Overview

Tuning and vibration measurement were performed on the DVIA-ML3000 installed at the Nano Convergence Technology Institute of POSTECH.

Tuning and vibration measurement were conducted with the equipment turned off.

Construction was in progress nearby at the time of the work. This may affect vibration measurement results.

Data are presented as VC curves, and reference information on vibration levels is provided.

Equipment Vibration Specification

Conclusion

Vertical: A specification exceedance occurred at 100 Hz. Construction was underway nearby during the measurement, and vibration is presumed to have propagated along cables connected to the equipment.

Left to Right and Front to Back: The specification is met in all frequency bands.

Notes:

- As measured in one-third octave bands of frequency over the frequency 8 to 80 Hz (VC·A and VC·B) or 1 to 80 Hz (VC·C through VC·G).

- The detail size refers to the width in the case of microelectronics fabrication, the particle (cell) size in the case of medical and pharmaceutical research, etc. It is to imaging associated with probe technologies, AFMs, and nanotechnology.

The information given in this table is for guidance only. In most instances, it is recommended that the advice of someone knowledgeable about applications and vibration requirements of the equipment and processes be sought.
