Revolutionizing Precision Research: CleanBench’s ‘Set and Forget’ Vibration Isolation Table Eliminates Disruptions, Enhances Results

Imagine being a scientist or researcher working on critical projects that involve highly sensitive equipment such as optical microscopes, analytical balances, or scanning probe microscopes. In a field where precision is key, there’s one constant adversary you grapple with – vibration. Vibrations are everywhere, even in seemingly calm environments. They introduce artifacts that can significantly distort results, hinder your research progress, and consume an inordinate amount of time troubleshooting and correcting. To avoid these issues you need a vibration isolation table.

That’s where the CleanBench comes in, an innovative solution from TMC that tackles this pervasive problem. This is not just any table. It’s a micro g passive vibration isolation table that uses the principle of a mass on a damped spring, where the spring is compressed air. Its tabletop is where sensitive instruments are placed, and it’s supported by self-leveling air springs with high control sensors. The payload placed on this table will float, isolated from floor vibration and automatically leveled. All you need to do is connect it to a cylinder of nitrogen or an air compressor.

The alternative? Hanging bungee cords from the ceiling or creating a myriad of other makeshift solutions that are fraught with constant needs for adjustment and tinkering. These DIY options might seem amusing, but they pale in comparison to CleanBench’s ‘set and forget’ system.

The benefits of the CleanBench solution are clear. It eradicates the persistent problem of vibration, allowing researchers and scientists to focus on what truly matters: their work. It’s a proven, professional solution that not only saves time but also significantly improves the reliability and accuracy of results.

In a world where nanotechnology continues to drive forward, solutions like CleanBench are pioneering the way for a future where vibration is a problem of the past. So, let’s put the bungee cords aside and step into a new era of precision and stability with CleanBench

And what we're in here. Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the production process, we've got a clean bunch here, actually, that's already done. So I'm curious if you could walk me through what we're looking at here. I mean, I know when I press down on this, we get some air pressure, you get some responsiveness. So walk us through when this is used for and the mechanics of what makes this possible. So this is one of our micro g passive vibration isolation tables. It uses the principle again of a mass on a damp spring. The spring is compressed air. So what we've got here is a Tabletop where a customer would put their instrument, maybe an optical microscope. It could be an analytical balance. It could be something like a scanning probe, microscope, anything that's very, very sensitive. Before immigration, they would put it on the isolated surface here, which is supported by self-leveling air Springs that have high control sensors. So it automatically levels you connect it to a cylinder of nitrogen or an air compressor, and the table will float and keep the payload isolated from floor vibration and and level. Now, in practice, how does that make your client's job easier? Problem is this vibration artifact comes up everywhere. Yeah, right. So what this is, is a, you know, a proven professional solution. The alternative would be to do things like hang bungee cords from the ceiling or do all sorts of exotic homemade solutions like that are fraught with constant needs for adjustment and fiddling around. So what we do is set and forget system to allow our customers to just forget about floor vibration and concentrate on their work. Love that. Although bungee cords from the ceiling sound like it'd be fun to see. Yeah, Yeah. Let's get that one run to. No, this is great. Well, Steve, Thank you so much for the quick demo. It's really been a pleasure, man. And
