Overview

Following the installation of DVIA-M1000 at Suzhou in China, tuning and vibration measurement were performed.

Vibration measurement was conducted with the equipment in the state.

Data is represented in VC Curve format and reference material on the vibration level is provided.

Tuning Date

2026.07.02

End User

Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics, SINANO

Number of Tuning Trial

1st

Location

Suzhou in China

Equipment

Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher Scientific

Equipment: FIB-SEM

Model: Helios 5CX

Vibration Specification

VC-F

Equipment Condition

IDLE

Tuning Request

Conclusion

The raw floor vibration levels at the installation site did not satisfy the required vibration specification for the Helios 5CX FIB-SEM. Upon installation and tuning of the DVIA-M1000 active vibration isolation system, the vibration levels were confirmed to meet the required specification. The system has been tuned and is operating normally.

Reference

The table below classifies vibration levels based on IEST-RP-CC012.2.

Criterion CurveDescriptionAmplitude (μm/s) (μin/s)Detail Size (μm)
Workshop (ISO)Distinctly perceptible vibration. Appropriate to workshops and non-sensitive areas.800 (32,000)N/A
Office (ISO)Perceptible vibration. Appropriate to offices and non-sensitive areas.400 (16,000)N/A
Residential Area (ISO)Barely perceptible vibration. Appropriate to sleep areas in most instances. Usually adequate for computer equipment, hospital recovery rooms, semiconductor probe test equipment, and microscopes less than 40x.200 (8,000)75
Operating Theatre (ISO)Vibration not perceptible. Suitable in most instances for surgical suites, microscopes to 100x and for other equipment of low sensitivity.100 (4,000)25
VC-AAdequate in most instances for optical microscopes to 400x, microbalances, optical balances, proximity and projection aligners, etc.50 (2,000)8
VC-BAppropriate for inspection and lithography equipment (including steppers) to 3μm line widths.25 (1,000)3
VC-CAppropriate standard for optical microscopes to 1000x, lithography and inspection equipment (including moderately sensitive electron microscopes) to 1μm detail size. TFT-LCD stepper/scanner processes.12.5 (500)1-3
VC-DSuitable in most instances for demanding equipment, including many electron microscopes (SEMs and TEMs) and E-Beam systems.6.25 (250)0.1-0.3
VC-EA challenging criterion to achieve. Assumed to be adequate for the most demanding of sensitive systems including long path, laser-based, small target systems, E-Beam lithography systems working at nanometer scales, and other systems requiring extraordinary dynamic stability.3.12 (125)< 0.1
VC-FAppropriate for extremely quiet research spaces; generally difficult to achieve in most instances, especially cleanrooms. Not recommended for use as a design criterion, only for evaluation.1.56 (62.5)N/A
VC-GAppropriate for extremely quiet research spaces; generally difficult to achieve in most instances, especially cleanrooms. Not recommended for use as a design criterion, only for evaluation.0.78 (31.3)N/A

Notes:

1. 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).

2. 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.
