Newport innovated the trussed core design to maximize the table’s rigidity to weight ratio.Damped worksurface eliminates skin resonance
Damped composite edge finish eliminates sidewall resonance
Constrained layer core damping attenuates broadband vibration
Featuring the material workmanship and quality found in all Newport tables, the RPR Seriesmeets many general application needs. The RPR offers the same broadband damping, static rigidity, and thermal stability capabilities as the Tuned Damped Research Optical Tables but at a more modest price.
Newport innovated the trussed core design to maximize the table’s rigidity to weight ratio.
These tables represented the state of the art before the advent of tuned damping found in the RS Series. Indeed, the RPR set the standard that younger companies still imitate. Today they still offer good value for many less stringent applications. The RPR Series tables offer Newport performance and quality at an affordable price.
