Vibration control system
First Claim
1. A vibration control system for isolating or damping vibration of a body to be protected from the vibration, said body being supported on a movable foundation through the medium of a vibration isolating supporting structure, comprising:
- a vibration sensor for detecting vibration of said movable foundation;
an inverse vibration signal generating device supplied with the detection signal output from said vibration sensor for generating a vibration signal of such a waveform as to cancel out the vibration of said body through interference therewith; and
an actuator connected operatively to said body and said inverse vibration signal generating device for converting said vibration signal derived from said inverse vibration signal generating device into a mechanical vibration to be applied to said body to thereby decrease the vibration thereof.

Abstract
A vibration control system for damping vibration of an body to be isolated against vibration. The body is supported on a movable base through the medium of vibration-damping supporting structure. The control system comprises a vibration sensor for detecting vibration of the movable base. An inverse vibration signal generating circuit includes a digital sensor and in supplied with a detection signal outputted from the vibration sensor for generating a signal with a waveform to cancel out the vibration of the body through interference therewith. An actuator is connected operatively to the movable base and the inverse vibration signal generating circuit for converting the signal derived from the latter into a mechanical vibration to be applied to the body.
