Sound and Vibration Testing Machines

A sound and vibration testing machine tests the performance of automotive seat track assemblies.  The machine consists of:

• test stand to stand properly fixtures the seat track assembly to mimic its mounting in the vehicle.  The test stand also applies a weight to mimic a 70kg user.
• power supply and connection system, that is able to manipulate the seat track through all of its motions
• accelerometers that “detect” vibration
• linear position sensors
• data collection hardware and a PC, that uses the vibration and linear position data to make a judgment as to if the seat track assembly is of an acceptable quality

Other features:

• Tilt out part loading for ergonomics
• Seat track traceability via a bar code and interaction with the plant database

Capability to communicate and store test data on a plant network.
