Vibration test and measurement specialist launches a new air-cooled medium-force shaker system for high volume test applications
To help high volume users of vibration test systems at automotive companies and test houses cope with increasing demand for high levels of vibration and shock testing while keeping expenses down to a minimum, Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK) has created its new medium-force, air cooled LDS V8800 shaker system.
According to HBK, this new piece of test equipment provides a comprehensive and reliable approach with everything that is needed for accurate and high-performance vibration tests, along with an efficiency that goes far beyond saving time.
Medium Force System
The LDS V8800 series shaker system was developed for use in a variety of R&D, testing and production scenarios, such as component and subsystem durability tests, general load testing or product qualification and packaging testing within the automotive, aerospace and defence, transport and packaging industries. It is suitable for high-acceleration shock tests and has an internal load support capability of 700 kg. It can be used in house by companies that perform frequent product or development tests or is ideal for being deployed in test houses where its flexibility enables it to be used across a variety of applications and product sizes.
The system features a maintenance-free Inductive Centring System (ICS), leading to increased reliability due to being unaffected by unfavourable environmental conditions such as dust or heat.
The COOL and QUIET modes, which automatically adjust system settings to reduce the energy consumption required for a test, or, if possible, operate the shaker without a fan, save costs and reduce the noise associated with standard tests.
It has the capability of using remote service capabilities, which help to ensure low inspection risks, maximum availability and a long-term return on investment of the V8800 + XPA-K shaker system.
