PEABODY,
Massachusetts, July 23, 2003 – Technical
Manufacturing Corporation (TMC) has introduced the TableTop™ A-P, a lightweight,
modular vibration isolation system that combines exceptional low-frequency
passive isolation with an optional Q-Damp™ active damping
module. Its compact design (less than 50
pounds) is portable, and its passive vibration
isolation is comparable to TMC's full-size
industry standard 63-500 Series high-performance lab table.
"The TableTop A-P offers the best vibration
isolation solution when sensitive work is performed, such as scanning
probe microscopy, bench-top metrology or interferometry, in a noisy,
less than optimal work area," said Steve Ryan, TMC vice president,
marketing. "It is easily upgradeable to active damping, requiring
10 minutes and a screwdriver." The Q-Damp active damping module
significantly improves the performance of the passive system by
canceling the resonant amplification of the A-P's air isolator.
The patented TableTop A-P Active-Passive High-Performance
Isolation System is compatible with TMC's BenchTop Faraday Cage.
The newly designed, 40-inch-tall cage includes a baseplate of reinforced
stainless steel that supports the compact A-P. The cage also features
a "window-shade" type retracting panel and 2-inch diameter
holes for cable passage.
TMC is a unique blend of dual core capabilities – unparalleled
expertise in precision floor vibration control and a commitment
to manufacturing using advanced precision metal fabrication techniques.
The ISO-certified company’s industry-standard product line
includes STACIS® piezoelectric active vibration isolation systems;
Electro-Damp® pneumatic/linear motor-based active vibration
isolation systems; CleanTop® II optical tables and breadboards;
Gimbal Piston™ pneumatic vibration isolation systems; Quiet
Island® sub-floor platforms for cleanroom raised floors; state-of-the-art
active isolators; laboratory tables; and OEM isolator designs and
acoustic enclosures. Standard and custom configurations plus a broad
array of accessories are available.
