Can You Prove What The Conditions Were Inside Your Chamber?
In test and measurement environments, the integrity of your data depends entirely on the integrity of the conditions it was generated under. A climatic chamber that displays the correct setpoint and a chamber that can document verified conditions throughout its working volume and UUT are not the same thing, and the difference matters when your […]
Leak Testing Methods: A Complete Guide | innomatec
Leak testing is a critical quality control process across manufacturing industries. An undetected leak can compromise product performance, lead to costly field failures, and damage customer trust. With multiple methodologies available, selecting the right one requires careful evaluation. Defining “Leak-Tight”: What It Really Means No component is completely leak-proof; all materials permit some degree of […]

A Practical Guide to Designing and Building a Head Expander
Designing a head expander can feel like a careful balancing act. It needs to be large enough to support the test article, stiff enough to maintain control, and strong enough to withstand demanding vibration environments, all while remaining light enough not to compromise shaker performance. The good news is that established research and industry practice […]
Advanced Control Strategies for Single Axis Vibration Testing
Emphasis on MultiPoint Response Control and Force Limited Vibration Testing 1. Introduction Single axis electrodynamic shaker testing is widely used to qualify aerospace, automotive, and electronic hardware. While this approach is well established, traditional acceleration-controlled testing does not always represent real operational conditions. The interface between the shaker and the test article is typically much […]
6 Essential Shaker Test Tips Every Engineer Should Know
Vibration testing on an electrodynamic shaker is a standard part of product qualification, yet critical details are often overlooked. Many test failures and even false passes can be traced back to missing fundamentals. Before you press “Run” on your next shaker test, take a moment to review these six key tips. They can help you understand why test […]
Placing Control and Measurement Accelerometers During Shaker Tests
Getting accelerometer placement right is one of the most critical aspects of any vibration test. It directly affects what the controller “sees,” how the shaker responds, and ultimately whether your results are valid or misleading. The challenge is that most test standards do not clearly define where sensors should be placed, so engineers must rely […]
