Advanced Field-to-Lab Load Reproduction

Record vibration and shock events on heavy machinery or earth-moving equipment and import them directly into m+p VibControl. Time signals can be edited, combined, and replayed on electrodynamic or hydraulic shakers to reproduce realistic operating conditions. This supports accurate durability evaluations and failure investigations while ensuring compliance with ISO 20816 and providing highly realistic mechanical excitation.

Rotational and Torsional Vibration Analysis

Heavy-duty machines feature rotating drums, shafts, and actuators prone to speed-dependent vibration. m+p Analyzer delivers specialized tools for rotational and torsional analysis to identify resonances, imbalance, and order-related responses. This enables your engineers to optimize driveline components and mechanical subsystems in demanding machinery testing environments.

Operational Modal Analysis for Large Structures

Large machine structures are often difficult to excite using controlled forces. Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) captures dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, damping, and mode shapes under realistic operating conditions. This approach is ideal for evaluating frames, attachments and housings used in heavy equipment testing, where controlled excitation is impractical.
