Floor Vibration Specification
The velocity of floor vibrations measured in a 1/3-octave RMS amplitude spectrum has
to be less than 1.0 μm/sec for frequencies between the 1.6-Hz band and the 10-Hz band
(including them). For frequencies above the 10-Hz band the maximum velocity should
not exceed 2.0 μm/sec. (A similar result can be achieved, if the floor vibrations are less
than the specifications defined by the standard NIST-A.)

The floor vibration specification of the RAITH Pioneer Two is extremely challenging, the measured floor vibrations did not meet the vibration specification. DAEIL SYSTEMS’s active vibration isolation system reduced the floor vibration in Z, X and Y axis, achieved to meet the vibration specification.
6. Results
Z-axis (Vertical)
AVI = Active Vibration Isolation
The measured vertical floor vibration exceeded the allowable floor vibration values from 1 to 80 Hz.
After the installation of DAEIL SYSTEMS’s active vibration isolation system, the floor vibrations were reduced to meet the floor vibration specification.
X-axis (Left to Right)
AVI = Active Vibration Isolation
The measured floor vibration in X axis below 10 Hz exceeded the allowable floor vibration. DAEIL SYSTEMS’s active vibration isolation system reduced the floor vibration from VC-E to VC-G in 1 – 80 Hz, meeting the floor vibration specification.
Y-axis (Front to Back)
AVI = Active Vibration Isolation
The low frequency floor vibration at 1.6 Hz, 5 Hz, 6.3 Hz exceed the allowable floor vibration values.
DAEIL SYSTEMS’s active vibration isolation system reduced these vibrations, achieved to meet the floor vibration specification
