Machine tools are often subjected to high levels of accelerations
from ground motions that strain and distort the machine. This
distortion depends on machine construction, machine mounting,
and the amount and direction of acceleration that the machine
experiences [1]. Since it is difficult to insulate the machine from its
production environment or from vibration producing machines
and devices, it becomes necessary to isolate the machine from such
disturbances. The goal of vibration isolation is to maintain dynamic
excitations transmitted to the machine to levels below the
allowable machining and measurement deviations.
