The proper active damping technology enhances stability in manufacturing environments.

James Fisher and Vyacheslav M. Ryaboy, Newport Corp.

Optical tables, along with pneumatic vibration isolators, have numerous applications in research and high-precision manufacturing. In their basic form, optical tables consist of a sandwich structure: two faceplates and a lightweight honeycomb core. Their high stiffness-to-weight ratios are their main advantage. Good isolation from floor vibrations in the 1- to 100-Hz range can be provided by most pneumatic isolated-support systems. However, ambient vibrations from 100 to 500 Hz generated by mechanical equipment — such as motorized stages — on or near the table surface cause the table...Read full article
