Schaefer's technological offer, for scientists and researchers, also includes acoustic booths, with a very high degree of customization. We have already gained significant experience in the field, delivering several booths to clients in industrial and academic research. Each cabin was deisgned and tailored as per customer's requests, with characteristics that made it unique and different from the previous one.

These cabins protect the instrumentation from acoustic vibrations, canceling almost completely the background noise that interferes with the accuracy, and therefore with the reliability, of the measurements.

The acoustic enclosures cabins can be realized with different materials:
  • steel
  • aluminum
  • stainless steel
  • ...

Each of these materials has intrinsic characteristics of vibration reduction, but also other complementary characteristics that can adequately respond to the customer's needs. For example, the customer may need, in consideration of the applications and the instrument that will be put inside the enclosure, to receive an acoustic booth that is also diamagnetic.

On request, a padding that absorbs acoustic vibrations can be introduced inside the cabins. This padding also has the advantage of not releasing any particulates over time.

As options, we also offer interior lighting and safety interlock. The latter is strongly indicated for those who want to work in total safety. In fact, thanks to the interlock, the instrument inside the cabin, for instance a laser, switches off when the user opens the cabin door.

The acoustic booths work in a complementary way with anti-vibration tables and tabletop platforms, allowing the researcher to almost completely eliminate any type of interference with his own experiments / measurements.
