Mitigating Vibration Input with Engineered Packaging Designs If you need to move products from their point of manufacture to their end-use destinations, you can expect that they’ll be exposed to vibration input during that journey.

Natural Frequency and Resonance Products and their sub-components, as well as packaging materials and structures possess what is called natural frequency.

A helpful way to think of vibration is in terms of sound. Though the audible frequency spectrum is higher than the transport vibration spectrum - sound is vibration.

When transporting products from one location to another, we use packaging materials and technologies to protect them from the various hazards present within the distribution environment.

Does your shock testing data acquisition instrumentation need a refresh? 

During the engineering and package design phase - often, a shock data acquisition system like Lansmont’s Test Partner is used to measure and monitor drop testing response to provide quantitative test results.

One key consideration for Drop Testers is their ability to deliver “flatness of drop.

Drop Tester – Impact not a Drop  The likelihood of free fall drops within the supply chain has decreased over time due to the growth of automation.

When we think of Distribution Simulation Testing, we typically always include drop/shock, vibration and compression testing in any related discussion.

Calibration delivers the confidence you need in your instrumentation and sensors - and the measurements you make with them, because even the most robust and reliable measurement systems can drift over time.

When SAVER shock and vibration data recorders are “on” and operational, they are continuously sampling the environment – never sleeping, never in a low-power mode.
