TEST EQUIPMENT

Vibration test equipment is necessary to check if a certain product passes the vibration test benchmark or standard.

Depending on the product being tested, there are several types of test equipment aside from the aforementioned vibration test equipment; there is the audio test equipment, fiber optic test equipment, and many others, depending on what parameter is being measured.

Most consumer products make use of vibration test equipment because most of them are subject to varying levels of vibration as a normal part of its usage. The main purpose of vibration test equipment is to ensure that these products can withstand a decent amount of shock and vibration, and not easily break from the rigors of daily use.

THE NEED FOR QUALITY PRODUCTS

Vibration test equipment subjects various products from the portable watches, mobile phones and laptops, to appliances such as TV’s and vehicles. Each of these products has specific vibration thresholds that they must not go below. Vibration test equipment is used to ensure that each of these products can withstand a certain vibration level.

Usually the vibration thresholds are calibrated to exceed the usual vibration that a product is subject to in its regular use. Vibration test equipment will measure this threshold by applying a certain amount of force, gradually increasing in value until the product breaks or malfunctions. The breaking point value is then checked against the standard. If the value fails to meet the minimum performance benchmark, then the product must be redesigned. This process is usually repeated until the standard is met, even exceeded.

Vibration test equipment, or any test equipment for the matter, is used by manufacturers to ensure that the product they are making passes a certain level of quality. Manufacturers must make better quality products because it is the only way for them to get a solid and loyal client base.
