Optical Breadboard 12 x 24 in., 1/2 in. Thick, 1/4-20 Inch Tapped Holes, Vacuum Compatible, Aluminum
These vacuum compatible aluminum optical breadboards are the perfect low-cost solution when building optical subassemblies that require a vacuum environment. They are 1/4"-20 tapped on a 1" standard optical table breadboard pattern (the first row of holes are 0.5 inches from the edge). They have five counterbored holes, one on each corner inset 1" from the edge and one in the center, which are used with 1/4" socket head cap screws to provide a smooth top surface when mounting the breadboard to a table or adding pedestals as feet. The flatness is specified as 0.006" over 1 ft
2.
These breadboards can be used inside a vacuum chamber system due to the lack of an anodized coating, down to 10
-6 Torr. Ultra-High Vacuum ranges could be reached with additional post-process cleaning by the user. Also, the mounting holes are tapped through the entire thickness of the plate. Negating the need for vented hardware.
