Large Vibration-Isolated Bench

  • Flat optical bench (25 m long) for testing in vacuum

  • Isolation system (1.5 Hz) with active leveling for moving payloads

When a major aerospace company began to develop a new vacuum test facility for large space optics it turned to CSA to provide vibration isolation. CSA delivered a large optical bench, more than 25 meters long supported by a soft isolation system. With suspension modes in the range of 1 to 2 Hz, the 250-ton bench is mechanically decoupled from the rest of the facility including pumps and other machinery, enabling a high fidelity representation of the space environment. CSA’s product also provides load leveling to accommodate moving payloads on the bench, and a software monitoring system.
