Meiritsu anti-vibration tables: anti-vibration tables and optical tables for all types of microscopes, including active and passive pneumatic optical anti-vibration tables from Meiritsu Seiki (Japan).

Overview

Meiritsu Seiki supplies anti-vibration tables and optical tables for all types of microscopes, including active and passive pneumatic optical anti-vibration tables. Oriental Horizon Technology Co Ltd (Beijing) supplies these products in China.

ADZ-A series anti-vibration table

The ADZ-A series is an upgraded version of the established ADZ series. While retaining the design concept of the ADZ series, it incorporates many new solutions requested by users: vibration isolation performance is further enhanced, working comfort is improved, a model with a larger mounting plate has been added, and a range of options is available for better operability of the mounted equipment. The series can accommodate a wide range of equipment and can be used in almost any location.

• Vibration isolation in both vertical and horizontal directions: a thin diaphragm-type air spring, combined with a new damping rubber, provides vibration isolation in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
• Design based on the user’s viewpoint: the color and exterior suit office environments, and three model sizes are available to match a wide range of equipment. Multiple power outlets (four two-pole sockets with ground terminal) and a urethane armrest are provided as standard.
• Automatic leveling mechanism: the isolator returns immediately to a horizontal position after the mounted equipment is changed, or when the mounting plate tilts because of a shift in the center of gravity. A surge tank and orifice are provided to damp oscillation of the mounting plate rapidly.
• Steel honeycomb optical tabletop: a highly rigid, lightweight steel honeycomb optical tabletop with high damping performance. The top surface plate is made of SUS430 ferromagnetic stainless steel, so magnetic stands can be used. Tapped holes can be provided on the top surface on request.

Options and applications

• Side shelves (L and R): additional working space or room for peripheral equipment, installed on the left and right sides of the main unit; width 250 mm.
• Upper shelves (UL and UR): installed straddling the mounting plate without contacting it, so the vibration isolation performance is not affected; they can be fitted on the left or right.
• Under shelf (T): storage space beneath the frame.
• Monitor stand (M): the monitor mounting part conforms to the VESA standard (screw pitch 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm); the height and angle of the monitor can be adjusted, and the stand can be fitted at the rear right or rear left of the isolator.
• Height control valve for clean rooms (CS): a drain tube can be connected to this valve so that the exhaust air is discharged to a suitable location, allowing the isolator to be used in clean rooms.
• Honeycomb tabletop with granite surface (GH): a honeycomb tabletop with a highly corrosion-resistant granite top surface plate.
• Applications: optical microscopes, laser microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, electrophysiology experiments, microinsemination, interferometers, manual probers, high-magnification CCD cameras, and surface roughness gauges.
