Vibration Control

Sine Vibration Control

Sine control is one of the two basic and most common excitation modes for Environmental Shaker testing.  This control mode performs real-time closed-loop control of swept sine vibration.

Sine Dwell Set-Up (incl. Resonance Search, Tracking and Phase Lock

  • Specifications as per Swept Sine
  • Dwell schedule table allows 50 dwell points to be defined
  • Each dwell can be a fixed frequency, fixed phase, peak amplitude search and track or defined phase search and track
  • Each dwell independently defines control (ref) and measurement channels
  • Dwell at each point for user-selectable seconds, minutes or cycles
  • User-controlled measurement data storage rate

Sine Displacement and Velocity Control

  • For sine testing starting at very low frequencies, displacement transducers can be used
  • At a defined frequency, the control changes automatically from displacement transducer to accelerometer transducer

Sine Data Reduction

  • Track and online analysis of taped swept sine data using the COLA signal
  • Evaluation and storage of the taped signals on a second vibration control system during the test run
  • Sine testing is used for proving product reliability and for structural resonance search in all kind of applications such as automotive, electronics, aerospace, consumer products and military
