FormFactor - Cascade Vibration Isolation Tables - Tables from simple to highly sensitive
-
Designed for use with specific Probe Systems
-
Tables to suit all facility requirements and applications
-
Stable probing, even in submicron range
-

Full range of vibration isolation tables
Working with increasingly small scales of reference means that any vibration however minimal, even from the equipment itself, will seriously degrade a probe station’s performance. Slight vibrations will cause the probes to jump and miss their contacts and the microscope image will be blurred. Our range of vibration isolation tables includes a simple table for general working conditions as well as specifically designed tables for very sensitive measurements such as in the submicron range.
