Accurion active vibration isolation systems

Accurion provides sophisticated vibration reduction systems utilising active vibration isolation — the active compensation of disturbing vibrations by generating a counterforce.

Ever since high-resolution measurements and manufacturing techniques have reached nanometre scales, vibrations have become a major problem. Typical sources of disturbing vibrations can be building and floor vibrations, acoustic vibrations, and motorised equipment and machinery. Effective elimination of disturbing vibrations can thus be the key to precise and repeatable results.

Accurion’s approach is to isolate the application from a vibration source. It is useful for confocal microscopy, digital holography, ellipsometry, fluorescence microscopy, inverted microscopy, Langmuir-Blodgett trough, laser scanning microscopy, nanoindentation, optical 3D measurement, patch clamping, profilometry, Raman microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, spectrometry and tensiometry.

Various products are available, ranging from compact high-performance isolators for small to mid-size applications — such as the i4 series and nano series — to ergonomic laboratory tables with integrated active isolation systems, such as the workstation and IVF series. Acoustic enclosures, heavy load isolation solutions and custom design solutions are also available.
