Speech by CENTROTECNICA at InnoTesting 2025

We are thankful for the invitation to present our innovations at InnoTesting 2025, the German meeting that aims to take the state-of-the-art in vibration testing.

We are extremely pleased that our research presented at IAC 2024 is attracting growing interest, supporting the contribution to innovation that is the core pillar of CENTROTECNICA's activities.

Andrea Cambiaghi, the general manager, illustrated the following topics:

- How the so called semi-defined-single-degree-of-freedom model can explain the influence of the shaker armature and slip table on the DUT and the antiresonances on armature or slip table.

- The possibility to measure the shaker armature or slip table mechanical impedance to characterise the armature or the slip table.

- How a resonance search could be misleading.

- Relations between the DUT’s stress and the facility mechanical impedance.

- The difference between spurious cross acceleration and pitch rotation on the slip table.

CENTROTECNICA at IAC 24

We are happy for participating at IAC24 and to have had the great honor to unveil the results of the study carried out by our R&D department to a remarkably global and skilled audience:

“The influence of the vibration test facility in the resonance frequencies measured on a satellite structure, introducing facility mechanical impedance in FEA and facility”.

The innovations and benefits represented by the exhibited results find full application in Centrotecnica's new RT-SP slip table series for mechanical vibration testing.

ONLINE PURCHASING OF ACCELEROMETER CALIBRATIONS

This is a new service offered by the accredited calibration laboratory (LAT No. 111 T).

The service is already fully operational for frequency calibrations of monoaxial and triaxial accelerometers.

It is very easy to buy a calibration online, watch the attached video-tutorial.

Our accredited calibration laboratory has been in operation since 1998 and over the years has enriched its offering with exclusive and innovative services.

The new IMV K200 shaker is up and running!

The new IMV K200 shaker is up and running!

One of the most powerful shakers in the world for a contract testing laboratory!
It has a force of 200 kN and is equipped with a slip table and guided head expander from Centrotecnica.
A new shaker in a new building: 150 m2 room equipped with overhead crane and a powerful air cleaning system to meet and exceed the ISO 8 clean room standard.
The new test laboratory is geared towards testing satellites and large space components, but is also suitable for bulky and heavy samples in general, especially for railway components.
