3 Vibration Systems Shakers 9 N N Vibration systems from 9 N (2 lbf) to 440 N (100 lbf) TIRA products are subject to strict quality assurance procedures designed to meet CE requirements as well as national and international norms. This also applies to our proven testing and measuring systems where feedback from our customers helps us to retain high standards of quality and profitability now and in the future. Quality management has been certified in terms of DIN ISO 9001 since 1995, and DIN EN ISO 9001: 2008 since February These shakers use permanent magnets and are available as portable and stationary systems for simulating ambient vibration conditions. Robust design ensures a long service life, and typical applications include structure analysis, sensor calibration and testing smaller subassemblies. These exciters are characterized by high lateral and axial stiffness and come in lightweight construction as specified by industrial users. New rare earth magnets have been added to the range of conventional Alnico magnets, reducing weight from 30 kg to 10 kg for easy handling particularly in mobile applications. Our vibration generators have proven their worth in environmental labs, universities and industrial production lines both for components and calibration. These complete systems enable testing in accordance with national and international standards such as DIN, ISO, BS, MIL, IEC and ASTM.

13 Calibration Shaker Calibration shakers from 100 N (22.5 lbf) to 1000 N (225 lbf) In all fields of industry, in aviation, the automotive industry and in power stations, vibration analyses and measurements for determining the vibration transmission are increasingly carried out. A large variety of measuring sensors is necessary to realize such investigations. These measuring sensors have to be checked for their accuracy and calibrated in defined time intervals. As most of the measuring sensors have a large measuring range and large frequency ranges, special shakers for calibrating these sensors are required. TIRA has risen to this challenge and designed a unique shaker which meets these requirements. This newly developed shaker is equipped with a special guide system and a vibration system made of ceramic material. It is characterized by a very high utilizable frequency range up to 25 khz and with the appropriate measuring equipment it is optimally suitable for professional calibration applications. The AC calibration shaker has additionally a special air bearing with the advantage of being frictionless, wear-free and damping spurious oscillations.

14 Modal Thrusters Modal thrusters from 75 N (17 lbf) to 2.7 kn (607 lbf) Modal thruster S M Modal thruster S MSC The Modal exciter system TV MSC is a special development of TIRA to increase the mobility. The 350 N vibration exciter has an integrated air cooling to make an external cooling unit unnecessary. These exciters are specifically designed for modal and structure analysis. Modal thrusters up to 400 N are excited by permanent magnets, with lightweight rare earth magnets provided for mobile use. These thrusters are characterized by high cross-axial stiffness. From 650 N onwards, modal thrusters permit a max. displacement of 50.8 mm due to TMC control. TMC is an electronic armature position control system for precisely coupling the modal thruster to the specimen. The armature datum adjustment allows the operator to offset the nominal position of the armature in relation to the body. A preload can easily be set. The axial stiffness can also be adjusted electronically. A standard feature on all modal generators is a swivel-frame. This allows a great variety of coupling options.

16 Inertial Systems Inertial systems from 125 N (28 lbf) to 650 N (146 lbf) TIRA produces inertial systems (IN) in the range from 125 N to 650 N, which can be bolted directly to the structure and aligned at any angle within 360. The generators have an excellent lateral and axial stiffness. Excitation is made by permanent magnets, and a special spring system provides optimal guidance so that the full body mass can impact on the structure. The generator is cooled by a maintenance-free fan, with cooling air entering through a filter assembly. As inertial generators from TIRA can efficiently apply dynamic forces to large structures, they have found their applications in manufacturing, aerospace, buildings, civil engineering and shipbuilding.

17 Long Stroke Shaker Long stroke shaker with 102 mm displacement (pk-pk) Due to the ever increasing safety requirements the industry develops a wide range of sensor technology and components that have to be tested under extreme stress conditions. The test parameters are developing to match higher accelerations in combination with large impact ranges. These tests cannot be realized with conventional standard systems offering a displacement of 50.8 mm (2"). TIRA has met the requirements of the industry to manufacture test installations that can imitate extreme shock simulations. It developed a series of long-stroke shakers with a displacement of 102mm (4, peak -peak). Apart from their application in laboratories for testing development problems the integration of these shakers in complete production lines has been a proven advantage.

