The new enclosure has been designed as a smaller alternative to the Acoustic Enclosure 780. The new acoustic enclosure is ideal for equipment that is sensitive to airborne noise, such as scanning probe microscopes, smaller systems for error identification in semiconductor wafers and other smaller high-resolution measuring instruments. Unlike the acoustic enclosures available so far, the entire front part of the new Halcyonics enclosure can be effortlessly lifted by the gas pressure actuated mechanism. This provides optimal access to the interior of the equipment setup. AFMs, one of the equipment setup options, can thus be easily accessed at an angle from either side.

The new Halcyonics enclosures consists of a multi-layer wall construction for optimal broadband damping of acoustic noise. The walls are inclined at 4° degrees, thereby effectively preventing sound waves from spreading. All specifications apply to measurements performed with an Acoustic Enclosure 780 according to DIN-EN 11546-1; for further details, please refer to the table of specification.
