What services do we provide?

VEC provides several services to customers:

• Site Surveys and Site Evaluations – We conduct site surveys that measure the vibration, acoustic noise, magnetic field, floor stiffness, and other factors against the manufacturer’s provided specifications. Typically VEC completes this work for electron microscopes, high-tech manufacturing and analytical tools, and research instruments. Our service is scalable from a single tool location to an entire factory floor.
• Design Consulting – We work with architects, engineers, facilities managers, and end-users to design best in class facilities to meet the unique requirements of client equipment. We will use a combination of testing and advanced modeling to ensure that the new facility meets client needs and validate the results at the end.
• Remediation – If we identify a problem, we will work with the client to either mitigate the issue directly or provide a solution that eliminates the problem at the tool location.

What products do we sell?

• Vibration Isolation – VEC is the distributor of Daiel Systems’ active vibration isolation products in North and South America.
• Magnetic Field Cancellation – VEC is the distributor of the Spicer Magnetic Field Cancellation Systems in North and South America.
