Transportation testing for precision devices

During transportation by truck, ship, airplane, train, etc., products are inevitably affected by vibration. Hence, precision devices need to be tested, through product evaluation, for their tolerance against vibration that occurs during transportation. More specifically, the way that products are vibrated is measured by applying simulated transportation vibration by controlling the amplitude, frequency, and acceleration with a vibration generator. During transportation testing, due to the possibility of lengthy or extended transportation, it is necessary to continuously apply vibration for one or more days to identify at which vibration level malfunctions occur and to analyze their causes. For this kind of long-duration testing, KEYENCE’s NR-X100 multi-input data collection system offers peace of mind thanks to its support for large-capacity CF cards.
