Press Release Summary:
With industry standard height of 28 in. and side dimension of 10 in., Stabilizer(TM) I-2000 facilitates OEM integration of vibration isolation tables in space-sensitive applications. Product utilizes laminar flow damping, which employs thousands of tiny orifices, as opposed to single macroscopic orifice. Hybrid chamber design minimizes air volume between piston and damper, while use of trifilar pendulum provides horizontal isolation down to low frequencies.
Original Press Release:
Compact Isolators Simplify OEM Integration of Vibration Isolation Tables
Irvine, California - September 22, 2004 - Newport has introduced a new table support isolator that will simplify the integration of vibration-isolation tables in space-sensitive applications. The I-2000 Stabilizer(TM) features a square cross-section with smaller overall dimensions as compared to previous I-2000 isolators which utilize a circular construction. The new isolator has an industry standard height of 28" (71.1 cm) and has a side dimension of 10" (25.4 cm)
The square I-2000 is targeted at demanding OEM applications including semiconductor test and inspection, various types of inteferometery, and sensitive biological applications such as patch/clamp. It is also available directly to researchers and other end users in applications such as ultrafast laser research, high-resolution microscopy, and optical manipulation.
The square I-2000 Stabilizer is a high-performance, state-of-the-art isolator that provides all the same features and benefits as the existing family of round I-2000 products. A key to the superior performance of these isolators is Newport's exclusive use of laminar flow damping to deliver greater damping efficiency and superior isolation bandwidth. This is accomplished by employing thousands of tiny orifices, as opposed to a single macroscopic orifice. Stability is further enhanced by the I-2000 hybrid chamber design that minimizes the air volume between the piston and the damper. In addition, the use of a trifilar pendulum provides horizontal isolation down to very low frequencies.
