Product details

Paper Conservation Light Table

Product Positioning

The Paper Conservation Light Table is a transmitted-light worktable for paper and cultural heritage conservation. It supports close observation of paper structure, tears, losses, joins and alignment during hands-on treatment.

Product Overview

The illuminated work surface provides even light through paper-based materials so conservators can identify damage, align fragments, trace shapes and carry out infill and mending work with greater visual control.

Its modular configuration can be adapted to the object, treatment workflow, room dimensions and operator requirements in a conservation laboratory.

Conservation Functions

Transmitted-Light Observation

Even illumination supports inspection of fibres, tears, losses, joins, watermarks and other structural details.

Tracing & Alignment

The illuminated surface helps align fragments, overlays, tracings, manuscripts, paintings and calligraphy.

Infill & Mending Work

Clear visibility through the sheet supports positioning of repair tissues, infills and joins during treatment.

Adjustable Illumination

Stepless dimming allows the light level to be adapted to the material and conservation task.

Stable Work Surface

The glass work surface provides a flat, cleanable area for examination and treatment.

Transmitted-Light Conservation Module

Application

Suitable for observation, tracing, alignment, infill, mending and mounting of archives, manuscripts, rare books, paintings, calligraphy and other paper-based cultural heritage.

Structure & Lighting

The light table uses a tempered-glass work surface with UV-printed markings and three-sided millimeter scales. A digital touch controller adjusts LED matrix-panel backlighting; the work surface is adjustable from 0° to 50°. The standard 12 V, 90 W system provides up to 3000 lux at 5500–6400 K.

Procurement & Engineering Boundary

Customization for Confirmed Projects

During pre-sales, Sinoalta can recommend suitable standard models and review whether a non-standard configuration is technically feasible. Project-specific engineering, detailed technical parameters, drawings and non-standard design begin after commercial confirmation and deposit. Extensive engineering or integrated project design may be quoted separately depending on scope.
