Vibration Free Workstation/Platforms Defined

WPI offers both vibration free workstations and platforms, and each is custom-built to meet your specifications. This article describes the options available and how to request a price quote for the unit you need.

The vibration-free platform looks like the one shown (left). The workstation tables are similar. These vibration-free units offer vertical and horizontal vibration isolation, high performace active-air suspension and automatic leveling. The diagrams below show dimensions of the workstations.
