NSLS-II Seminar

"Hummingbird: active vibration isolation technology"

Presented by Johan van Seggelen, MECAL, Netherlands

Thursday, September 2, 2010, 10:30 am — NSLS-II Large Conference Room, Bldg. 703

The high-tech industry constantly requires improvement of the accuracy of mechatronic systems. Floor vibrations around 1 Hz are a limiting factor in the performance of these systems. The Dutch engineering company MECAL (www.mecal.eu) developed a solution to suppress these vibrations significantly.
- Suppression of floor vibrations of at least 30 : 1
- Low noise at low frequencies (around 1 Hz) as a result of direct position sensing
- No stiff floor required as a result of voice coil actuation
MECAL is a leading supplier of high-end active vibration isolation technology in the semiconductor and related high-tech industry. With their engineering competences they can carry out dedicated design-in projects and deliver customized platforms.
Dr. Ir. Johan van Seggelen MBA (Business Development Manager at MECAL) will give a presentation on the technical details of the hummingbird technology and show performance measurement results.
