In the demanding world of vibration testing, shakers play a crucial role in simulating real-world conditions for components ranging from aerospace parts to consumer electronics. As test labs increasingly operate under tight deadlines and high equipment utilisation, the XPA-K Remote Diagnostics feature is a vital tool to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of LDS V8000shaker systems, while remaining fully compliant with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which is set to become law for Europe and the UK in 2027.
XPA-K Remote Diagnostics involves monitoring and analysing a shaker’s performance data in real time from a remote location. It allows service engineers and maintenance personnel to detect issues, perform root cause analysis, and recommend corrective actions – often without setting foot in the test lab. Fifty per cent of incident occurrences can be solved remotely. We, HBK, can then ensure that the correct parts and service are defined prior to any physical visit.
This capability is enabled through a combination of on-board sensors , system logs, data acquisition tools, secure connectivity, and analytics platforms that track shaker health parameters such as:
This overview introduces the basics of vibration, key measurement parameters like acceleration, velocity and displacement, and the types of accelerometers used across various applications. Understanding these concepts is crucial for effective vibration analysis and troubleshooting.
As test environments grow more complex and demand for uptime intensifies, remote diagnostics for shakers is becoming an indispensable capability. It empowers organisations to safeguard equipment investments, optimise uptime, and deliver reliable test results – without sacrificing efficiency, security or response time.
Embracing this technology positions test labs to stay competitive, responsive, and ready for the future of intelligent testing systems.
