THE PROJECT

The goal of this project was to develop a next-generation active vibration cancellation platform for the company AMETEK – TMC. TMC offers a complete line of advanced floor vibration isolation systems.
Designed to isolate ultra-precision instruments from building floor vibrations down to below 1 Hz, the Everstill K-400 is ideal for optical microscopes, SPMs, and metrology instruments. TMC’s Everstill K-400 active vibration cancellation benchtop platform was named by the editors of Microscopy Today magazine as one or the ten most important and useful innovations developed for the microscopy community in 2015.
