Based on Halcyonics’ proven VarioControl technology, the new benchtop units now offer the convenience of a digital easy-to-navigate menu. VarioControl units offer two digital displays; one for menu navigation and a second to obtain additional information on current vibration levels. Vibration signals of sensors and actuators can be chosen and visualized as graphical bars. The user therefore always obtains summarized information on the current vibration condition of the application. Halcyonics Micro systems feature an automated transport locking mode and fully automatic load adjustment; they take only a few seconds to start up. There is no further adjusting or tuning required. Thus, the Micro systems offer ideal portability even for field measurements and presentations.

Micro 40, 60 and 80 – high-performance benchtop isolators

Thanks to Halcyonics VarioControl technology, active vibration isolation takes effect right at 0.6 Hz and considerably increases from this frequency upward. Above 10 Hz, Halcyonics Micro systems achieve an isolation of 40 dB – that means that 99.0% of the vibration is effectively isolated. In addition to their high isolation from floor vibration through AVI (active vibration isolation), A major advantage of active Halcyonics systems is that they do not have any natural low-frequency resonance, which is responsible for problems encountered with passive vibration isolation systems in low-frequency ranges below 5 Hz. Micro systems isolate vertical and horizontal vibration as well as vibration generated around the vertical axis of rotation as well as both horizontal axes of inclination. The degree of freedom of the active isolation system is thus six.
