Internationally, all means of transport and their individual components must be regularly tested and checked for material fatigue or changes. Such tests ensure that any damage is detected early on, guarantee service life and ensure safety in flight operations. Through ground vibration tests and structural analyses, weak points can already be detected and eliminated during the development of aircraft.
Countless sensors are therefore used for monitoring and analysis during development and production in the aviation and aerospace industry. SPEKTRA offers versatile and individually tailored solutions for these high-tech products.
APS Dynamics
Vibration exciters for modal and structural analysis
With our APS long-stroke shakers, vibrations can be introduced into individual components, larger structures or entire areas. The data from the installed vibration sensors can reveal possible weak points in the construction or processing method. These tests can also be used to create digital twins.
Alongside special power amplifiers and vibration control systems, components for various modes of operation are also available for this purpose. For example, the exciter can be firmly anchored to the ground or freely suspended from a structure.
Accredited calibration services
Specialized service – Tailored expert advice
We offer comprehensive calibration services in our accredited laboratory using our specialized in-house systems and personalized customer support. The performance of our DAkkS-accredited calibration laboratory D-K-15183-01-00 ranks among the best in the world. Using SPEKTRA calibration systems—which are identical in design to those used in many international metrology institutes—our laboratory ensures calibration services with the highest precision and minimal measurement uncertainties.
CS Q-LEAP™ Calibration System
Complete solution – flexible, efficient and forward-looking
The CS Q-LEAP™ calibration system from SPEKTRA sets new standards. By combining our HERO™ controller with various exciters, we can cover an extremely wide frequency range from 8 mHz to 350 kHz. A single system can be configured for different measurands such as acceleration, vibration, shock, acoustic parameters, rotation rate, pressure and others. It can process both analog and purely digital sensors and is fully traceable to the PTB.
The new service concept significantly minimizes downtime; modules can be calibrated individually and reconfigure themselves automatically after replacement. Our CS Q-LEAP™ software and eCal™ are also future-proof and already offer many advantages, such as a test item database and simple, flexible data exchange for, e.g., printable PDF calibration certificates or digital calibration certificates.
CS Q-LEAP™ SINE with vibration exciter SE-20
Sensor exciter for testing and calibration
Excite various measurands across a wide frequency range
Do you already have your own control system and are looking for the right calibration vibration exciter to test your sensor technology? SPEKTRA develops and manufactures a wide range of calibration exciters for vibration, shock, pressure and rotation rate which can be used in complete systems as well as in test systems for small devices under test.
Individual customer requirements can also be taken into account, e.g., to simplify the mounting of your special sensors.
Spring-guided vibration exciter SE-20
CV-10 Calibration System
Compact, robust and portable
In addition to the periodic monitoring of your measuring equipment, the mobile calibration system CV-10 allows you to carry out a quick and uncomplicated intermediate check of your sensor technology. For example, if you doubt the correct measurement of a sensor, you can check it immediately on-site.
