High-velocity shock testing
Where a test requires a high shock velocity, traditional shaker systems use a matching transformer to achieve the necessary lower field voltage. Since IMV’s ECO-system
has complete control over the field level, the field value can be adjusted to increase the maximum shock velocity capability of the system by entering the specified shockprofile into IMV’s K2 controller. The field level in the shaker is automatically adjusted to ensure that the required velocity is achieved. A-series (EM amplifier model)
provides a maximum of 138 inp-p shock velocity testing.

A new standard created through listening to our customers.
A wider range of test requirements and higher test specifications.
A-series meets the needs for such a versatile test environment.
Advanced automatic energy-saving, high level of functionality and a protected test environment.
A-series provides a better working environment for vibration testing.

ST: Oil Film Type
This version is supported by an oil film. It creates a constant oil film at the opposite side of the table, letting the table slide with low friction. The oil pump unit is located in
the slip table base. Since the amount of moving mass is small, it has become one of the most well-known slip tables in the industry and has a substantial sales record.

TT-L: Hydrostatic Bearing (Low Pressure)/TT-H: Hydrostatic Bearing (High Pressure)Features multiple hydrostatic bearings on a high, rigid base to support the slip table. The hydrostatic bearings are uniquely designed to support ahigh load and high eccentric moment. Bearings are built in heat-insulated oil tanks and a whole table unit fits inside a chamber. Therefore there isno need to attach a thermal barrier. Moreover, the structure does not require elastic rubber to connect the table plate and chamber bottom.

MB: Mechanical Bearing
The mechanical bearing employs a linear motion guide which utilizes a component with a linear rolling motion. It significantly contributes to the highperformance of tables which have high rigidity and high load and have long stroke motion. Another strong feature of the mechanical bearing is its easy
operability, since it is lightweight and has no need for a hydraulic unit.

IMV has a range of fixtures, such as cube- and ‘L’-shaped types, to suit most applications.
Custom fixtures are supplied, designed and analysed using finite-element modeling to ensure best performance.

A soundproof enclosure for the cooling blower reduces
noise in installations where the blower cannot be locatedoutside the work area.

Vibration Isolation
Additional isolation mounts are available to reduce the effects of vibration on the floor and adjacent equipment.

Insulation pad
These are simple to install by placing
under the vibration generator.

Air spring
Air springs placed under eachcorner of the frame support thevibration generator and are an
excellent way to isolate vibration

The standard arrangement for air-cooled systems is
to install the blower outside the work area.
Ducting the input air from outside eliminates thechanges in ambient pressure and temperaturecaused by the cooling air flow.

Reinforcement
Load-spreader base
The weight of the vibration generator canbe distributed over a larger area where
the maximum allowable floor loading islimited.

39[Vibration Controller] K2+• R_DWELL: Resonance Dwell
Resonance is detected by measuring the phasedifference between the control point and the
response signal from a resonant part of the item
under test.
The test frequency is controlled inorder to maintain resonance as the structure
fatigues. After holding at the same resonance for a
pre-defined duration, sweeping can be resumed
until the next resonance is detected.
• A_DWELL: Amplitude Dwell
A transmissibility plot is taken from two points on the
structure under test and resonances listed. A sinetest can then be run at each resonant frequency, withtracking of the resonance by either amplitude orphase.
• LIMIT CONTROL
Response channels can be specified as limit control
channels. If the level on a limit control channel
would exceed its limit, the test level is r e d u c e daccordingly.
• Multi Sweep Sine
A traditional wide-band sine sweep is divided into
several narrower-band sine sweeps, which when
added together combine to cover the original wideband. Running the narrow band sweeps in parallelsignificantly reduces the test time required.
• SOR: Sine on Random
Random vibration and sine vibration frequencies
are combined.
Sine vibration can be swept.
• ROR: Random on Random
Broad-band random combined with sweeping or
non-sweeping narrow-band random overlaid.
• EXTENDED ROR
The extended ROR makes it possible tooperate an ROR test with greater freedom
when defining separate NBR references.
• PSD LIMIT: PSD limit control
Response channels can be specified as limit
control channels. If the PSD on a limit control
channel would exceed its limit, the test level isreduced over that range of frequencies to keepwith the limit level.
• Non-Gaussian
A vibration testing method which precisely
reproduces non-Gaussian vibration, such astransportation vibrations with large spikes.
• Soft-Clipping
A clipping function that can reduce the peak value ofthe output voltage without affecting control
performance.
• LONG WAVEFORM
The length of a reference waveform is a standard 16
K points. This can be increased to 200 K points byadding the LONG WAVEFORM option. At a sampling
frequency of 512 Hz for example, this produces
approximately 6.5 minutes of waveform, compared tothe standard length of approximately 30 seconds.
• MEGAPOINT
A further increase in waveform duration can beobtained by adding the MEGAPOINT option to the
LONG WAVEFORM option. This increases therecord length to 5000 K points, about 163 minutes
at 512 Hz sampling rate.
• SRS: Shock Response Spectrum
SRS (Shock Response Spectrum) can execute a
test in which the test conditions and evaluation are
conducted not based on waveform itself, but on
SRS analysis.
With a standard shock test selected, SRS analysisof response waveform is also possible.

