Mechanical Environmental Simulation

Mechanical environmental simulation is used to investigate the loads to which a product is exposed during operation. These tests simulate real conditions to ensure that the components can withstand the mechanical requirements.

Simulation of Operating and Transportation Conditions

Vibration and Dynamic Loads

During the vibration test, the product is subjected to vibrations (load changes) in order to assess the effects on performance and durability. This can be relevant for both field operation and transportation conditions. The test typically includes different frequencies and amplitudes to get a comprehensive picture of the possible loads.

By simulating these dynamic loads, potential weak points can be identified and weaknesses in the design or materials can be uncovered. This is crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of the product in real-life application scenarios and to avoid potential damage during transportation.
