Vibration cancellation apparatus

摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a compact vibration cancellation apparatus based on a combination of air springs (11) and electromagnetic actuators (12) with smaller power capacity to enable the anti-vibration table (10) to be maintained in a level position even when the gravity of the anti-vibration table (10) moves over a large distance caused by a movement of the objective equipment (A) on the table. A vibration cancellation apparatus for isolating floor vibration or canceling vibration of the objective equipment (A) on a anti-vibration table (10) comprises: at least three displacement sensors (12), acceleration sensors (13), levitation position control means, vibration canceling control means, and air spring actuators (11) for supporting four corners of said anti-vibration table (10) by air pressure; wherein said air pressure in each of said air spring actuator (11) is controlled in response to a change of load weight which corresponds to a movement of gravity caused by movement of said objective equipment (A) on said anti-vibration table (10).
