  • MOTION ISOLATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250354600
    Abstract: A motion isolation system for equipment includes a support structure, a motion platform enabling free movement along a plurality of axes, and a vibration isolation subsystem with a support plate. A biasing mechanism counterbalances at least some of the weight of the motion platform and the vibration isolation subsystem in an upward direction. The surface of the support plate is parallel to the surface of the support structure.
