About Us

About Us

Kinetic Systems, Inc. has been at the forefront of vibration isolation and control since its inception in 1968. Through continuing research of vibration effects on equipment and structures, Kinetic Systems, Inc. has pioneered many state-of-the-art developments in vibration isolation, damping, and structural design. KSI engineers routinely solve a wide variety of complex vibration isolation problems for customers in applications as diverse as aerospace, medical research, laser R&D, and semiconductor equipment. By continually striving for and producing a superior product, KSI has become a trusted name in academic, industrial, and government research facilities worldwide. We are totally committed to offering the very finest advanced vibration isolation and control systems and optical tables.  We provide to a continually evolving range of precision applications in metrology, interferometry, laser research, semiconductor manufacturing, and virtually anywhere external vibrations adversely affect the operation of precision equipment.

Let Us Solve Your Tough Vibration Isolation Problem

The information in this guide has been assembled to give you enough information to select a solution for your specific vibration problem. If you need more information or if you have a specific application requiring a “custom” solution, please call us today.  If one of our pre-engineered systems can’t solve your problem, then our technically experienced application engineers will develop a cost-effective solution tailored to your application needs.

History

KSI Sets the Standard

1972 — KSI makes leveling feet a standard feature simplifying installations. VARIFLO orifice design introduced for improved damping response.

1975 — VibraDamped structural damping eliminates “ringing” and enhances isolation performance.

1978 — First high efficiency air isolation tabletop platform.

1979 — First Vibration-Free Island produced for below floor isolated support in cleanrooms where space efficiency is a requirement. VibraDamped tabletops introduced for maximum vibration control.

1980 — Kinematic pistons provide superior horizontal isolation efficiency.

1981 — Kinematic leveling feet added to systems for improved horizontal isolation. Unit Pendulum Isolators introduced for maximum horizontal isolation.

1985 — Variable Height Attachment introduced.

1991 — High frequency composite tabletops with internal damping introduced to provide maximum isolation efficiency.

1996 — KSI makes 1st true Class 1 cleanroom isolation system.

2001 — KSI introduces 2000 Series Variable Height Workstations to provide users an ergonomically correct work height. KSI introduces new Lightweight Breadboards.

2003 — KSI introduces Active Vibration Control Systems. MaxxAlign doubles positional accuracy on KSI Optical Tables.