18 TIRA Slip Tables OUR CONCEPT TIRA slip tables are clearly designed and functional, which makes them easy to handle for smooth testing. Turning the shaker will not limit conventional testing on the vibrating fixture. Stiffened and welded structures at the base increase the reaction mass, while any undesirable transfer of vibration is damped. The linear guide system guarantees high stiffness of the slip plate and minimize cross vibration if the test setup is not symmetrical.

Slip plate 24 Vibration technology enables testing in research, development and quality assurance. As test objects become heavier and larger, electrodynamic generators can no longer be used. 18

19 TIRA Slip Tables TIRA slip tables TESTING UNDER STRESS Today's equipment has to work in all kinds of environments including changes of temperature, vibration, and high humidity. From the design stage right through to final inspection, combined vibration/climatic test systems can simulate the effect of environmental conditions on electric, electronic and mechanical components. Weak points can thus be detected at an early point and eliminated at low cost. Properly designed key parts will prevent expensive downtimes and/or damage. Such multi-test systems are indispensable for quality assurance, research and development. DRIVER BARS TIRA driver bars provide the link between shaker and slip plate. They are FEM designed and made of magnesium. Depending on size they are single pieces or welded together. Their geometric design enables perfect force transmission while minimizing the moving mass. Driver bars are available for vibration generators with different armature diameters from 120 mm to 640 mm. Our test systems guarantee your product functions. VIBRATION ISOLATION, SAFE INSTALLATION Pneumatic isolation elements make it possible to install slip tables without expensive foundations. Due to the low natural frequency of isolators (3-5 Hz), a wide test spectrum is applicable. TEST OBJECT FIXING To simulate practical conditions, devices under test have to be excited in their working position. TIRA has specific magnesium fixtures for all applications. 19

20 TIRA Slip Tables Oil-film slip tables with standard working areas of max x 2000 mm, other sizes can be produced on request. Oil-film slip tables consist of a precision grinded and lapped natural granite block with a magnesium plate that slides on an oil film. Four linear guides guarantee the lateral guidance of the slip plate and minimize transverse motion. Horizontal and vertical excitation is possible so that specimens may be tested in their working position.

21 TIRA Slip Tables Hydrostatically guided slip tables Oil film slip tables with hydrostatic guidance from TIRA give you a compact system for a variety of vibration tests, including those of large and heavy specimens which generate high yaw, roll and pitch moments due to their high centers of gravity above the slip plate. These tables use high-pressure bearings with a separate hydraulic supply unit. The monobase design enables rapid conversion from horizontal to vertical testing and the accurate alignment of vibration generators relative to slip tables. Magnesium slip plates are available in different sizes, up to a working area of max x 2000 mm. Other (and larger) sizes can be produced on request. Oil-film slip tables consist of a precision grinded and lapped natural granite block with a magnesium plate sliding on an oil film.

22 Head Expanders and Fixtures Load-bearing platform (guided head expander) FEM-designed head expander TIRA offers a wide range of head expanders, L and T-type fixtures, cubes and special support systems. The latest software for FEM calculation and analysis is used so that customers get specifically designed fixture assemblies with optimized and predicted dynamic performance to produce the best result. Fixtures are often main items of application conditions in industrial testing where specimens are tested to high standards of precision. This means that the fixture has to be optimized for both the specimen and the test parameters. Many customers, however, can't do these sophisticated calculations to produce a suitable fixture. TIRA has met this challenge and will develop, calculate and manufacture any type of special-purpose fixtures for your application, with the emphasis on minimizing its weight and optimize its dynamic performance. Monobase systems with a horizontal slip table and vertically guided load-bearing platform make it possible to test extremely large and heavy loads in direction of x, y and z axis. Speciallydesigned slip tables and load-bearing platforms are available with a working area of max. of 2000 mm x 2000 mm (78 x 78"). Slip plate and load-bearing platform are accurately aligned in a common base frame. Conversion from horizontal to vertical operation is easy and takes a minimum of time. 22

