Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, there are no specific solutions on the market for lifting optical breadboards or similar platforms, with or without vibration isolation
The user could use a "universal" height-adjustable table / platform / column to perform the same task, however, unless vibration isolation is used in addition to the "universal" height-adjustable solution, there is likely no vibration measures
Also, most "general purpose" height adjustable benches / platforms may not have the required stiffness for a research lab or industrial application, and they may not have sufficient load capacity

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a driven height adjustable optical table or workstation and an assembly thereof for use in microscopes, optical research laboratories, and similar environments. The height-adjustable design comprises a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part and the movable part are combined together to form a rigid height-adjustable tabletop structure, and an optical test plate or a similar platform is mounted on the worktable structure through an optional rigid passive or active vibration isolation mounting part. The height adjustment is performed by a plurality of compact actuators with associated control hardware and software and allows a user or application system to operate the table at any height.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to laboratory tables, benches and workstations, and more particularly to actuated height-adjustable optical benches with optional vibration isolation systems. Such vibration isolation systems can be rigid, passive, or active, and can be actuated pneumatically, electronically, hydraulically, or by other means. Background technique [0002] Optical benches or workstations are often used to mount microscope equipment, optics, accessories, or similar equipment for research laboratories or industrial applications. Existing optical benches or workstations have a fixed height. For example, Thorlabs ScienceDesk is currently available in two fixed-height versions. However, due to the different characteristics of the use (equipment) and the user (ergonomics), the requirements for the height of the table for installing the equipment are extensive. For example, Figure 1A shows a situation where the user is sitting in front of a wo...
