ISTA 3A Vibration Shaker 40kN Force 1-3000Hz Frequency Range

ISTA 3A Vibration Shaker Random Vibration Testing with and without Top Load

Our ISTA 3A Vibration Shaker is specifically designed for the rigorous demands of packaged product testing, providing a highly accurate platform to perform Random Vibration Testing with and without Top Load. The ISTA 3A test standard requires this dual-approach to simulate the dynamic stresses that occur during both single-parcel shipping and consolidated palletized transport. By providing a controlled and repeatable test environment, our shaker is an indispensable tool for optimizing packaging, reducing transit damage, and ensuring your products arrive at their destination intact and functional.

Key Features

• ISTA 3A Compliance: Fully configured to execute the specific vibration test profiles required for ISTA 3A, which is the standard for packaged products weighing 150 lbs (68 kg) or less. Our system supports both the single-parcel and top-load test conditions mandated by the standard.

• Random Vibration Capability: Utilizes a high-fidelity electrodynamic shaker to generate accurate and repeatable random vibration profiles, essential for simulating the unpredictable nature of real-world transit.

• Top-Load Simulation: The system is engineered to accommodate a top-load fixture, allowing you to accurately apply and control a compressive load on the test package while simultaneously conducting vibration testing. This is crucial for replicating the stresses of stacked shipping.

• High Payload Capacity: Designed to support a wide range of products, from individual packaged items to consolidated loads, ensuring flexibility for diverse testing needs.

• Advanced Digital Control System: Our user-friendly control software simplifies test setup and includes pre-programmed ISTA 3A profiles, allowing your team to start testing quickly and efficiently.

• Comprehensive Data Acquisition: Continuously monitors and records all vibration data (acceleration, displacement, etc.), providing detailed, auditable reports for compliance and analysis.

• Robust & Durable Construction: Built for continuous operation in a demanding test environment, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
