Comparing Active Vibration Isolator Technologies: Sensors, Actuators, and Control Systems
In precision manufacturing, semiconductor processing, and scientific research, even the smallest vibration can compromise results. As production accuracy pushes toward the nanometer scale, controlling these disturbances becomes critical. That’s why active vibration isolators have become a cornerstone technology for laboratories, automation systems, and cleanroom environments.But not all isolators are created equal. Beneath their sleek exteriors lie complex systems composed of sensors, actuators, and control algorithms working in unison to detect, analyze, and counteract unwanted movement. Each of these components influences performance in a unique way.This article dives deep into the core technologies behind active vibration isolators, comparing their sensor types, actuation mechanisms, an...
