All systems are equipped with rugged all-brass height control valves. Virtually unbreakable, they are finger adjustable with no need for tools. The Standard Model maintains height to ± 0.050 in. (±1 mm); the Precision Model, to ±0.005 in. (±0.1 mm).

Internal Piston Travel Restraint

Unique in the industry, TMC provides husky, tamperproof, built-in piston travel restraints. The restraints are completely independent of the table valves, and have been ram-tested at forces above those produced by the pistons operating at full pressure. They cannot be decoupled accidentally and do not interfere with setting up and using the table, but simply protect against overtravel, without the use of external bars that create hazardous pinch points. Heavy loads, including the top plate, can be safely removed from a table in full operation.

Tiebar Gussets

Exclusive TMC tiebar gussets increase table frame rigidity. They compensate for the elimination of the front tiebar in order to provide kneewell space.

Rugged Built-in Leveling Feet

Table legs include built-in fine-thread 3 in. (75 mm) diameter screw jack levelers with 1/2 in. (13 mm) travel, provision for external adjustment and a handy adjustment wrench. The base is a solid, slightly domed shape to assure solid, wobble-free contact with sloping or irregular floors.

Superior Table Tops

Our standard laminated tops provide an attractive stainless steel ferromagnetic working surface with highly damped, high stiffness construction at low cost. For applications requiring the ultimate stiffness and damping, or mounting holes, specify our patented CleanTop II honeycomb top.

Optional Table Tops

Stainless Steel Laminate

This, our least expensive 63-500 top, is recommended for applications that require a strong magnetic attachment and will not involve repeated exposure of the top to corrosive liquids. However, stains from such liquids can be removed with an industrial strength stainless steel cleaner.

Plastic Laminate on Stainless Steel

Without sacrificing structural performance, this top is an easy-to-clean alternative to stainless steel. A plastic laminate is added to the top surface, which reduces ferromagnetic attachment strength.

CleanTop® II

The CleanTop® II features TMC's patented spillproof, drilled and tapped mounting hole array. Tops are 4 in. (100 mm) thick and have 1/4"20 holes on 1 in. spacing or M6 holes on 25 mm spacing. The small cell-size steel provides even stiffer and better damping than our stainless steel laminate. Guaranteed flat to ±0.005 in. (±0.13 mm).
