VIBRATION ISOLATION PRODUCTS - Professional microscope antivibration tables
Creating the best environment for microscopy
Overview
Vibrations limit the performance of sensitive instruments in numerous applications. Thus the need to remove vibrations to optimise performance has become crucial. We have spent many years developing state-of-the-art workstations and platforms, which provide the user with a truly vibration free surface on which the user can place equipment. Our products are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to support instruments of varying weights and footprints.
Features
Theory
Elimination of movements from a working surface is achieved by isolating it from any external influences such as the floor and the structure itself is rigid and damps out any induced surface movements (fans etc.). The major sources of external disturbances are vertical and horizontal floor movements.
Floor vibrations arise from many sources; road traffic, trains, large machinery, lifts and building sway are among common examples. Typically building vibrations peak in the region of 7 Hz, however a metal frame building of height H has a resonance of roughly 46/H hertz, which means that on the fifth floor of a building you can expect horizontal and vertical displacements as low as 3 hertz. Floors almost never exhibit periodic vibrations in the 1 to 3Hz band.
The measure of the effectiveness of an isolation system is given by its transmissibility (opposite). As an approximate rule isolators start to become effective at between two to three times their own natural resonant frequency. Thus to remove vibrations at 7Hz an isolator with a natural frequency of about 2Hz is required.
The performance of an isolator depends on its stiffness and the mass it is supporting. In general isolator performance improves as mass is increased and for optimum performance one should work close to the maximum load an isolation system is designed to support. As an example, it is bad practice to place a 50kg load on a table designed to support 500kg, whereas a load of 200kg or more would be suitable.
The load supported by an isolator is calculated by multiplying the air pressure inside the isolator by the area of the piston it is supporting. Thus a piston of 15cm² surface area will support 25kg at 2 Bar. As (pressure) x (volume) for an isolator is a constant at any given temperature, increasing the load on an isolator will cause the piston to drop until the pressure has risen sufficiently to support the load. If one wishes to return the platform to its original level, then one must introduce more air into the isolator at the new pressure.
A self-levelling valve introduces and exhausts air automatically into an isolator and always keeps it at the same height.
Construction
Our platforms combine a highly rigid damped table with an excellent vibration isolation system in one unique package.
It has long been accepted that the best isolation is achieved using pneumatic isolation chambers, which utilise high performance rolling diaphragms. All our isolators contain such a specially designed diaphragms.
Our isolators are also connected to a damping volume via a tuned restrictor. The restrictor absorbs system energy by converting air movements into heat as it is forced through the restrictor. This removes the overshoot and oscillations, which occur in isolators without dampening chambers and highly specialised restrictors such as ours.
We use a low isolation volume to damping volume ratio, which means that the working surface appears stiff to the touch (as all large low frequency disturbances are rapidly damped away). Small higher frequency disturbances are removed by the isolator chamber, these have a resonant frequency (dependant on version and load) typically in the range 1.5 to 2Hz. and whose characteristics are given in the transmissibility curves.
Our platforms feature a seamless steel top finished in either a grey epoxy powder coat or optionally made from dull polished stainless steel. Both finishes meet the Class 10 requirements. The stainless finish may be required in certain environments and we would be pleased to advise on this. The tops are formed by laminating a highly damping core between two steel plates using high strength aerospace grade adhesives, a technique we developed in producing our range of high performance optical tables and breadboards.
Four isolators, airflow restrictors and damping volumes are integrated into the platforms, which allow the working surface to float freely away from its base during operation. The natural frequency is typically 2Hz both vertically and horizontally and is suitable for all but the most sensitive instruments, where our low frequency option should be selected. We offer a choice of active and passive platform versions.
In active platforms, each isolator is connected to a self-levelling arm, which can be externally adjusted to set the height of the platform and level it. They should be chosen when the load on a table is expected to vary frequently. These platforms require a continuous supply of air. This can be provided by a compressor or using a gas bottle (suitable for months of normal operation and ideal for clean room uses).
Passive platforms are designed for applications where load does not vary. This includes balance tables, which are designed for light loads where the platform is weighted to give good performance.
Platforms are manufactured in one location using state-of-the-art automated machinery to guarantee high tolerances and consistency while keeping costs low. Our products are assembled by a highly skilled workforce and rigorous quality control is applied throughout the manufacturing process.
