Drop Shock Testing for Products and Packaging

Drop Shock Testing for Products and Packaging

Many products will experience shock vibration during shipping and handling or in use. These shocks may be infrequent, such as an accidental drop or repetitive, as with transportation over rough road conditions. Vibration test engineers use shock testing to simulate these conditions in the lab and confirm the structural integrity of the device.

Types of Vibration Control

Types of Vibration Control

Vibration Research designs and manufactures leading edge vibration control systems for all brands of electrodynamic and servohydraulic shakers, as well as portable dynamic signal analyzers. Vibration control systems include hardware vibration controllers and the vibration control software, providing a multi-point control of complex structures, all with an intuitive user interface and easy setup.

Tips or guidance to consider before buying and operating a vibration shaker

Tips or guidance to consider before buying and operating a vibration shaker

In order to choose the right shaker, there are a few major specifications to consider such as frequency range and waveform, displacement and velocity, the number of axes to be tested, payloads and vibration/shock levels, and force rating.

SRS - Shock Response Spectrum

SRS - Shock Response Spectrum

The SRS is commonly used to characterize the frequency content of an acceleration time-history record. Shock response spectrum analysis is the maximum response of a series of single degree of freedom systems having the same damping to a given transient signal.

How to choose the right packaging testing methods – Shock Testing

How to choose the right packaging testing methods – Shock Testing

If you’re designing the packaging for a new product or a rebranding, you probably want to know how safe your goods will be and how customers will react to your packaging before you invest in a final design. With packaging testing, you can both satisfy consumer sentiment and choose the right packaging design for your product from the safety point of view.

Vibration Resistance of Electrical Equipment

Vibration Resistance of Electrical Equipment

Shock and vibration resistance gives information concerning the robustness of the mechanical design of a device. The methods for evaluating the vibration resistance are defined in IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068- 2-64. Electrical and electronic equipment are exposed to vibration in many applications and must withstand this without any degeneration, or even failure, in their function. Therefore, manufacturers of electrical and electronic devices put a great deal of effort into ensuring their instruments are prepared for such applications.

Random Vibration Testing

Random Vibration Testing

Random vibrations are the oscillations of mechanical systems excited by environments that vary randomly in time and, perhaps, space. Practically all real physical systems are subjected to random dynamic environments, and many systems will fail due to the effects of these exposures.

Sine Vibration Testing

Sine Vibration Testing

Sine Vibration Testing may be considered as the most basic vibration testing method used. This type of vibration testing requires less complex parameters compare to other type of vibration testing. Knowing the nature of sinusoidal signal, makes this type of vibration testing easier to understand and to get familiar with. Though, easier to understand does not make it less important compare to other type of vibration testing. Sine vibration testing may still be at the top rank when we are thinking of dynamic characteristic measurement.

Limitations of Existing Vibration Testing Systems

Limitations of Existing Vibration Testing Systems

The high force shaker (>70kN typically) vibration testing system is unable to handle larger test article and mass. The CG of such test articles cannot be easily controlled which can result in high overturning moment and causes great stress to the ball bearing assembly.

Running Test with Shock Test Machine

Running Test with Shock Test Machine

Running shock test by using Electrodynamic Shaker may be much more convenient for test engineer due to the close loop control process. Since test engineer can define the shock test profile easily and leave the vibration controller to handle the close loop process by itself.

Factors that IoT Products that Works Optimally in Real Life

To ensure the reliability of the product of IoT, a series of reliability tests need to be performed by using high-quality environmental testing machines such as: Vibration Test System, Shock Test System, Climatic Chamber, Rate Table, and EMC Chamber.

Which type of vibration test need to be used? Should I do Sine? Why not Random? Or Shock?

Which type of vibration test need to be used? Should I do Sine? Why not Random? Or Shock?

For some test engineers, this question may not be so relevant, since some vibration test are done by following certain test standard. But there are some cases, can be in automotive, aerospace, defence, or even railway, when test engineers need to tailor their own specific test procedure.
