Vibration Testing - Test Houses

Test houses provide advanced capabilities to ensure comprehensive vibration testing. Key features include:

Wide Range of Shaker Systems

• Test houses typically offer various shakers to accommodate different payload sizes, frequency ranges, and acceleration levels

Custom Fixturing

• Custom design and fabricated fixtures securely hold test articles during vibration testing, ensuring uniform energy transfer

Scalability

• Test houses can handle a wide range of items, from small components to large assemblies like satellite structures or automotive chassis

Adherence to Standards

• Testing is conducted to meet industry-specific or customer-specified standards such as IEC, ASTM, ISO, MIL-STD.

Despite their advanced capabilities, test houses face several challenges, including:

High Demand for Testing

• The growing need for vibration testing across industries often exceeds available resources, resulting in longer wait times

Complex Fixture Requirements

• Designing and manufacturing fixtures for non-standard or large test items can be time-consuming and require high precision

Extreme Testing Parameters

• High-frequency, high-amplitude tests place significant strain on equipment, necessitating advanced maintenance protocols, LDS by HBK has a service team that is extremely responsive to customer needs. With maintenance contracts, and spare part availability key, we aim to maximise uptime

Varied Customer Needs

• Meeting diverse requirements across industries demands flexibility and extensive technical expertise
