Vibration testing is performed to simulate the impact a component or system is exposed to throughout its life. Many sectors, especially the defense and automotive sector, want to see the durability of the products they produce under vibration before they are sold. Performing these tests in the laboratory instead of the field is preferred in terms of cost, time and safety.


Vibration profiles to be applied can be determined according to the standards, or can be created by collecting data on the component according to usage conditions.


The two biggest main elements to perform the vibration test are the shaker and the controller. While performing the shaking vibration test, its motion and accuracy are adjusted by the controller. Tests that can be done using the controller are as follows:


1. Sine

2. Sine Resonance Track & Dwell (SRTD)

3. Accelerometer Calibration

4. Random

5. Fatigue Damage Spectrum (FDS)

6. Kurtosion

7. Instant Degree of Freedom (iDOF)

8. Sine on Random

9. Sine on Sine

10. Random on Random

11. Sine and Random on Random

12. Shock

13. Shock Response Spectrum (SRS)

14. User Defined Transient

15. Field Data Replication

16. Sine Trackıng Analytics General (STAG)


This is often mandatory in the defense industry. Although R & D is sometimes involved in these studies, quality units are often responsible.
