Abstract
Isolation systems are used to weather decouple vibrating machines from their environment or to reduce vibration transmission from the environment onto sensitive equipment. Optical communication systems in aerospace engineering are a concrete field of appliance. This work shows a concept of an active isolation device for high precision application. The presented adaptronic approach bases on a functional integration of actuator and sensor into the mechanical structure. The effectiveness of the single functionally integrated actuator is evaluated in a simplified testing environment.
