As a business, ensuring the safety and integrity of your products during transit is paramount.
Packaging is a critical part of delivering products safely and successfully to your customers.
There are numerous package testing methods you can implement into your processes to ensure your products are safeguarded against shipping damage, including:
ASTM D-4169 – Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems.
Shock and vibration environmental data recorders (SAVERs™) produce high-fidelity, quantifiable data and analytics that are used to assess and confidently characterize the potential hazards in the transport environments.
It reminded us again that aerospace assets travel overland, through the air, in the sea, and finally up into space. So what is considered 'normal transport and operating conditions can be pretty extreme in our industry?
Over four days, Atlantic hosted more than 300 visitors from the US, Canada and Mexico where they introduced equipment, technology and capability that has never existed in one location like this before. Atlantic will utilize the tools and technologies em
After establishing improved confidence in identifying tire effects on vehicle ride quality, I finally decided it was time to replace my tires all together.
Additionally, we can use SaverXware ETC‘s cutoff filtering utility to further focus our view to just the bandwidth of specific interest, which allows us to emphasize the before and after change in ride quality from the lateral and longitudinal
We can further present that data in a comparative plot that more clearly defines the magnitude of the ride quality changes after changing the tires.
Another common, maybe simpler way of describing a PSD is in-terms of its shape and intensity. PSD plots are assembled from plotting amplitude (y-axis) vs. frequency (x-axis) breakpoints.
For instance, it’s possible to distinguish an air-ride and leaf-spring vehicle suspension based upon the measured PSD. It’s also possible to distinguish the speed, or the range of speed of the vehicle and the quality of the tires/wheels.
I recently experienced a situation where my car had developed a noticeable wobble, resulting in the car feeling like it was shaking abnormally intensely from side-to-side.
I proceeded to head out on a predetermined route – a loop of about 15 miles in length, which included local surface roads, higher-speed country roads and a short segment of freeway. SaverXware allows for
When looking at individual time-domain events where the bottle interaction was prominent and noticeable, it was evident that the lateral dynamic (red) was just as large, if not larger than the vertical input (yellow).
Generating a PSD plot from that one time-domain data shows that the sinusoidal characteristic had a primary resonant frequency characteristic of about 14.5 Hz. In addition to the significance of the input on both the lateral and vertical channels, one c
Shock test data is key information when determining if your product is capable of withstanding its intended distribution and use environment. For any mechanical shock testing application, Lansmont builds a Shock Test System to meet your needs.
Data acquisition systems are critical for both product and package dynamic testing scenarios.
Test Partner is a computer-based system for shock data logging. Our models integrate with your computer system to acquire advanced, high-fidelity data during drop, shock, and impact tests.
At Lansmont, we carry two different Test Partner models. While both operate on the same foundational principles, they each come with their own unique characteristics.
Test Partner supports many industries and applications with its ability to adapt to a range of test events. This shock data capture equipment offers value to high-precision industries where accurate, defendable test results are a must.
Headquartered in Monterey, California, Lansmont Corporation provides state-of-the-art shock and vibration measurement and testing technology to the world’s leading companies, government laboratories and educational institutions.
Lansmont products measure real-world dynamics and simulate them in laboratory environments – delivering Field-to-Lab® solutions.
