Vibration Measurement
With the perpetual advance of technology there is a need to be more precise
and accurate at microscopic levels.
Measurement devices need to be able to operate in a "vibration free"
(example: 5 mm p-p) zone.
This can be achieved using vibration control techniques.
Performing a vibration survey on existing flooring before equipment is installed will provide information needed to determine if specifications are met, and if not, what type of isolation may be needed to provide the lowest possible vibration magnitude.
The original manufacturer of the optical, or laser measurement equipment will detail specifications indicating allowable vibration magnitude. With our vibration monitoring equipment we can determine if specifications are met. Having this service done annually will ensure that these specifications continue to be met. Building changes or outside influences may have a profound impact on equipment already in use.
In some cases, isolating equipment from the existing flooring may not be
sufficient to avoid vibration contamination
Foundations may need to be changed (either too rigid, or flexible) in order
to dampen vibration enough.
Measurements of interest are typically in the 5-30 Hz range at or less than 10 mm p-p, or 7 mm rms .
Some contributors to vibration:
