Shaker, Amplifier & Controller

L.A.B.’s HV Hydraulic Vibration Test Systems help you design high quality, cost-effective products and shipping containers by accurately measuring sensitivity to vibration. HV Systems are specifically designed to meet a wide range of ASTM, DOT, ISTA, ISO and federal standards for vibration testing. HV Systems are ideal for a wide spectrum of testing applications ranging from sine sweep tests to the most complex data real time simulation, or random reproduction applications.

L.A.B. Transportation Simulators are used to determine the ability of packages and products to withstand shocks and vibrations encountered during in-plant handling and warehousing, shipping and distribution warehousing. Our transportation simulators use three methods of motion; rotary or circular synchronous motion, non-synchronous motion, and vertical linear motion to deliver the precise results you expect.

Model AD-160A is one of three models in the TRUEDROP Series. It helps determine the ruggedness of packages and the effectiveness of their interior cushioning when exposed to impact during material handling. The effects of dropping are easily duplicated in a laboratory setting using controlled and precise at, corner, and edge drop tests.

Precision drop testing at an affordable price. We call it the TRUEDROP 500 drop tester. This drop tester represents the ultimate in product and package performance testing and is designed to meet a wide variety of global testing needs.

Incline Impact testers are used to simulate the handling of crates, palletized loads, and rail car carriers. Several sizes are available for testing palletized loads and single products up to 12,000 lbs. (5,454 kg). Our complete line of impact recording instrumentation will also provide you with the qualitative results and documentation required to substantiate the performance of your product or packaged system.

L.A.B. VibraTest Series of mechanical shakers with a frequency range of 8-60 Hz, provide an effective approach for testing electronic products, batteries, and parts for loose components and hardware failures. Advance Machine Control(AMC+) comes standard with our VibraTest Series, which expands the capabilities of the machine even further.

Introducing ECO-Shaker: The Future of Energy-Optimized Vibration Testing

 

Vibration testing plays a crucial role in verifying the suitability of products for their intended use across various industries,adhering to international standards and procedures. Through careful examination and evaluation of the products' mechanical properties, the ECO-Shaker ensures that they meet the required criteria.

 

So how does the ECO-Shaker work? It utilizes an electric current within a magnetic field, generating force on the wire following "Flemmings Left Hand Rule." This advanced technology, similar to audio systems like CD players, is controlled by a vibration controller that precisely generates desired signals on the shaker.

 

One of the ECO-Shaker's key features is its energy-saving capabilities. It automatically and continuously sets the operating state withthe lowest power consumption. By employing an optimization formula that considers minimum energy usage for field, armature, and blower, it achieves high efficiency without phase control issues like hum or armature noise.

 

With step-less variation in field power, the ECO-Shaker can continuously adjust the field power from 5% to 100% automatically. As a result, even smaller values of field power can be achieved without adverse effects, leading to substantial energy savings, particularly when the test requirements are minimal.

 

The ECO-Shaker also offers comprehensive automation, allowing control of the amplifier's output power, field power, and blower speed. This, combined with continuous recording of system parameters and safety mechanisms, ensures smooth and reliable operation.

 

The system's advantages go beyond energy optimization. With an optimal ratio between velocity and force, it delivers better shock tests. Integration of all system components allows easy operation from a single place, promoting efficiency and convenience.

 

In terms of environmental impact, the ECO-Shaker significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Its design also extends the product life, contributing to overall environmental benefits. From a cost perspective, the ECO-Shaker brings savings in energy costs and reduces the need for noise control measures, leading to general cost advantages.

 

Additionally, its service manager offers status information, remote diagnostics, and extended diagnostic options, providing comprehensive support to users.

 

The ECO-Shaker ensures comfortable working conditions with minimal noise pollution and lower operating temperatures, making it a preferable choice for various applications.

 

Investment security is guaranteed with the possibility of retrofitting older systems and the assurance of innovations from the market leader, backed by more than 60 years of experience.

 

In summary, the ECO-Shaker represents the future of energy-optimized vibration testing, offering a highly innovative and versatile solution that combines efficiency, eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

ELSTAR - Shock Test Machines Article Count: 7

ELSTAR Elektronik AG manufacture a range of free-standing, high-speed shock machines which are designed to meet today’s stringent industry quality requirements.

All STM machines work on the principle of the shock table being elevated by a pneumatic ram to a precalculated height in a closed loop manner. The table is the allowed to free fall (or assisted) onto a set of shock pads which determine the shock form and duration.

 

Key features include:

  • Shock amplitude up to 2000g
  • Up to ~60 accurate shocks/min
  • Data acquisition with closed loop control
  • Payload up to max. of 200Kg (440 Pounds)
  • Clean and resonant free shocks
  • Free standing machine, with own seismic mass

 

Areas of application

Ideal for prototype or production testing (High shock repetition rate). Main markets include high end watch manufactures, military and defense contractors, aerospace, gas and petrol industries, electronic components, automotive parts, universities, and R&D departments.

Each machine has a performance diagram which clearly shows the working range in terms of the no shock amplitude and duration limits.

As the STM series is a free standing self-contained system with integrated seismic mass, there is no need for special site preparation.  All that is required at site is a4-6 bar high pressure air supply and single-phase AC connection.

 

IMPALA2 our data acquisition and closed loop control software gives great flexibility and is simple to operate.

Accurate, repeatable waveforms: The STM shock test machine gives results which meet a wide range of half sine test specifications, such as EN 60068-2-27, MIL STD 810, DEF STD 07-55, JIS-C, NHIS-90, NHIS-91 and BS 2011.
