The VR9500 Vibration Controller - A Revolution through Innovation 26,000 Lines of Resolution, 100dB Random Dynamic Range, Front Panel Status LED's and a Three Year Warranty

vr9500 Vibration Controller

The advantage in this vibration controller is clear - Innovation. This 5th generation controller represents the features that customers wanted and combined with significant advancements in vibration control technology that it can only be dubbed by a single word: Revolution.

What's New:

  • Unprecedented 26,000 Spectral Lines – an Industry Maximum
  • Control Sine, Random or Shock to 50,000 Hz
  • 241 Sample Rates from 100 Hz to 200,000 Hz
  • Extremely Low Noise Floor (<70nV/√Hz)
  • Up to 32 True Floating-Point Sine Tones with Sine on Random
  • <-100 dB THD+N
  • >130 dB Dynamic Range
  • Front input status LED's with 200VAC peak fuse protection
  • Redundant Calibration Monitoring
  • *** 3 Year Warranty ***

Hardware:

  • The Revolution uses a high speed RISC processor, which is capable of quickly processing large amounts of data.
  • Runs vibration tests efficiently at both low and high sample rates, and with up to 26,000 lines of resolution for random testing.
  • Does NOT require any board in the PC. All the critical calculations are done directly in the hardware box, with the results communicated via Ethernet connection to the PC.
  • The PC is only used for user interface and data storage so the PC requirements are quite low.
  • From 1 to 128 input channels (in blocks of 4 channel controllers).
  • Up to 4 simultaneous control loops.
  • Ethernet connection.
  • Eliminates the grounding issues created by a USB connection or PCI cards.
  • Ethernet is great for getting rid of 50/60 Hz noise problems.
  • TEDS Interface - the software reads the calibration information right off of the accelerometers (if available).
  • Power requirements: 90-250VAC, 50/60Hz, 1.2/0.7A.

Software:

Electrodynamic Shakers - Up to 500 lbs. (222 kg) Force

Smaller Force Shakers for General Purpose Vibration Testing

Five Electrodynamic Shakers

Vibration Research's comprehensive line of small permanent magnet, electro-dynamic shakers and vibration controllers are ideally suited for production screening of small components, subassemblies or for larger transducer calibration systems. The following is a sample of the options and capabilities of the shaker line, the Model VR5800. Fill out the form on the right with questions or to receive additional information from KB.

Model VR5800:

The VR5800 is the largest of the current family of Vibration Research Corporation vibration test systems. Electrodynamic shaker systems consist of a shaker and a matching linear direct-coupled power amplifier. Additional components are then added to the basic system to tailor it to your specific needs. Your small system concerns deserve the same attention given to larger, more expensive system requirements. Unlike other manufacturers, VRC has designed and manufactured both its shakers and matching amplifiers in-tandem. This insures that the components will provide optimal performance across the broad range of possible test applications and that application and service information is available with one call to the source.

System Components:

  • Electrodynamic Shaker VR580.
  • Linear Power Amplifier VR585

Shaker Options:

  • Vibration isolation mounts.
  • Pneumatic payload support.
  • DuoBase horizontal/vertical table.
  • Thermal chamber interface.
  • Metric inserts.
  • Head plates and fixtures.
  • Vibration controller.
  • Rack cabinet.
