Sine control

Sine control enables you to easily and quickly identify structural resonances in your test objects with a sine sweep test. This module controls acceleration, velocity, displacement, and force. It ensures compliance and guarantees safe testing with up to 20 kHz and optionally higher.

Sine control 

Efficiency

Standard-compliant testing without computational effort: Specify either sweep rate or sweep duration - Sine Control calculates the rest automatically. Online transfer functions make resonance searches fast and transparent, saving you valuable time.

Safety

You can rely on maximum safety for the specimen and system: the integrated self-check detects discrepancies before the test starts, while definable shutdown times ensure a controlled and gentle shutdown.

Flexibility

Whether simple standard tests or highly complex sweep tables - you decide how much detail you want to go into. Sine Control adapts to your requirements and offers complete freedom between “plug & play” and the finest parameterization.

 

Quality

Rely on adaptive, frequency-based control for maximum precision in the sweep. Never lose data again - your results are fully retained even if the test is aborted. And with integrated analysis functions such as resonance evaluation and Q-factor calculation, you can quickly gain reliable insights.

Test with ease and accuracy

Our sine control software is intuitive to use and makes even complex tests easy. Test progress is clearly displayed. During testing, you can copy data, schedule intermediate and perform manual measurements, or pause in standby mode. Adaptive time block length ensures maximum accuracy by minimizing control errors.

Easily interpret test data

Visualize your sine wave in the time domain and easily switch between acceleration, displacement, and velocity values thanks to online integration and differentiation. For simplified analysis, apply measurement filters for RMS, peak, averaged, or digital tracking independently or together.

Find resonances faster 

Online displays of phase and amplitude spectra or transfer functions make understanding natural resonances more convenient. You can also use these transfer functions as a reference signal to quickly detect resonance shifts online after load tests.

 

No data loss

Even if your test aborts, your results are saved, allowing you to easily continue testing without restarting. For a smooth transition you can manually adjust the signal.

Applications for sine control

Useful additional modules

Excite your specimen with a real random pattern to perform more realistic simulations.

Perform transient excitations to simulate shock loads on the specimen.

Simulate environments in which random excitations are mixed with superimposed harmonic or random loads, such as those occurring in a helicopter or tank.

Expand your channel count by synchronizing your DAQ system with other vibration controllers.

Use our throughput function to have a comprehensive signal base for further processing, for analysing short-term events during the test or for troubleshooting.

Testing with heavy specimens and several shakers or excitation in 3 axes simultaneously? Coupled or decoupled? With our multi-shaker solutions, you can carry out demanding tests safely and precisely.

Identify the breaking point of your test object during product development durability tests by holding and vibrating it at its natural resonance even if the frequency shifts.

Easily visualize the deflection shapes of a machine or structure, whether in operation or on a test bench.

Protect your specimen and system from overtesting by using targeted notch control to limit vibrations.

Carry out more realistic tests with increased system safety and better protection of the vibration exciter, e.g. when testing higher structures. The essential functions for a professional force limited vibration test are also provided.

Monitor your test stands using a higher-level tool and create clarity and structure in the large variety of signals.

Handle high-frequency shaker tests on components such as control units, sensors, or gyroscopes, by increasing the control frequency from 20 kHz to 40 kHz.

Automate repetitive test sequences, such as a resonance-random-resonance search in a flexible schedule plan. This module also allows the controlled combination with external devices such as climatic chambers.

Integrate your tests into your IT environment for advanced automation and remote monitoring.

Calibrate your sensors in-house and benefit from a complete out-of-the-box system.

Easily and quickly create custom reports that meet your individual requirements.
