Optical Bench Full Shaper 1 Meter

Product Code : SCL-LAO-12085

Optical Bench Full Shaper 1 Meter (SKU SCL-LAO-12085) is a dual-rod optical bench with a 1000 mm track, millimetre scales engraved on both stainless steel rails and four riders that each carry a transverse adjustment knob. It serves undergraduate optics practicals that need lenses and screens centred on one axis. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the bench at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it factory-direct to colleges, schools and dealers.

Specifications

Each specification of the full-shaper bench appears as a separate row below. In short, two parallel stainless steel rods 1 m long sit on cast-iron levelling feet, both rails carry a 1 mm scale, and the riders take 10 mm stems and shift sideways in 0.1 mm steps.

Applications and Experiments for the Full Shaper Optical Bench

The bench holds a source, lenses, mirrors and a screen on one measured axis so students can find image positions and read distances from either rail. As optics lab equipment for colleges and senior schools, it suits focal-length and diffraction work in B.Sc. and Class 11–12 practicals.

• Class 12 and B.Sc. physics: measuring the focal length of a lens such as the Convex Lens 50mm using the thin lens equation and the no-parallax method.
• Locating image planes with an Optics Experiment Parallax Pin mounted in a rider collar.
• Focal lengths of multi-element lens systems.
• Diffraction, interference, beam-divergence and polarisation studies with a light source such as the Parallel Beam Light Source, which has a 10 mm mounting tap.

Standard Scope of Supply

The set contains the 1 m dual-rod assembly, two cast-iron levelling feet, four metal riders with transverse knobs, two adjustable lens holder mounts, a ground-glass screen with alignment guides, an object needle assembly and an instructor manual. Light sources and lasers are quoted separately.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotations can cover one bench for a demonstration table or a set for every group in an optics laboratory. Science Lab Supplies lists the packing method, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and lenses or a light source can be added.

Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a full-shaper bench?
Both parallel rails carry an engraved millimetre scale, and all four riders have transverse micro-screw adjustment. A half-type bench such as the Half-Frame Optics Bench has its scale on a single rail and lateral adjustment on two of its four riders.

Will components from other benches fit the riders?
Yes, if their stems are 10 mm in diameter. Every rider has a 10 mm collar mount, so lens holders, screens, needles and light sources with 10 mm stems clamp straight onto the bench.

How fine is the sideways adjustment?
The transverse knobs move a mounted component across the bench in 0.1 mm steps read on a vernier dial, so students can centre lenses and screens on the optical axis.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. This bench is assembled in the company's Saha, Ambala workshop, so the price, packing and delivery terms on your quotation are set by the maker itself rather than a reseller.
