Coordinate Measuring Machine Seismic Isolation Options
Protection for unexpected earthquakes
Keeping coordinate measuring machines protected from earthquakes is the key to prevent stoppages with inspection work.
The effects of seismic isolation were verified against earthquakes proposed and anticipated from both analysis and experiments, and demonstrated with testing.
Minimizes damage to measuring instruments caused by seismic motion
Reduces the risk of physical injury caused by measuring instruments toppling over when an earthquake strikes
Allows quick restoration of inspection work after an earthquake
Tosei Engineering works with customers through every stage of the process, from making preparations prior to installation of seismic isolation systems to actual installation, setting up measuring instruments again after installation, and final inspection of measurement precision after setup is complete.
Shaking (horizontal acceleration) reduced to approximately 1/5th
Testing based on the seismic waves measured in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake demonstrated that shaking was reduced to about 1/5th of the input.
There is a clear difference in the stress acting on the bridge of a coordinate measuring machine with and without a seismic isolation system.
This minimizes damage caused by shaking, and protects coordinate measuring machines during earthquakes.
