Shock Response Spectrum Analysis
A Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) is a graphical presentation of a transient acceleration pulse’s potential to damage a structure. It plots the peak acceleration responses of a bank of single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) spring, mass damper systems all experiencing the same base-excitation as if on a rigid massless base. Each SDOF system has a different natural frequency; they all have the same viscous damping factor.

Multiple Shaker Control
EDM Multi-Shaker Control (MSC) is a software option included in the EDM testing package along with VCS. Multiple Shaker Control provides one centralized interface to interact with multiple controllers running separate tests at the same time. Multi-shaker controllers are not time synchronized unlike in MIMO VCS, in which all drives are time synchronized.

Automated Production Testing
Automated production testing is critical in today’s competitive manufacturing environment. Companies can no longer rely on variable costs, non-uniformity, and potential health hazards that come with a laborer-based manufacturing line. This is no less true for sound and vibration tests, ranging from in-process burn-in tests to product validation and verification tests.

MIMO Vibration Controller
Spider-80M
The Spider-80M platform is based on the efficient Spider-80Xi architecture and is dedicated to MIMO VCS control and MIMO structural testing applications. Each Spider-80M chassis features 8 outputs capable of carrying out 6-degree of freedom MIMO testing. One Spider-80M chassis and multiple Spider-80Xi chassis can chain together to form a very large system with up to 504 input channels.

Acoustic Control
Acoustic Control provides accurate control for high-level noise testing of reverberant chambers or progressive wave tubes. Based on the Spider hardware platform, Acoustic Control achieves quick and reliable control of the noise level to the reference octave spectrum and the overall sound pressure level (OASPL). Included safety features guarantee the safety of the unit under test.

MESA Vibration Control
MESA tests are specifically required when the unit under test is too heavy or too big and exceeds the capabilities of a single shaker. In a MESA application, multiple shakers provide excitation to the test specimen in a single axis. Different relations like same magnitude and phase for drives, different phase for drives, different magnitude and phase for drives, can be set for this MESA test.

Real Time Digital Filters
Real Time Digital Filters can be used to filter a measured signal in real time. Filter characteristics can be defined by the user to meet the requirements of a specific application. Real-time digital filters are applied in the data conditioning phase. The filters are designed with a graphic design tool and then uploaded to the front-end for real-time calculation. The graphic design tool defines the filter performance vertical axis with a dB scale. The horizontal axis is defined as relative frequency.
