Laminar Flow Workstation 1CB is designed to provide a clean environment in any laboratory or workshop. Our filtering unit 1CB consists of a HEPA air filter and a steel frame complete with odorless plastic curtains. The vertical aligned flow of filtered air ensures that clean air flows uniformly over the workstation, keeping your samples, or optics in a clean managed environment.
In a laser optics manufacturing, a laser repair or research environment, cleanliness of optical surfaces is imperative. The millions of particles present in most laboratories can fall onto optical surfaces, or they can be carried to optical surfaces by the energy in a laser beam. Once on the surface the lasing beam will burn the particles onto the coating, causing attenuation of the intra cavity energy. In addition the burnt particle will absorb more energy and cause localized heating on the surface of the optic. The localized heating can cause thermal lensing and damage to the optical coating. When adding the 1CB to your optical table you remove the particles and therefore the potential damage to your optics.
