Minus K engineers can design a variety of custom vibration isolation systems. Frequently these are modifications of other designs such as changing the load capacity of an SM-1 isolator, or the capacity, size and isolator locations on a FP-1 Platform. Some other custom modifications and capabilities include: - Different vertical, horizontal or tilt stiffness in an isolator - Different vertical, horizontal or tilt damping in an isolator - Vacuum compatibility - Mildly magnetic - Heavy load capacities (Six 10,000 lb isolators for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Ground Testing) - Large displacements - Large temperature variations - Compact systems (e.g., a seven-inch cubic 1/2 Hz isolator for a 700 lb payload; a six-inch diameter by 4-inches tall 1/2 Hz vibration isolation platform for a 3 lb payload.) - Vertical auto-adjust feature to automatically adjust for change in payload weight. - Lock-unlock feature implemented manually with a switch or automatically with signals, from a stage motion control system, for example.
