Systems and methods for reducing vibrational disturbances

Abstract

The problem of addressing vibrational disturbances in mechanical positioning systems is addressed by systems and methods that use a combination of active vibration dampening and passive vibration dampening. A system described herein generally comprises a mechanical positioning system; a payload; and a vibration dampening module coupled to the mechanical position system and to the payload. The vibration dampening module generally comprises an active vibration dampener and/or a passive vibration dampener.
