Reduce Vibration in Your Imaging Facility

Strategies and solutions.

Published April 2006 Cost-effective planning tips for vibration reduction.

One cost-saving idea when building facilities for vibration-sensitive instruments is to design in the capability of installing spring isolators, but hold off installing springs until you know that you really need them. Additionally, an inexpensive (non-construction) way to reduce vibration in an imaging facility is to turn off the HVAC system during imaging sessions.
