Solid Aluminum Breadboards

Solid aluminum optical breadboard plates provide a cost effective, non-magnetic solid surface with a grid of 1/4-20 or M6 tapped holes for building optical assemblies, small sub-systems, and small optical experiments. These solid breadboards have a matt black anodized surface that reduces unwanted reflections compared to honeycomb breadboards that use a stainless steel top skin working surface. Four counterbored through holes in the breadboard corners allow for easy mounting to an optical table or isolator.

Honeycomb Optical Breadboards

Honeycomb core optical breadboards are high performance bread boards designed for demanding applications. Our honeycomb core is different than our competitors. Each piece of the corrugated honeycomb steel sheet is emerged in proprietary elastomeric vibration absorbing materials and bonded vertically throughout the height of the optical breadboard or optical table, creating a much stiffer honeycomb core structure. This labor intensive procedure makes sure that Newport's optical breadboards are the most robust.
