For an updated project description, click on the following link for the Project Readiness Package. Vibration Isolation Tables are useful when mounting equipment that are sensitive to local vibrations created by the environment, but they are often bulky and difficult to move. The RIT Mechanical Engineering machine shop has been responsible for relocating these isolation tables when necessary. In doing so, the staff has involved methods that incur several risks. These include but are not limited to: injury to the movers/users, damage to the equipment, and damage to the facilities due to lack of appropriate equipment. An improved system is desired in order to move these isolation tables in a faster, safer, and more efficient manner. The end solution will result in a tool and training method that allows two people to effectively move the tables from one place to another without damaging the tables or facilities. The table movement solution will also provide a safe environment during transport. The device(s) needs to easily be stored within a specified footprint area in the machine shop in order to avoid interfering with normal operations when not in use.
