1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Modular Design
  • The testing system is constructed with a heavy-duty steel frame that provides exceptional stability and durability. The frame is designed in a modular fashion, allowing for easy customization and integration of different components. The vibration table and thermal shock chamber can be adjusted and configured to accommodate a wide variety of sample sizes and shapes. The modular design also facilitates future upgrades and modifications, ensuring that the equipment can adapt to evolving testing requirements.
• High-Performance Vibration Table
  • The vibration table incorporated into the system is engineered for precision and power. It can generate a wide range of vibration frequencies, typically from 5 Hz to 2000 Hz, covering the spectrum of vibrations encountered in many industrial applications. The amplitude of vibration can be precisely controlled, ranging from a few micrometers to several centimeters. The table is equipped with a high-torque motor and advanced servo control system, ensuring accurate and repeatable vibration patterns. It also features a rigid surface and excellent dynamic balance, minimizing any unwanted resonances or vibrations that could affect the test results.
• Advanced Thermal Shock Testing Chamber
  • The thermal shock chamber is designed to subject samples to rapid and extreme temperature changes. It can achieve temperature transitions from as low as -70°C to as high as +180°C within a remarkably short time frame. The chamber utilizes a dual-zone temperature control system, with separate hot and cold zones, and a rapid transfer mechanism to move samples between the zones. This enables the simulation of thermal shock conditions that occur, for example, when a component moves from a hot engine compartment to a cold external environment or vice versa. The chamber is also equipped with high-quality insulation to maintain temperature stability and prevent heat leakage.
• Synchronized Control and Data Acquisition
  • The system features a sophisticated control panel that allows for seamless synchronization of vibration and thermal shock parameters. Operators can precisely program the sequence and intensity of vibrations and temperature changes, creating custom test profiles. The control panel also provides real-time monitoring of all test parameters, including temperature, vibration frequency, amplitude, and sample status. The data acquisition system records detailed information about the test, such as temperature profiles, vibration waveforms, and any changes in the physical properties of the sample. The acquired data can be stored in a variety of formats and analyzed using specialized software to generate comprehensive test reports.
• Safety and Protection Mechanisms
  • To ensure the safety of operators and the integrity of the testing process, the system is equipped with a range of safety features. It has emergency stop buttons strategically located for immediate shutdown in case of any abnormal situation. The vibration table and thermal shock chamber are enclosed in a protective housing made of durable and heat-resistant materials. The housing is designed to contain any potential flying debris or leaks from the chamber. Additionally, the system has built-in safety interlocks that prevent unauthorized access or operation when the equipment is in use.

3. Specific Parameters

• Maximum Vibration Displacement
  • The vibration table can achieve a maximum displacement of ±50 mm. This significant displacement capacity allows for the simulation of severe vibration conditions, such as those experienced during off-road driving, earthquakes, or heavy machinery operation. For example, in testing the durability of automotive suspension components, a large vibration displacement can help uncover potential weaknesses in the design or material under extreme mechanical stress.
• Vibration Frequency Range
  • As mentioned, the frequency range of 5 Hz to 2000 Hz covers a wide spectrum of vibrations. Low-frequency vibrations can affect the stability and alignment of larger structures, while high-frequency vibrations can cause fatigue and failure in smaller, more delicate components. Testing across this frequency range ensures a comprehensive evaluation of a product's performance under different vibration scenarios.
• Thermal Shock Temperature Range
  • The ability to transition from -70°C to +180°C provides a broad range of thermal shock conditions. This is crucial for industries such as aerospace, where components may experience extreme temperature differences between outer space and re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. In electronics, it helps assess the reliability of components that may be exposed to rapid temperature changes during operation or storage.
• Temperature Transition Rate
  • The thermal shock chamber can achieve a temperature transition rate of up to 30°C per minute. This rapid rate of temperature change is essential for accurately simulating real-world thermal shock events. For instance, in testing the integrity of a ceramic insulator used in a high-power electrical device, a fast temperature transition can reveal any cracks or weaknesses that may develop due to thermal stress.
• Maximum Payload Capacity
  • The system has a maximum payload capacity of up to 1000 kg. This generous capacity allows for the testing of a wide range of products, from small electronic modules to larger mechanical assemblies. It enables manufacturers to test multiple components or complete systems simultaneously, increasing testing efficiency and providing a more accurate assessment of overall system performance.

4. Product Functions

• Comprehensive Environmental Stress Testing
  • The primary function of the equipment is to provide a realistic simulation of the combined effects of vibration and thermal shock. By subjecting samples to these stresses, it determines how well they can withstand the harsh conditions that may occur during their operational lifespan. This is invaluable for industries where product reliability is critical, such as aerospace and automotive, as it helps identify potential failure modes and allows for design improvements.
• Design Optimization and Validation
  • Through a series of tests on different product prototypes, manufacturers can use the data obtained from the system to optimize their designs. They can analyze the performance of various materials, component geometries, and manufacturing processes under combined vibration and thermal shock conditions. For example, an electronics manufacturer can study the effect of using different types of solder joints and circuit board materials on the reliability of a product when exposed to rapid temperature changes and vibrations. By making informed design decisions based on the test results, they can create more robust and reliable products.
• Quality Control and Compliance Testing
  • The equipment is an essential tool for quality control in many industries. It allows companies to ensure that each batch of products meets the required durability and performance standards. It can also be used to conduct compliance testing to meet industry regulations and customer specifications. For instance, a military equipment manufacturer may need to demonstrate that their products can withstand the specific vibration and thermal shock requirements set by military standards, and this system can provide the necessary data to prove compliance.
• Research and Development Support
  • In the field of research and development, the combined vibration table and thermal shock chamber offers valuable insights. Researchers can use it to study the fundamental behavior of materials and components under complex environmental stresses. They can explore new materials and technologies that are more resistant to vibration and thermal shock. For example, a materials science research team may use the equipment to test the performance of a new composite material and analyze its potential applications in high-performance engineering applications.
