In laboratories, precision testing centers, and even some high-end manufacturing workshops, we often encounter the dilemma that although the instrument performance is sufficient, the measurement results are always "slightly worse". Many times, the problem is not with the instrument itself, but with small vibrations from the environment. For small precision equipment such as optical profilometers, atomic force microscopes (AFM), and step meters, even a few micrometers of vibration can cause measurement data to deviate.
At this moment, a small device is usedShock absorber platformIt has become the key to solving the problem. Today, let's talk about how this type of equipment can provide a stable and reliable "foothold" for your precision instruments with excellent silent and shock-absorbing effects.
Many people believe that only large scanning electron microscopes (SEM) or transmission electron microscopes (TEM) require shock absorption. Actually, it's not like that. With the advancement of technology, the measurement accuracy of small devices has reached the nanometer or even sub nanometer level. For example, when a white light interferometric profilometer is used to measure surface roughness, if the platform is slightly shaken, the interference fringes will become blurred, resulting in distorted measurement results.
And the shock absorber platform for small devices is designed to solve this pain point. It is not simply a thick steel plate or rubber pad, but actively or passively eliminates small vibrations from the ground, tabletop, or even air flow through advanced technology, creating a stable environment for the instrument that is isolated from the world. The HERZ series shock absorption system provided by Younikon Technology Co., Ltd. (Yiying Technology) is a professional solution for such needs.
The shock absorbers on the market are mainly divided into passive and active types. Traditional passive shock absorbers rely on materials such as springs or rubber to absorb vibrations, which have a certain effect on high-frequency vibrations, but they are inadequate for low-frequency vibrations such as floor shaking and nearby heavy equipment operation.
Small devices using active technology with shock absorbers can achieve more comprehensive vibration isolation. Taking the HERZ AVI-200 series, represented by Younikon Technology Co., Ltd. (Yiying Technology), as an example, it is a compact active vibration isolation system that is very suitable for integration into small devices. Its core lies in real-time detection of input vibration through sensors and dynamic generation of a reverse force to counteract it. This damping platform has a particularly significant effect in the low-frequency range of 1Hz-200Hz, effectively eliminating low-frequency resonance, which is precisely the frequency range that passive systems find difficult to handle.
To judge whether a shock absorber is excellent, it is not just about feeling, data is more convincing. According to the technical specifications of the HERZ AVI-200 series, it is capable of achieving six degrees of freedom omnidirectional vibration isolation. At frequencies exceeding 10Hz, its transmission rate is below -35dB. What does this mean? Simply put, over 90% of harmful vibrations in the environment can be effectively isolated.
For small device users, the direct benefit of this shock absorber effect is that the measurement repeatability is greatly improved, and the instrument can enter the working state without waiting for a long time to stabilize after being turned on. Especially for instruments such as atomic force microscopes that are highly sensitive to vibration, the use of an active shock absorber stage can significantly improve the clarity and scanning speed of imaging. Many users have provided feedback that the effective working time of the instrument has significantly increased after installation, and rework caused by environmental vibrations has almost been reduced to zero.
In addition to vibration isolation performance, the noise reduction performance of the shock absorber platform itself is also crucial for small equipment placed in laboratories or offices. Traditional air floating shock absorbers require compressed air, which not only emits continuous noise but also relies on a stable air source, making installation and maintenance relatively cumbersome.
In contrast, shock absorbers for active small devices such as HERZ AVI-200 do not require air pressure and work almost completely silently. Its power consumption is also very low, usually around 9W, and it does not generate electromagnetic interference, which neither affects the operation of precision instruments nor causes noise troubles to operators. This "moistening and silent" shock-absorbing effect allows users to focus more on the experiment or testing work itself.
When choosing a shock absorber platform, we need to consider several key factorsSu:
Equipment weight and size: For small devices, compact designs like AVI-200 WORKSTATION are suitable. It is compact in size and can be directly placed on the experimental platform. Its modular design also allows for expansion according to actual load-bearing requirements.
Isolation frequency range: The focus should be on low-frequency isolation capability. Active shock absorbers typically perform well in the frequency range of 1-200Hz, which is the frequency range of most environmental vibrations.
Response time: A good shock absorber can respond to vibrations within a few milliseconds. The response time of the HERZ AVI-200 series is between 5-20 milliseconds, which means that it can compensate almost simultaneously whenever vibration occurs, ensuring a continuous and stable shock absorber effect.
Usability and maintenance: Choose products that are easy to install and do not require frequent calibration. Many active shock absorbers only need to be powered on to work, greatly reducing the threshold for use.
For any laboratory or enterprise that relies on high-precision measurements, investing in a small equipment shock absorber is a highly profitable choice. It can not only directly improve the accuracy and repeatability of data, but also indirectly improve work efficiency and reduce repetitive labor caused by environmental issues.
