Minus K(R) Technology Partners With Kinetic Systems for New MK26 High Performance Vibration Isolation Workstation; New MK26 Vibration Isolation Workstation Adds Integrated Solutions to Minus K Offerings.INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Minus K Technology, a leading manufacturer of vibration isolation Vibration isolation is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Despite construction distinctions the essence of all vibration isolation systems are similar. products is partnering with Kinetic Systems, Inc. for the new MK26 High Performance Vibration Isolation Workstation. The new MK26 integrates the Minus K patented Negative Stiffness(TM) vibration isolation technology with the Kinetic Systems workstation platform and accessories to deliver a compact, passive workstation with ultra-low sub-Hertz natural frequencies achieving 93% isolation efficiency at 2 Hz, 99% at 5 Hz, and 99.7% at 10 Hz. "This partnership brings the strengths of both companies together to deliver a combined solution whose price-performance and ease of integration are unmatched in the industry," said David Platus, president and chief executive officer of Minus K Technology. "The MK26 addresses a new class of applications for Minus K where our customers require a wide range of pre-engineered accessories for application integration." The Minus K MK26 Vibration Isolation Workstation can be configured for a wide variety of applications. Customization options include guard rails, padded armrests, overhead equipment shelves, monitor stands, non-isolated shelves for supporting equipment off the tabletop, oversized o·ver·size n. 1.

The MK26 is available with up to 650 pounds (295Kg) gross load capacity. It is Class 100 cleanroom compatible, with Class 10 available as an option. Tabletops can be ordered in two sizes (30" x 36" and 36" x 48"). Applications for the MK26 Vibration Isolation Workstation include fluorescent dye Noun 1. fluorescent dye - a yellow dye that is visible even when highly diluted; used as an absorption indicator when silver nitrate solution is added to sodium chloride in order to precipitate silver chloride (turns pink when no chloride ions are left in solution and imaging, patch clamping, scanning probe microscopes, microhardness testing, sensor calibration, profilers, and interferometers in fields such as biology, semiconductor processing, materials research, aerospace engineering, and medical research. The MK26 is now available starting at a list price of $6,920.
