We provide custom-engineered fixtures that greatly expand your options for mounting and testing multiple objects on a single shaker system. By incorporating L-shaped or T-shaped configurations, these fixtures establish a dedicated vertical or perpendicular mounting surface, effectively eliminating the need for costly slip table attachments. Instead of relying on separate components, the test article can simply be mounted onto the L or T fixture, offering a highly cost-effective and streamlined approach to multi-axis vibration testing.

Why Custom Fixtures?

1. Enhanced Versatility
Traditional shaker systems are often limited to a single orientation or axis. Our fixtures solve this limitation by adding at least one vertical mounting plane. This arrangement allows for two axes of vibration—achieved through rotation of the test article—enabling more comprehensive evaluations of product behavior under realistic operational conditions.

2. Cost Savings
Slip tables can be expensive and may not always be necessary. By using these custom fixtures, you bypass the investment in additional hardware, reducing overall setup costs without compromising test accuracy or thoroughness.

3. Adaptability for Various Test Articles
Each fixture is designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating diverse shapes, sizes, and weights of test objects. Whether you’re testing small electronics, automotive components, or larger assemblies, the L or T configuration offers an adaptable solution that can be tailored to your requirements.

Our Design Process

1. Requirement Gathering
We begin by understanding your specific testing objectives—such as desired frequency range, test specimen mass, geometric constraints, and the types of vibrations or stresses to be replicated.

2. Software Simulation and Analysis
Using specialized engineering and simulation tools, our team conducts virtual testing to predict how the fixture will behave under various load conditions. This ensures the final fixture design can withstand the forces involved, maintain stability, and avoid unintended resonances that could compromise test integrity.

3. Iterative Refinement
We refine the fixture design based on simulation data, optimizing materials, geometry, and weight distribution to create a reliable, durable product. This may involve selecting specific alloys for high strength-to-weight ratios or adding reinforcements to key stress points.

4. Prototyping and Final Production
After validating the design in simulation, we proceed to manufacture a prototype if necessary, performing any final adjustments before delivering a fully production-ready fixture. Our manufacturing processes adhere to industry best practices, ensuring consistent quality and long-term reliability.
