The performance of every vibration isolation system is affected by the basic conditions in the particular laboratory. Under the most favorable conditions, the vibration isolation system is located directly on the floor. As this is not feasible in most cases, tables or support frames are needed, which in turn have to meet high requirements. For its workstation systems, Halcyonics basically uses welded support frames that are ideal for use with active vibration isolation systems.
Halcyonics workstations consist of a combination of the active vibration isolation system and a support frame perfectly matched to this system. These workstations are optimal for use with inverse light microscopes together with scanning electrode microscope equipment or with patch clamp setups.

In addition to their high isolation from floor vibration through AVI (active vibration isolation), Halcyonics workstations also dampen application-generated vibration by AVC (active vibration control), e.g., this technology isolates vibration caused when the user touches the equipment. Thanks to Halcyonics workstations, active vibration isolation takes effect right at 1 Hz and considerably increases from this frequency upward. Above 10 Hz, Halcyonics active workstation units achieve an isolation of -35 dB. A major advantage of active Halcyonics systems is that they do not have any natural low-frequency resonance, which is responsible for problems encountered with passive vibration isolation systems in low-frequency ranges below 5 Hz. The systems isolate vertical and horizontal vibration as well as vibration generated around the vertical axis of rotation as well as both horizontal axes of inclination. The degree of freedom of the active isolation system is thus six.

The following versions are currently available: Active Workstation 600 (work area 600 mm x 600 mm) Active Workstation 780 (work area 600 mm x 780 mm) and Active Workstation 900 (work area 750 mm x 900 mm).

Besides standard versions, Halcyonics also manufactures customized workstations on the basis of its active vibration isolation systems in order to meet highly diverse requirements on load, size and vibration environment.
