Forunusual size tops or if you have anydoubt as to your approach, please call us.The resultTransmissibility * 3For the ultimate in vibration isolation performance, TMC has developed a new, hybrid active/passive two-stageisolation system, STACIS ® iX LaserTable-Base . Though low frequency air isolators provide excellent highfrequency isolation, passive mass-spring-dampers actually amplify vibration at their resonant frequency, typically1 to 3 Hz. LaserTable-Base combines the patented STACIS ® piezoelectric vibration cancellation system achievingalmost 20 dB of isolation at 2 Hz with TMC’s MaxDamp ® Gimbal Piston Isolators to provide unprecedentedoverall vibration isolation performance. LaserTable-Base is ideal for the most demanding, vibration-sensitiveapplications including atomic force microscopy, single molecule biophysics, laser trapping, and interferometry.www.techmfg.com • 978-532-6330 • 800-542-9725 (Toll Free) • Fax: 978-531-8682 • sales@techmfg.com27
