Irvine, CA--Newport (Nasdaq:NEWP) has acquired the products and technology of Vistek (Tempe, AZ), which makes vibration isolation solutions. The new products will be offered under Newport’s VIBe family of isolation products, and include mechanical isolation bearings, benchtop platforms and stand-alone workstations. All of the new products feature isolator bearing technology that provides maintenance-free vibration isolation for sensitive equipment.
Jim Fisher, Group Director for Newport’s Vibration Control business unit, said, “Newport and Vistek have been working together since 2010, when we jointly developed Newport’s VIBe product offering. Since that time, we have brought this technology to new customers around the world to solve their unique vibration isolation challenges.”
The new product lineup includes the compact LIP-Lab Isolation Platforms, which are specifically designed for lab balances, petri dishes and other small lab equipment and devices. The lineup also includes the VIT-laboratory workstations tables, which are used to isolate sensitive lab equipment from vibration.
