Vibration Isolation Solutions

The TS-Series:
Tabletop vibration isolation

The TS-Series offers world leading active vibration isolation performance in a compact form factor. Different sizes depending on the customers load and support size requirements are available.                    

The isolation of the TS-Series begins at 0.7Hz, increasing rapidly to 40db beyond 10Hz. The lack of any low frequency resonance means much better performance than with most common passive air damping approaches. The inherent stiffness of the TS systems imparts excellent directional and positional stability. The outstanding performance of the TS-Series includes all six translational and rotational vibration modes. The precise automatic height adjustment mechanism stabilizes the top plate at an optimized working level even after major changes of load. A remote control allows the isolation to be switched  “ON” and “OFF” externally.

  • Models

    TS-C30

    The TS-C30 is the newest addition to the TS table top family and has very unique features. It has an even smaller form factor than the TS-150/LP while offering outstanding active vibration isolation capabilities. It comes at a very affordable price supporting compact measuring equipment.

    TS-150/LP

    TS-150/LP
    This compact state-of-the-art dynamic vibration isolation table achieves better isolation than most other comparable vibration damping systems. Ready-to-use on a plug-and-switch basis, the TS-150/LP now has been setting the standards for an excellent performing and easy-to-handle vibration isolation solution. Mainly used with Atomic Force Microscopy in the lab, the TS-150/LP acts also as carryon luggage to make on-site demonstrations successful even in an unknown or rough environment (e.g. exhibition ground).
    Available also with drilled top plates with holes in metric or non-metric grid.

    TS-140/LP and TS-140+40/LP

    TS-140/LP
    The medium-sized dynamic vibration isolation system is ideally suited for all applications which need more space on the top plate than is achievable with the TS-150/LP. Drilled top plates with holes in metric or non-metric grid allow mounting of various equipment on the isolated table top.

    TS-300/LP and TS-300-LT/LP

    TS-300/LP
    The TS-300/LP is designed as a large area supporting table top damping system. Ideally suited for high sensitive applications which require more than one instrument on a common top plate (e.g. laser + microscope). The TS-300/LP comes in two different versions: TS-300-LT/LP and TS-300/LP. The light version TS-300-LT/LP is well suited to carry loads up to 120 kg and the TS-300/LP up to 300 kg. The TS-300-LT/LP should be used with a stable support frame (available on request).
    Available also with drilled top plates with holes in metric and non-metric grid.
