Ametek / TMC Stacis III DC-2020 Digital Vibration Controller

The Ametek/TMC Stacis III DC-2020 is a digital active vibration controller engineered to attenuate environmental vibrations in real-time through continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment. The system actively cancels a broad spectrum of vibrations by sensing disturbances via multiple input channels and commanding proportional responses through dedicated actuator outputs, establishing and maintaining a sub-damped, vibration-free platform for sensitive instrumentation. Real-time sensor feedback drives closed-loop control algorithms that adapt isolation parameters to changing environmental conditions.

Technical Specifications

The DC-2020 operates as a digital active vibration control system with continuous real-time measurement and analysis of vibration data across multiple sensor input channels. The controller features dedicated actuator output ports for driving active isolation actuators with signal conditioning tailored to the transducers and loads in use.