Excellence in design
Great care has been taken in the design of our products to ensure they achieve the highest levels of performance, while being easy to use and to clean thoroughly. With isolation design optimised for use in microscopy and surface design optimised for easy of cleaning, our tables are ideal solutions for use in all areas of microscopy including cleanrooms and biohazard areas
A better working environment
Our range of platforms and workstations improve the environment for your microscope with all the features necessary to make your work easier. Workstations provide a tailored working environment as well as featuring isolation built into the work surface, which makes working with a microscope both faster and easier, leading to more reliable measurements in your laboratory. Platforms are ultra thin and designed for use on benches beneath microscopes to maximise their performance.
Vibration Control
The OAMF and OAMP platforms offer the ultimate performance, incorporating four 2Hz damped rolling diaphragm air isolators, efficiently isolating frequencies from 6Hz and upwards. The OAMS tables incorporate Sorbothane isolators, giving excellent isolation with a natural frequency of less than 7Hz. Our isolators considerably out perform both simple air cushion and rubber isolators, shortening stabilisation times and speeding up measurements. The OAMD-SA workstation has an active area top plate comprising a rigid top plate placed over a full size isolation table on which an active area plate freely floats for the instrument to sit on, giving the advantages the excellent stability a full size table offers, without compromising work space.
Flexible solutions
We offer a range of workstations and platforms to suit different environments and microscope performance levels. Workstations feature a platform mounted on a study steel frame with height adjustable levelling feet and guards to protect the table from accidental knocks during use.
Passive platforms (OAMP series)
These platforms are designed to be pumped-up and left alone. Simple to use, they are ideal for use with fixed loads or in applications where pressurised air or gas cannot be used. They support loads up to 160kg and sizes range from
600 x 600mm to 1500 x 900mm with a 60mm working height.
Balance tables (OAMB series)
These passive platforms are weighted to 25kg and are for use with light instruments such as balances. They support loads to 120kg and are available in three sizes, 450 x 300mm, 400 x 500mm and 600 x 600mm. Their small footprint also makes them ideal for use when space is at a minimum. Working height is 60mm.
Contoured platform (OAMC series)
This light and compact passive platform has been specially designed for instruments such as microscopes. Its T- shape profile allows users to place their arms on either side of the platform while the width at the rear is large enough to support a wide range of instruments. Made entirely from electroless Nickel-plated aluminium parts it is suitable for Class 1 requirements. The top plate is 10mm thick with three damped isolators mounted to the underside.
High load workstations (OAMH series)
These workstations are designed for heavy instruments such as electron microscopes, which require high degrees of isolation from vibrations. They comprise a highly rigid platform supported on a sturdy isolation frame fitted with levelling feet.
The platform is fabricated by laminating two 5mm thick ferromagnetic steel plates to a 50mm thick aluminium close cell honeycomb core using aerospace grade adhesives.
The resultant plate has excellent compliance characteristics and its rigidity is suitable for supporting large loads up to 1500kg.
The vibration isolators are built into the legs of the frame. Each leg contains a low natural frequency rolling diaphragm isolator connected to a damping volume via a tuned flow restrictor, giving a highly damped system with a natural resonance (at high load) of around 1.1Hz. The isolation system is active with a self-levelling arm attached to each leg allowing the platform to be levelled as required and to compensate for varying loads. The isolators are available in two versions, the standard version for loads up to 500kg and a heavy-duty version for loads to 1500kg. The standard platform is available in a range of sizes from 900 x 900mm to 1500 x 1200mm.

With the active area option microscope platforms sit flush with the work surface and the surrounding area is useable for general work without disturbing measurements. Frames have height adjustable levelling feet, for excellent stability and user comfort with retractable castor feet, frame shelf and monitor support optional.Selecting a platform
To select a platform you must first decide on the size of the working surface you require, the load it needs to support and the sensitivity of the equipment to vibrations; from this you can determine the class of product you require. You then need to decide whether you will require it to be floor mounted and what type of air supply would be best suited. We would be pleased to assist you and answer any questions you may have.Active Platforms (OAMF series)

MICROSCOPE ISOLATION PLATES
This light and compact passive platform has been specially designed to remove unwanted vibrations from instruments such as microscopes. Its T-shaped profile allows users to place their arms on either side of the platform, while the rear section is wide enough to accommodate a wide range of instruments. Platforms are made entirely from electroless nickel-plated aluminium parts and are fully non-magnetic. The top plate is 10mm thick with three damped isolators mounted to the underside. They meet the most stringent cleanliness requirements, such as Class 1 and are resistant to most forms of biological and chemical attack. Their simple shape makes them very easy to clean.
