Abstract
We have extended to two dimensions a previously developed vibration isolation table using crossed wire suspensions (X mechanisms). A load table is suspended using a combination of normal and upside-down X mechanisms so that it moves freely with a very long period in both horizontal directions but is moderately stiff in all other degrees of freedom. Periods of 5 s are easily achievable. The transfer function of the prototype reported here contains a number of elastic mode resonance peaks, but it is shown by analysis how to reduce or eliminate nearly all of these.
