| Subcontractor | Department of Defense | TMC OPTICAL TABLES & HIGH PEREFORMANCE LAB TABLES
1. BOND STRENGTH: TMC€„¢S HIGH-DENSITY CORE GEOMETRY EFFECTIVELY DOUBLE THE TOTAL SKIN-TO-CORE BONDING AREA, CORRESPONDINGLY INCREASING THE TOTAL BOND STRENGTH. IN ADDITION, UNLIKE SOME COMPETING PRODUCTS, TMC PROVIDES STEEL-TO-STEEL CONTACT AT ALL BOND INTERFACES FOR UNCOMPROMISED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
2. CELL SIZE: TMC€„¢S CELL SIZE OF .49 SQUARE INCHES CONTRIBUTES TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED BONDING AREA AND ALSO REDUCES THE €œDRUM-HEAD€Ͽ½ EFFECT THAT MAY RESULT FROM DESIGNS USING LARGER SPACES BETWEEN THE CORE WALLS.
3. SHEAR STRENGTH: TMC€„¢S CORE, 18 LBS/FT3 HAS A SHEAR STRENGTH OF 275,000 PSI HIGHER THAN ANY COMPETITIVE PRODUCT.
4. TMC€„¢S PROPRIETARY DAMPING METHODS: THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONTROVERSY AMONGST OPTICAL TABLE MANUFACTURERS ABOUT €œFINE-TUNED€Ͽ½ VS. €œBROADBAND€Ͽ½ DAMPING. IN REALITY, THEY BOTH HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES:
A. €œFINE-TUNED€Ͽ½ DAMPING WILL GENERALLY DO A BETTER JOB OF REDUCING THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE 1ST ONE OR TWO RESONANCE MODES OF THE TABLE.
B. €œBROADBAND€Ͽ½ DAMPING WILL GENERALLY PRODUCE A FASTER DECAY OF A VIBRATIONAL OR IMPACT FORCE TO THE TABLE AND WILL NOT REQUIRE THE DAMPING OILS (AND THEIR ASSOCIATED RISKS) COMMONLY USED IN €œFIND-TUNED€Ͽ½ DESIGNS.
TMC MEASURES THEY DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR TABLES, BUILDS IN €œFINE-TUNED€Ͽ½ DAMPING SYSTEMS TO KNOCK DOWN THE PEAKS OF THE MOST CRITICAL RESONANT PEAKS, YET STILL INCLUDES EFFECTIVE BROADBAND DAMPING. ALSO, NO POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATING OILS ARE USED IN THEIR DESIGN.
TMC€„¢S TABLES PROVIDE THE BEST OF BOTH CONCEPTS€¦LOW RESONANT PEAKS (COMPLIANCE) AND THE FASTEST DISSIPATION OF ENERGY ACROSS THE ENTIRE VIBRATIONAL SPECTRUM. WE JUDGE TMC€„¢S DAMPING PROCESSES TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF ANY AVAILABLE.
5. SEALED HOLES: TMC€„¢S SEALING CUPS ARE WELDED AND BONDED TO THE TOP SKIN. THIS
FEATURE WAS INVENTED BY TMC IN 1984 AND PATENTED, FORCING LATER DESIGNS TO HAVE SEVERE HANDICAPS. ONCE COMPETING DESIGN UTILIZES AN EXTRA LAYER OF FORMED PLASTIC BETWEEN THE TOP SKIN AND CORE TO SEAL THE MOUNTING HOLES, REDUCING THE INHERENT STRENGTH OF STEEL-ON-STEEL. OTHERS UTILIZE CHANNELS RUNNING ALONG ENTIRE ROWS OF HOLES REDUCING THE STRENGTH OF THE TABLE EVEN FURTHER. TMC€„¢S CUPS ALSO COMBINE A FULL 1€Ͽ½ OF BOLT CLEARANCE, THE LARGEST IN THE INDUSTRY WITH A TOTAL VOLUME OF ONLY .06 INCHES, THE SMALLEST.
6. SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION: TMC UTILIZES FORMED STEEL FOR THE SIDEWALLS OF ITS TABLES. THESE STRENGTHENING SIDEWALLS (NOT JUST DECORATIVE) ARE HIGHLY DAMPED THROUGH A PROPRIETARY PROCESS TO ELIMINATE ANY POSSIBLE RESONANCE BEHAVIOR.
7. THERMAL PERFORMANCE: THERE ARE TWO MAIN ASPECTS OF THERMAL PERFORMANCE: SIMILAR MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION (FOR EVEN, STRESS FREE THERMAL MOVEMENT) AND MAXIMUM THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE (FOR FASTEST STABILIZATION). OTHER MANUFACTURERS SEVERELY HANDICAP THEIR THERMAL PERFORMANCE BY UTILIZING VASTLY DIFFERENT MATERIALS IN THEIR SIDEWALLS (PRESSED PARTICLE BOARD IN SOME CASES) AND SPECIALLY IN COMPETING SEALED HOLED DESIGN BY BONDING IN A DISSIMILAR LAYER OF PLASTIC THAT ACTS AS A THERMAL INSULATOR BETWEEN THE TOP SKIN AND THE REST OF THE TABLE.
8. TMC PEPS-VX ACTIVE ISOLATION SYSTEM WITH CSP: IS PROTECTED BY US PATENT 5,832,806 AND US PATENT 5,779,010.
HIGH PERFORMANCE LAB TABLES
9. PATENTED GIMBAL PISTON ISOLATORS: PROVEN BY INDEPENDENT TESTS TO PROVIDE CONSISTENTLY BETTER HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ISOLATION ESPECIALLY DOWN TO VERY LOW INPUT LEVELS FREQUENTLY FOUND IN MODERN LABORATORIES.
10. THIN WALLED ROLLING DIAPHRAGMS: AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GIMBAL PISTON ISOLATOR, THE THIN-WALL, DACRON ENFORCED, ROLLING DIAPHRAGM AIR SEALS ARE ONLY 0.020 IN. (0.5MM) THICK AND EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY DO NOT STIFFEN THE €œSPRING€Ͽ½ AS THICK RUBBER DIAPHRAGMS DO.
11. ALUMINUM HEIGHT CONTROL VALVES: ALL SYSTEMS ARE EQUIPPED WITH RUGGED 0000003011 Parent award context Parent award agency: Department of Defense · Department of the Army Parent award NAICS: 541712 Parent award performance state: AL Parent award description: SYSTEM ENGINEERING TECHNICAL AND ASSISTANCE SERVICES (SETAS) SPACE AND CYBERSPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT View parent award on USAspending | GS00Q14OADS614USAspending | $86,573 | Sep 29, 2023 | — – — |
