There are two vibration facilities available at Stevenage capable of delivering 160 kN and 40kN of dynamic force, in 3 orthogonal axes. This enables us to test a wide range of products ranging from small components of a few grams, up to large payloads of several tonnes. Both vibration tables are driven by the latest digital controllers capable of sine, random and shock profiles that can excite at levels from 0.1 to 100g up to 2000 Hz.
Multiple channels of data may be recorded and analysed in real time from our control room. The latest system allows up to 120 channels of data to be analysed simultaneously. Or with the addition of a second recorder, a further 40 channels can be added.
