Vibration Isolator

Vibration Isolators are systems designed to reduce and control vibrations that affect high-precision tools such as microscopes, metrology instruments, and semiconductor equipment. Even minor vibrations can cause blurry images, inaccurate data, and reduced performance.

By using both Passive and Active technologies from mechanical damping to real-time active compensation Vibration Isolators provide stability, accuracy, and reliability without requiring costly foundation work. They are ideal for laboratories, manufacturing fabs, medical applications, and other industries where precision is critical.

How Do Vibration Isolators Work?

Vibration Isolators are designed to reduce and isolate unwanted vibrations coming from the surrounding environment, such as building movement, air-conditioning systems, nearby machinery, or even foot traffic. The system is engineered with a very low natural frequency, allowing it to remain stable when exposed to higher-frequency vibrations.

When external vibrations occur, the Vibration Isolator absorbs and isolates them instead of resonating, preventing the vibrations from being transmitted to the equipment mounted on top. This helps protect sensitive equipment and ensures more stable and accurate operation.

The core of a Vibration Isolator consists of load-bearing elements, typically springs that support the weight of the equipment. These can be metal springs or pneumatic systems, with pneumatic isolators being especially popular in applications that require high precision and superior vibration control.

Why vibration isolation matters

In laboratories and high-tech industries, instruments like AFM, SEM, TEM, or optical microscopes require extreme stability. However, everyday sources such as building vibrations, air conditioning, or even footsteps can blur images and compromise measurement accuracy.

What is ARISTT?

ARISTT is an Active Vibration Isolation system designed for tabletop instruments.

Unlike conventional passive systems that simply absorb vibrations, ARISTT can sense, analyze, and counteract vibrations in real time with AI-powered control.

Developed in 2007, VAIS-AMT series is Korea's first commercialized tabletop active anti-vibration system. It satisfies IEST's VC-G class of environment for anti-vibration system to accommodate Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), a device especially vulnerable to low-frequency vibration disturbance.

VAIS-AMT also removes resonance phenomenon of passive isolation systems with easier installation and operation procedures. Since the commercialization, VAIS-AMT's excellent capabilities and competitive price have been recognized by worldwide AFM manufacturers and utilized in various nano-measurement instruments.

Compact active isolation system for normal SEM

(Active Vibration Isolator)

The pneumatic passive anti-vibration system, which is widely used to block the vibration applied around the electron microscope's installation site, amplifies the vibration due to the resonance phenomenon in low-frequency region. Even in the case of a normal SEM, which is relatively robust against vibration disturbance, the resonance phenomenon in low-frequency region may affect IEST VC-E Class's vibration environment, the minimum vibration state for optimal operation of an electron microscope.

VAIS-CMT is a full active anti-vibration system incorporating 3 axis-6 degree of freedom control technology to eliminate pneumatic passive vibration isolator's resonance issue.

Since a metal coil spring frame supports it, VAIS-CMT needs no compressed air supplier. The lower height of VAIS-CMT improves inconvenience that the pneumatic passive anti-vibration system causes. With a competitive price, it will be the best anti-vibration solution for normal SEMs.

VAIS-SEi was developed for inspection and measurement instruments in clean room environment. Microscopes for inspection & measurement in clean room are exposed to harsh environment. In usual clean room, The noise level is over 70dB(C) and severe vibration input on floating floor is passed on target instruments.

VAIS-SEi is designed and manufactured by patented technology of AMTEK. Shielding target microscopes from acoustical noise in clean room, VAIS-SEi can provide vibration free environment by AMTEK's active anti-vibration system (VAIS-PB). Partical free environment by patened Fan Filter Unit system with no noise feature and constant temperature maintenance by thermal controller can be secured. VAIS-SEi is core product which is combined with all technologies including anti vibration and noise systems.