Technical Guidance
For installation of vibration test systems

Basic units used for vibration test
There are four important units for a vibration test. Force [N], Acceleration [m/s2], Velocity [m/s], and Displacement [mm peak-to-peak(p-p)]
The force “F” required to give an object of mass, “m” acceleration “A” is:

F=mA

F: force
m: mass
A: acceleration

SI units[N][kg][m/s2]

Gravitational units
[kgf]
[kg]
[G]

That is to say, when a mass of 1 kg is accelerated to an acceleration of 1 m/s2 the required force is 1 N. Gravitational acceleration“G” equals to 9.8 m/s2.
To describe vibration, frequency and vibration level need to be
specified. Vibration is a form of movement with a consequent
relationship between acceleration, velocity and displacement. To
describe vibration level, any of these units can be used. Here are
the relationships between each of the units.
We have an object moving in a sine wave.
The displacement is:
D = D0 sinωt
The velocity is obtained by differentiation of the displacement. Therefore
V = dD
The acceleration is obtained by differentiation of the velocity. Therefore
A = dV

About [dB]

we can read the value even if it is 1/100 or 1/1000 of the maximumof physical quantities. Especially, in cases where one value isvalue. We use a logarithmic graph for such a benefit.

use the logarithmic scale “dB” instead of a linear scale. This makes

We often use the graph below when running a Sine vibration test.

B = 10 20 = 31.62

From this equation we can read that acceleration A is increased 1030times when frequency f is also increased 10 times. On the graph

A×B = 17.78×31.62 = 562.3 = 20 log 562.3 = 55 [dB]below, we see that the acceleration increases to 100 m/s2 from 10

Principles of operation

Mechanism of vibration test systems
Signal flow, voltage/current supply in single-axis system

Vibration controller

This principle is similar to audio systems where electronic signals
from different sources (e.g. CDs) are amplified and converted tosound by loudspeakers. For vibration test systems, the vibration
generators correspond to the loudspeakers of the audio systems.
They have vibration controllers instead of a sound source to drive
the vibration generators feeding the electric current through theamplifiers. The difference is that the signals from the transducers
mounted on the specimens and/or vibration tables to monitor theirmotions are fed back to the vibration controllers in order to control
the vibrations and meet the requested test conditions.

The original waveforms will not be reproduced by merely applying
the vibration data obtained in the field or from test specimens. The
waveforms will be totally deformed due to the characteristics of theamplifiers and combined dynamics of the vibration generators andtest specimens. The vibration controllers cause the vibration generators to generate the designated vibration and automaticallycompensate for these dynamics. All IMV vibration controllers arecustomized for each of our clients in order to meet their particularneeds. We always put the customer first and make our products
user-friendly.

Power amplifier
The role of the power amplifier is to feed driving current to thevibration generator, converting the small electrical signal generated
in the vibration controller to the large current of higher voltage. IMV’s

specimen is, the more important this becomes. Our PS guidancesystem (Parallel Support Guide) realizes a 130% increase in rigidity
over conventional models with the same force range. It has enabled
specimens whose centers of gravity are not located on the centerline of the vibration table to be tested at a higher acceleration.

The vibration generator receives
dynamic stress from its own
vibration. The patented Parallel
Support Guide (PSG) design can
support the armature. PSG significantly improves durability, reliabilityof the system, and quality ofvibration at the same time. This
compact design provides enoughstiffness to exceed functions of the roller support system andachieves high durability, producing a self-holding supporting systemthrough the alternative alignment of uniquely-curved gears.

Usually lateral rigidity and waveform accuracy conflict with each other.
The PS Guidance system makes their compatibility possible. It enables
vibrations of lower waveform distortion to be combined with high fidelity.
