In this interview, Wes Wigglesworth, the Applications Manager at TMC, talks to AZoM about the importance of active vibration isolation systems in research laboratories. I am currently the Applications ...

This compact, lightweight floor-mount or tabletop system uses active feedback control to provide vibration isolation not possible with standard passive systems. Rapidly adjusting to different loads ...

3D non-contact surface analysis is used extensively across the industry to measure surface irregularities and small displacements – it provides accurate, traceable and repeatable measurements. When ...

Sensitive optical experiments and high-resolution microscopes often need to be mounted on vibration-control platforms to avoid unwanted disturbances to measurements. Neil Savage describes a selection ...

The minuteness of nano-devices makes it necessary to isolate them and their surrounding test equipment from vibration. Unfortunately, the cost of commonly used active vibration isolators can overtax a ...
