Abstract

In an on-line scanning sensor system, certain components of an FT-IR interferometer are isolated from vibrations that cause inaccuracies in measurements provided by the system, thereby allowing the sensor system to be used on-line in manufacturing environments. More particularly, vibration-absorbing suspension devices suspend selected interferometer components such that the center of suspension of the suspended interferometer component is substantially coincident with the center of gravity of the suspended components.