Platform top plates rest on three pneumatic damped rolling diaphragm isolators. Typical building vibrations, which cause the most problems, are the cyclical ones between 7 and 30Hz. These isolators have a natural frequency of around 2Hz and start to effectively isolate vibrations from 7Hz upwards, greatly outperforming simple air cushion and rubber isolators which have much higher natural frequencies. The isolators are inflated using a conventional bicycle pump. When pressurised the isolators float the platform, effectively isolating the instrument from vibrations present on the work surface via a cushion of air.
The AMC-1 is a pump-up platform whereas the AMC-12S is an active self-levelling platform. The AMC-1 is very popular and suits most microscopes. AMC-1 is simply pumped up with a bicycle pump.

OPTIONS, MODULAR ACCESSORIES AND COMPONENTS
Low frequency platform option (lf option)
Platforms with this option incorporate a specially extended isolator, which has a natural frequency of 1.5Hz vertically and horizontally. It is available only for active platforms. The only difference to the standard versions is that the platform depth is increased to 100mm with a corresponding increase in working height to 110mm.
Frame
Frames bolt directly to the platforms and are feature a hard grey epoxy powder finish. They are supplied with four levelling feet, giving 30mm of adjustment to ensure the frames stability on the most uneven floors. Frame height 710mm, going to a working height of 780mm.
Frame shelf
Frame shelves are made from 20mm laminated board and are suitable for supporting equipment such as computers
Platform guard
The platform guard is a sturdy rail (with side rail option) that fully surrounds the platform and protects it against accidental knocks, which would otherwise disturb instruments on the platform.
Platform shelf
A 300mm wide shelf, which sits on the guard rail over the platform and is quick and easy to remove and replace.
Monitor stand
This padded stand will support monitors weighing up to 30kg. It features 360 degree rotation of the arm as well as height adjustment. It mounts to the platform guard.
Retractable castors
These castors incorporate a foot, which can be raised and lowered using a thumbwheel, allowing the workstation to be wheeled around and then securely mounted to the floor in a new location.
Silent compressor components
These compact and oil free air compressors are virtually silent (30dB/A) versions and suitable for running several platforms.
Air preparation unit
An air preparation unit should be used if compressed air is used which may be damp or contain small particles. The unit will ensure the air supply is properly cleaned and dry before entering the platforms.
Stainless working surface
The dull polished stainless steel surface is ideal for stringent environments, such as within the food industry and in medical applications.
Mounting holes
We can supply platforms with a ferromagnetic steel working surface featuring either M6 holes on a 25mm grid of ¼-20UNC holes on 1 inch centres.
Concentric airmount OAM-AM02
This low profile airmount has a working height of only 40mm. Our unique design incorporates an isolation chamber surrounded by a concentric damping chamber. The chambers are connected by a tuned airflow restrictor which gives optimum damping with no overshoot while isolating out floor vibrations.
The OAM-AM02 isolators are designed to work to around 30kg.
OEM Airmount OAM-AM03
This low cost isolator has a very small footprint and is designed for incorporation into instruments. It is used in conjunction with a damping chamber, which has the advantage of being placable at some distance from the isolator, as required by the user.
High load isolator OAM-AM07
These high load isolators are capable of supporting loads up to 400kg and have a very low natural frequency as low as 1.1Hz. They are ideal as mounts for heavy sensitive instruments such as electron microscopes.
Levelling arm OAM-AM09
The levelling arm introduces and exhausts air into the isolators to maintain a constant working height. Its response time is much faster than that of the isolators and when used with them produces a working surface that not only feels very stiff but actually has an improved isolation performance.
Note that the monitor stand, OAM-F05, requires a platform guard, OAM-F03.
