Overview

Inspection was performed following a request to inspect three DVIA-P units installed at the Tier-1 Semiconductor Hwasung site.

Daeil UI Program Transmissibility and vibration measurement results show normal performance.

Equipment On/Off comparison inspection allows assessment of vibration impact from equipment IDLE state.

Data and Image

Displacement Sensor Graph

Accelerometer Graph

The accelerometer and displacement sensors correctly sense vibration changes and operate normally.

Z-axis (Vertical) Transmissibility (AIMs Power on)

With floor excitation, Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program shows attenuation of −10 dB or more at 3 Hz. Resonance peaks rising to 0 dB exist in the 30, 40, and 50 Hz bands. This output is presumed to be from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

Z-axis (Vertical) Transmissibility (AIMs Power off)

With floor excitation, Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program similarly shows attenuation of −10 dB or more at 3 Hz. No resonance peaks appear above −10 dB in the high-frequency bands. Resonance peaks in the Power on state are judged to be output from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

Z-axis (Vertical) VC curves (AIMs Power on)

In the 3 Hz band, top-plate vibration is measured high at VC-C and VC-D. In the 10–15 Hz and 20–80 Hz bands, top-plate vibration is measured larger than bottom-plate vibration. These vibrations are presumed to be from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

Z-axis (Vertical) VC curves (AIMs Power off)

In the 3 Hz band, top-plate vibration decreased to VC-D. Compared with Power on measurement, top-plate vibration in the 10–15 Hz and 20–80 Hz bands decreased significantly. This supports judging those vibrations as equipment IDLE-state vibration.

X-axis (Left to Right) Transmissibility (AIMs Power on)

Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program shows attenuation of −10 dB or more from 3 Hz. Resonance peaks rising above 0 dB exist in the 15, 27, and 40 Hz bands; these may be vibration from equipment IDLE state, but horizontal-axis excitation is not possible so that vibration cannot be confirmed. For accurate isolator performance evaluation, inspection with upper equipment Turned off is required, and performance may improve with additional tuning.

X-axis (Left to Right) Transmissibility (AIMs Power off)

With equipment Turned off, Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program similarly shows attenuation of −10 dB or more at 3 Hz. No resonance peaks appear above −10 dB in the high-frequency bands. Resonance peaks in the Power on state are judged to be output from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

X-axis (Left to Right) VC curves (AIMs Power on)

In low-frequency bands, top-plate vibration is lower than bottom-plate vibration, but in the 10–15 Hz, 20–25 Hz, and 40–50 Hz bands, top-plate vibration is measured larger than bottom-plate vibration. These vibrations are presumed to be from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

X-axis (Left to Right) VC curves (AIMs Power off)

Compared with Power on measurement, top-plate vibration in the 10–15 Hz, 20–25 Hz, and 40–50 Hz bands decreased significantly. This supports judging those vibrations as equipment IDLE-state vibration. Performance is somewhat lower than the Y-axis; additional tuning may improve performance.

Y-axis (Front to Back) Transmissibility (AIMs Power on)

Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program shows attenuation of −10 dB or more from 3 Hz. Resonance peaks rising above 0 dB exist in the 15, 27, and 43 Hz bands; these may be vibration from equipment IDLE state, but horizontal-axis excitation is not possible so that vibration cannot be confirmed. For accurate isolator performance evaluation, inspection with upper equipment Turned off is required, and performance may improve with additional tuning.

Y-axis (Front to Back) Transmissibility (AIMs Power off)

With equipment Turned off, Active Transmissibility Graph measurement via the Daeil UI Program similarly shows attenuation of −10 dB or more at 3 Hz. No resonance peaks appear above −10 dB in the high-frequency bands. Resonance peaks in the Power on state are judged to be output from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

Y-axis (Front to Back) VC curves (AIMs Power on)

In low-frequency bands, top-plate vibration is lower than bottom-plate vibration, but in the 10–15 Hz and 20–40 Hz bands, top-plate vibration is measured larger than bottom-plate vibration. These vibrations are presumed to be from equipment IDLE-state vibration.

Y-axis (Front to Back) VC curves (AIMs Power off)

Compared with Power on measurement, top-plate vibration in the 10–15 Hz, 20–25 Hz, and 40–50 Hz bands decreased significantly. This supports judging those vibrations as equipment IDLE-state vibration.
