Shock & Vibration Testing and Evaluation
Benefits: Under controlled laboratory conditions, exposure to environmental vibration and shock loads may be simulated with customer identified test profiles and specifications to comply with quality and safety requirements. The outcomes of shock and vibration testing are improved
- product performance,
- increased product reliability,
- shortened development cycles,
- reduced product support costs, and
- heightened product marketability.
Type of testing: Vibration and shock testing is an important part of product performance and evaluation. Vibration and shock testing may be used to evaluate products and packaging for their predicted
- performance,
- functionality,
- life,
- radiated noise, and
- influence of environmental dynamics.
Vibration and shock testing may also be used to evaluate products and packages for design purposes and to determine influence of packaging techniques and modes of transportation. Our facility has the capability to perform tests on individual components and well as complete systems.
