Active Isolation Systems

High-Performance Active Isolation Solutions

The DVIA-M Series is an advanced built-in active vibration isolation system for nanoscale imaging instruments such as electron microscopes. These systems achieve an isolation of 99.0% at 10 Hz in six degrees of freedom. The following products suitable for electron microscope applications.​ 

 

Active isolation TMC and Herzan SEM Base

  • DVIA-MB Series: Base Active Vibration Isolation Platform
    DVIA-MB Series has been specifically designed for FIB/SEM/TEM applications. It fits all commercial electron microscopes and is the ultimate active vibration isolation base platform that provides sub-Hertz vibration isolation in six degrees of freedom necessary for producing high-resolution images of biological and non-biological specimens.

Cost-Effective Active Isolation Solutions

Active isolation TMC STACIS SEM Base and Herzan AVI series SEM Base

DVIA-U Series are low-profile modular active isolation systems, designed for SEM and nanoscale metrology tools with linear stages.

They do not require air supply to operate the system and can be directly installed beneath equipment of various sizes and shapes without lifting the instrument. Strong metal springs in the isolator units support heavy payloads and also provide passive vibration isolation in high frequency range.

The DVIA-UB active vibration isolation base platform is designed to isolate Scanning Electron Microscopes from floor vibrations in the most cost-effective way. The DVIA-UD is an active isolation workstation suitable for heavy instruments mounted on desks.

On-site tuning service

Every installation site has different vibration levels, indicating that every installation site requires different tuning. Therefore, we offer on-site tuning to utilise the feed-back and feed-forward control systems effectively, which are critical factors in controlling vibrations. Without on-site tuning, the active isolation systems cannot deliver the 100% isolation performance.

 

Pneumatic Isolation Systems

EM Base and Cradle Platforms

The DVIP Series consist of custom-made low-profile vibration isolation bases and cradle platforms designed to isolate tall, large, and heavy precision equipment such as SEM and TEM instruments from floor vibrations. The DVIP-C cradle platform is specifically designed for instruments with a high centre of gravity. 

Pneumatic Isolators for Dynamic Stage Operations

 

The DVIM Series of pneumatic vibration isolators are designed for ultra-precision tools with motorised linear stages such as Electron Beam Lithography instruments.

 

They have high-precision automatic levelling valves to keep the payload steady during dynamic stage motion. The pneumatic isolators provide significant damping, fast settling time, and exceptional vibration isolation performance, ensuring high system throughput and ultra-precise, repeatable operations. 

SEM and FIB Environmental Enclosures

  • DAE Series: Tabletop Acoustic Enclosures
    Provides outstanding acoustic isolation for ultra-sensitive electron microscopes. 
  • DSE Series: EM Acoustic Enclosures
    Provides an optimal environment where acoustic noise cannot be transmitted to the microscope. ​Also comes with a cooling system to reduce heating inside.

Please see other accessories and enclosures for application requirements.
