Patent for Stationary Vibration Isolation System

Taylor & Edelstein obtains patent for client Integrated Dynamics Engineering for a Vibration Isolation System

This innovative stationary vibration isolation system keeps sensitive equipment, like MRI scanners or semiconductor machines, steady by reducing vibrations. It uses multiple isolators that support the equipment and actively counteract vibrations. Each isolator has its own control unit that processes sensor data and directs actuators to generate stabilizing forces, minimizing the need for complex wiring. The system can work with a central control unit to coordinate isolators or let them operate independently, connected via a simple bus system for efficient communication.

The isolators are versatile, handling vibrations in multiple directions and supporting various equipment without a limit on their number. They can include pneumatic springs that adjust height and reduce vibrations, controlled by the isolator’s unit. The system’s design allows easy setup with just power and a bus connection, making it scalable and adaptable for high-precision tasks where stability is critical. This technology enhances precision and reliability, empowering cutting-edge advancements in healthcare and high-tech industries.
