The Fabreeka® Delta K™ controller works with low frequency, pneumatic isolation systems to provide both vibration isolation and an increase in repeatability and throughput by allowing a measuring machine to operate at its designed acceleration in harsh environments.

The vibration isolation system with Delta K™ controller is specifically designed to have a very high (stiff) spring rate when the machine is moving and a very low (soft) spring rate when the machine is measuring.

As the moving portion of the machine accelerates and decelerates to the point of measure, the stiff isolators with high damping prevent excess machine motion which can be normal on standard pneumatic isolators.
