Figure 1: Vertical and Horizontal Transmissibility for STACIS 2100 TMC’s DC-2000 Digital Controller is used to implement sophisticated non-linear feedback algorithms. These ensure the isolation system performs well in extreme circumstances such as deep saturation and The horizontal and vertical transmissibility was measured on a special shaker table with micron-level input. The isolated mass was granite. -
