The Nova is a TOP massage table.
It is a portable table with the stability of a stationary table.
Because of the long option list you can completely personalize this
table to your wishes.
In fact there only has to be one 1 table in the whole world: the Nova.
A great number of (patented) engineering gadgets have been implemented
on this table to give it optimal strength, durability and user
friendlyness:
Details make the difference!!!
SlideLock™ construction
Oakworks® patented, engineered and thoroughly tested SlideLockTM
offers the ultimate strength, stability and durability at all height
settings.
Providing a level of stability and stiffness unparalleled by CableLock
tables its slides are made of solid steel with a tough powder-coated
finish.
Cables don't get caught or tangled and your table opens smoothly and
easily every time with that satisfying SlideLock™ click.
InterLock™ leg extensions
Our Inter-Lock™ leg extensions have a unique integrated surface-to-surface
design which ensures truly reliable strength and durability at all height
settings.
You'll notice the extra groove-on-groove, wood-on-wood contact.
Compare it to any other portable table leg extension.
The cross sectional area of our leg extension is greater than any other
table on the market.
Taken together, these factors make our legs three times stronger and less
susceptible to failure.
Since leg extensions are the most vulnerable part of any portable table,
stronger leg extensions mean a stronger, more durable, more reliable table.
Crack-proof nylon leg blocks
Unlike wooden leg blocks, Oakworks®' nylon blocks are specially
engineered to be indestructible, long-wearing and unsplittable for
unsurpassed strength, safety and durability.
We switched to nylon corner blocks because wooden ones, especially
those made from softer woods like poplar, are prone to split under
stress and over time will loosen their hold on the table legs.
A split leg block can mean catastrophic table failure.
A loose joint means a wobbly table.
Nylon corner blocks won't split and don't wear the way wooden ones do.
Our specially designed molds mean consistent accuracy and reliable
strength and stiffness for every table we build.
And using nylon instead of plastic means real toughness and long-wearing
dependability.
Integra-hinge™
This ingenious, patented design reinforces the table to support the kind
of heavy loading that no piano hinge can match and with less weight.
The truth is that the Integra-hingeTM is far superior to a piano hinge,
in strength, stability, safety and durability.
Here's why: The Integra-hinge™ requires fewer holes drilled into the
framework of the table.
This means a stronger frame, without those vulnerabilities to cracking.
In addition, the Integra-hinge™ incorporates the table braces as part
of the hinge itself.
This means that the very weight of the table and the client serve to
strengthen the ability of the hinge to do its job.
An Integra-hinge™ will perform its function even if all the screws are
removed.
Integrated Ribs w/ Laser-aligned Frame
Adding strength and stiffness, wooden struts run the length of both
table halves and are interlocked into the frame rails, not just butted
up against them. They are then glued and brad nailed into position.
When the table top is attached to the frame, a laser-guided alignment
system is employed to assure absolute precision accuracy.
This is why Oakworks® Nova is rated to a dynamic load of 450 lbs.-
rigorously tested to your specific standards for the kind of safety and
reliability you can build a strong career on.
Finger-jointed frame corners
All Oakworks® portable tables boast durable wood frames with precision finger-jointed corners, glued and bradded, to ensure maximum strength and frame integrity - real added strength and stability through exacting geometry and fine joinery.
6 mm End panels
For our strongest wooden table we provide a 1/4" Appleply, end panel ,
with hard maple faces, for maximum stability, stiffness and strength,
glue bonded and attached with a minimum of 8 screws.
The strength of the end panel is what keeps the table from twisting
and rocking under heavy loads. It may seem like a small thing, but it
has a very big responsibility.
And to give it that special Oakworks® premium quality classic touch,
the hard maple faces match the wood in the legs and we've added our
Oakworks® logo and the Nova name, laser engraved to be as beautiful
15 years from now as it is today - no rubbing off ,no chipping or
wearing out.
Single-knob height adjustment
Our distinctive wooden knobs proudly bear the Oakworks Logo, while
firmly holding the leg extensions in place.
Resistant to oil and dirt, they allow for quick and easy adjustability
with a rubber grip around the outside edge to help keep oily hands from
slipping.
Though some manufacturers are of the opinion that two knobs are better
than one, therapists have found that two knobs on a leg extension mean
twice as much time and trouble.
In addition, engineers have determined that two knobs do not increase
leg extension strength; that in fact, the increased numbers of holes two
knobs require, can weaken leg extension strength and even increase the
likelihood of table failure.
UniLock™ closure system
Patented, easy-to-use closure system that won't break, rust or rattle
because it's constructed from engineered plastics, cycle tested to ensure
security and durability.
The safety design and low profile prevent scrapes and bruises and, even
when used with the Shiatsu option, rotates flush with the frame edge to
prevent marred floors.
Practically invisible and amazingly simple, you can open your table with
just the push of a single button.
Yet it holds securely and stays out of your way.
The simplest operation ever: just push the table halves together and the
table is locked.
You save time, effort and you barely even have to bend down.
