To ensure a clean environment without contamination risk when working on optical tables, laser cabins can be used. These are offered by bc-technology in the company's typical modular design, allowing them to be easily adapted to the specific requirements of the customer. (Source: bc-technology)

The compact laser cabins are qualified according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1 and achieve at least cleanroom class 5 through the principle of turbulence-free displacement airflow over the optical table. In the area around the optical table, at least ISO class 6/7 is achieved, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination by personnel. (Source: bc-technology)
