Introducing Stacis 4, the next generation in active floor vibration control

Stacis is the leading floor vibration isolation technology worldwide, with a unique control system and serial architecture. It enables and protects electron and ion beam tools and other highly sensitive instruments from low-frequency vibration down to point three five hertz. The typical installation of Stacis 4 is as part of a quiet island consisting…

Stacis is the leading floor vibration isolation technology worldwide, with a unique control system and serial architecture. It enables and protects electron and ion beam tools and other highly sensitive instruments from low-frequency vibration down to point three five hertz.

The typical installation of Stacis 4 is as part of a quiet island consisting of isolator legs, a floor module with patented floor sense technology, a clean room compatible, highly damped steel platform, and a proprietary control system with a PC-based user interface.

State-of-the-art metrology instrumentation requires the unique capabilities of Stacis to achieve optimum performance, particularly when requiring stability over long exposure times. A floor moves in six degrees of freedom due to vibration from seismic activity caused by internal and external sources such as human foot traffic, machinery, general instabilities inside a facility, vehicles, trains, and construction outside.

These vibration sources can influence the stability of a precision instrument. An instrument, when configured with TMC’s Stacis isolation, the proprietary technology applies piezo actuators to create an equal and opposite movement that cancels out the floor vibration in six degrees of freedom. The transmissibility curve shows what is achievable with existing leading technology. In comparison, Stasis 4 is far superior, particularly at low frequencies where it is needed most. With up to ninety-six percent reduction at one hertz and ninety-nine-point nine percent reduction at two hertz, the Stacis 4 delivers superior vibration isolation for any application.

Your devices are getting smaller and smaller. Image resolution continues to increase. You need Stasis 4—the pinnacle of piezoelectric active vibration cancellation to meet tomorrow’s technology’s demands.

Introducing Stasis four, the next generation in active floor vibration control. Stasis is the leading floor vibration isolation technology worldwide with a unique control system and serial architecture. It enables and protects electron and ion beam tools and other highly sensitive instruments from low frequency vibration down to point three five hertz. Stasis four is typically installed as part of a quiet island consisting of isolator legs, a floor module with patented floor sense technology, a clean room compatible, highly damped steel platform, and a proprietary control system with a PC based user interface. State of the art metrology instrumentation requires the unique capabilities of Stasis to achieve optimum performance, particularly when stability is required over long exposure times. A floor moves in six degrees of freedom due to vibration from seismic activity caused by internal and external sources such as human foot traffic, machinery, and general instabilities inside a facility, vehicles, trains, and construction outside. These vibration sources can influence the stability of a precision instrument. But when the instrument is configured with TMC's Stasis isolation, The proprietary technology applies piezo actuators to create an equal and opposite movement that cancels out the floor vibration in six degrees of freedom. The transmissibility curve shows what is achievable with existing leading technology. In comparison, Stasis four is far superior. For particularly at low frequency where it is needed most. With up to ninety six percent reduction at one hertz and ninety nine point nine percent reduction at two hertz, the stasis four delivers superior vibration isolation for any application.

Graphisoft Outlines Open BIM Layer and AI Design Platform

Graphisoft Outlines Open BIM Layer and AI Design Platform

Graphisoft announced two initiatives under development: a browser-based Open BIM collaboration layer meant to work across Nemetschek Group products, and a separate AI-assisted design platform. According to Batinfo, the collaboration layer is planned for early access in 2026 and the AI design platform is planned for early access starting in October.

  • 01Graphisoft's collaboration layer will support open standards including IFC and BCF alongside PDF, DWG, and RVT for architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and operators across Nemetschek Group products.
  • 02Graphisoft says its AI design platform would let users review volume, layout, and performance scenarios in a shared browser workspace without BIM expertise, with early access planned to start in October.
  • 03Both products remain in development without published technical specifications, pricing, or independent performance data as of the article date.

San Pedro Bay Posts Third-Highest July Import Volume on Record

San Pedro Bay Posts Third-Highest July Import Volume on Record

July import volumes at the San Pedro Bay port complex reached the third-highest level for the month on record, according to a JLL analysis reported by GlobeSt on Sept. 10. GlobeSt also reported that fuel surcharge pressure is concentrated on longer-haul drayage routes serving destinations farther inland, with surcharges across Southern California, the Inland Empire, Las Vegas and Phoenix averaging 31% above base rates.

  • 01Container rates from East Asia to the U.S. West Coast rose 170% since mid-May and 314% since the start of the Iran conflict in 2026.
  • 02Machinery, technology and AI-related equipment now represent 61% of customs import value, up from 15% in 2019.
  • 03Fuel surcharges on drayage across Southern California, the Inland Empire, Las Vegas and Phoenix have climbed to an average of 31% above base rates, up from 8% in January, GlobeSt reported Sept. 10.
