Kinetic Systems, Inc. (Boston, MA) has designed the 9600 Series Vibration Isolation Workstation for use in cleanrooms.

The 9600 Series is constructed of stainless steel using cylindrical welded braces for maximum rigidity, minimum flat surfaces, and easy wipedown. An enclosed isolation module, stainless steel valves, and vented exhaust keep the 9600 Series in full compliance with Class 1 and Class 10 cleanroom standards. The unit is available with a choice of finishes: electropolish for Class 1 compatibility or clear passivate for Class 10.

The 9600 Series Workstation features low natural frequencies and high isolation efficiencies. Under maximum load at 80 psi and 10 Hz, typical vibration isolation efficiencies are 93 percent with a vertical natural frequency of 1.5 Hz, and 95 percent with a horizontal natural frequency of 1.6 Hz. It can be ordered with an isolated weight capacity of either 800 or 1300 lbs.

Kinetic Systems 9600 Series Workstations feature the company’s Active-Air Suspension system, a dual-chamber compressedair system that provides vibration damping and maintains a preset “zero deflection” level to compensate for load changes.

Tables are available up to 36 in. deep and 60 in. wide. Accessories such as guard rails, fixed or sliding shelves, and monitor supports are available.

Kinetic Systems develops vibration isolation equipment, optical tables, and related components for a wide range of industries worldwide, including research and development, quality control, laboratories, and semiconductor manufacturing.
