Patent ID: 8851250

Claim:
An active vibration isolation system designed to damp a vibration of a mass, comprising: sensors configured to detect the vibration of the mass; actuators configured to damp the vibration of the mass; the mass, which is mounted on at least three vibration isolators configured as bearings, wherein each bearing has one associated actuator which is arranged in or on the corresponding bearing, and wherein the sensors are located close to the bearings; and at least one further sensor, arranged on the mass and positioned essentially at the same distance away from the bearings of the vibration isolation system, for detection of structural vibration of the mass; and where in the vibration isolation system has a control device for driving the at least one actuator, in which case a compensation signal can be added to other compensation signals for active vibration isolation via the control device, in order to reduce the structural vibration of the mass to be isolated.
