Abstract:
-
This paper documents the work done for the Molecular Measuring
Machine (M3) Project by the Engineering Design Laboratory (EDL) at
NIST. The M3 Project is developing and fabricating a device capable
of making repeatable measurements of atomic-scale features within a
volume of 50mm x 100 m. Extraordinary measures are being taken to
isolate the device from mechanical vibrations, thermal loading, and
acoustic noise. The finest level of control over mechanical
vibrations is achieved through an active vibration-isolation system.
The EDL created solid models of the components and assemblies related
to the active vibration- isolation systems in order to obtain the mass
properties calculations required by the dynamic control system.
