V-9 shaker tests heavy loads at high vibration reducing time and expense.
----
ORLANDO, Fla. (March 10, 2005) Sypris Test & Measurement, a subsidiary
of Sypris Solutions, Inc., today announced the addition of an LDS V9 Shaker System
at its Orlando test facility. The shaker is designed to test heavy loads at high
vibration levels over long periods of time, significantly reducing test time and
expense. The system consists of the V9 Shaker, a slip table and computer controlled
programs.
"The new shaker system can be used extensively to test avionics, military
hardware, automotive components and electronic assemblies," said Arvin Blank,
Sypris Test & Measurement Environmental Test Engineering Manager. "It is
a high-precision system that will put test items through their paces in the two
horizontal axes as well as the vertical axes. The sophisticated design provides
high-stress testing without putting sensitive aerospace and electronic payloads
at risk. It is also ideal for automotive NVH and squeak and rattle testing."
The V9 is one of the largest shakers in the world, with a three-inch stroke and
2,000 pounds capacity. Loads can be up to six feet in height, and 48"x48"
in width and depth. The shaker system's computer controller can operate random,
sine, shock, shock SRS, sine on random, and random on random programs with 8-channel
data acquisition.
"The V9 Shaker System reflects our continued commitment to meet the growing
demand for more rigorous and comprehensive testing, particularly in military and
aerospace fields," said Kathy Boyd, Sypris Test & Measurement president
and CEO.
