Increased demand from automotive suppliers for quicker tests gto speed up their productivity has prompted EDAG Engineering to expand its automotive test capabilities with a new V8 shaker and guided head expander. EDAG is a specialist in assessing the effects of vibration on large structures, such as car frames.

To boost its Munich-based test facility’s output, EDAG chose Brüel & Kjær’s V8 high force shaker and a guided head expander, which is large enough to bear various vehicle parts. This enables its engineers to test maximum displacement, velocity and force at the same time.

The system also has an acoustic enclosure for its air-cooling system, which protects the engineers’ hearing, as it reduces the noise levels during tests.

EDAG also invested in a five-year platinum service contract from Brüel & Kjær. The contract includes regular equipment servicing and readily available technical help, by telephone or on-site assistance.
