The new enclosures have been designed as accessories for active workstations 780 and 900. For detailed information on Halcyonics active workstations, please see the data sheet “Active Workstation Series”. The new acoustic enclosure is ideal for equipment that is sensitive to airborne noise, such as scanning probe microscopes, systems for error identification in semiconductor wafers and other 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. Microscopes, one of the equipment setup options, can thus be easily accessed at an angle from either side.

The new Halcyonics enclosure 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. The rated reduction of the sound power level DW,w achieves 33 dB. All these specifications apply to measurements performed according to DIN-EN 11546-1; for further details, please refer to the table of specification.
