Sypris Test and Measurement Expands Vibration Testing Services; V9 Shaker Tests Heavy Loads at High Vibration Reducing Time And Expense.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sypris Test & Measurement, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc., today announced the addition of an LDS V9 Shaker System at its Orlando test facility. The shaker is designed to test heavy loads at high vibration levels over long periods of time, significantly reducing test time and expense. The system consists of the V9 Shaker, a slip table and computer controlled programs.

"The new shaker system can be used extensively to test avionics, military hardware, automotive components and electronic assemblies," said Arvin Blank, Sypris Test & Measurement Environmental Test Engineering Manager. "It is a high-precision system that will put test items through their paces in the two horizontal axes as well as the vertical axes. The sophisticated design provides high-stress testing without putting sensitive aerospace and electronic payloads at risk. It is also ideal for automotive NVH and squeak and rattle testing."

The V9 is one of the largest shakers in the world, with a three-inch stroke and 2,000 pounds capacity. Loads can be up to six feet in height, and 48"x48" in width and depth. The shaker system's computer controller can operate random, sine, shock, shock SRS, sine on random, and random on random programs with 8-channel data acquisition.

"The V9 Shaker System reflects our continued commitment to meet the growing demand for more rigorous and comprehensive testing, particularly in military and aerospace fields," said Kathy Boyd, Sypris Test & Measurement president and CEO.
