Micro Series

Based on Halcyonics’ proven VarioControl technology, these bench top units offer the convenience of an alphanumeric easy-to-navigate menu. VarioControl units have two 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.

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 performance isolating 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 issues 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.

Applications for the Micro Active Vibration Isolation desktop units include, but are not limited to: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM, SPM), Inverse Microscopy with or without AFM Head, CSLM, Profilometer, Nanoindenter, Nano Hardness Tester, Ultra-precise Scales, Reference Laser Cavities, and many more.

If you are looking for an isolation system for your AFM, please also take a look at the Microscopy Workstation, which consists of a Micro Benchtop isolator integrated into an ergonomic lab desk.