23 Head Expanders TIRA head expanders are manufactured from magnesium and provide an expansion of the armature table up to a ratio of 2:1. The unique design of the head expanders allows tests up to 2000 Hz. Head expanders especially provided with 'vibrodamp' can be subjected to test frequencies above 1000 Hz. This damping process reduces amplification of upper frequency resonances. Apart from the range of standard head expanders TIRA also offers customized fixtures for round, square or rectangular working areas.

25 Temperature/Climatic Test Systems The quality, reliability, and safety of products require utmost care from the concept to the end-user. To meet this ambitious requirement, one nowadays investigates the interactions between objects and their direct or indirect environment by means of environment-testing systems. Based upon such experience, products are developed with reference to specific applications as well as high quality and long lifetime. Such flaws as material and production faults can be detected early and costly breakdowns or callback actions are avoided. In practical use, the products are exposed to various environmental influences at the same time such as e.g. temperature, humidity, vibrations, and transport loads. User-specific one-sided test systems are used as combinations in the test setup and linked to form full test systems. TIRA delivers full test systems from one source. Product range: Chambers for simulating environmental conditions (temperature, air humidity, pressure, irradiation, vibration) Temperature shock testing installations (air/air, liquid/liquid, horizontal, vertical) Corrosion test chambers and devices for artificial weathering (salt nebulization, air pollutants, ultraviolet irradiation) Combined vibration chamber systems (complete vertical and horizontal solutions) Walk-in special installations (air-bag test chambers, sunlight simulation, open-plan cells) With TIRAvibro a series of vibration testing chambers for combined testing procedures under climatic and thermic influences and mechanical and dynamic loading was developed. The climate- and temperature-testing chambers can be adapted to any vertical and horizontal vibration system. They are especially optimised for the operation with TIRA vibration testing installations and for the integration in complete TIRA systems. Due to the integration in system solutions the testing chamber and the shaker can be operated by a common test software (TEC). Exchangeable or fixed base plates are the interface for coupling the shaker to the test chamber. In dependence on the kind of vibration test a permanently installed base plate or two flexible base plates are inserted into the test chamber. Integration of vibration generator into climatic chamber Head extender Integration of slip table into climatic chamber 25

26 Temperature/Climatic Test Systems TIRA has developed a new leadthrough for the operation of shakers with climatic chambers. This leadthrough allows in comparison to the previous systems with headextender and massive thermobarrier plate a significant better configuration of the temperature differences. This enhancement is achieved by a special honeycomb structure of the armature sided plate and the intermediate plates at which the isolation is substantially increased by a displaced arrangement of the inner fins (Thermal conduction only by the outer ring and the bolted connection). This way an operation of sensitive climate with higher dew points is better possible. Therefore more constant temperature conditions for the test material are present. The condensation of humidity out of the testing air is reduced considerably. At cooling operation of the chamber the shaker inside is better protected against condensation.

29 Analog Power Amplifiers TIRA offers a new series of analog amplifiers with a rated sinusoidial power output up to 1200 VA. The modules control all permanent magnetic shakers as well as shakers in connection with an internal field excitation up to 1600 N. These amplifiers, equipped with highly-advanced MOSFET transistors, can be run in the current or the voltage mode, as desired. The amplifiers are user-friendly because of their background-lit multifunctional display. A safety management system monitors functions such as temperature, overcurrent and overtravel and avoids the destruction of the amplifier in case of short circuit. A high signal-to-noise ratio and a low distortion factor are outstanding features. Selectable ranges of operating voltage and current range limiting are preconditions for the fact that TIRA amplifiers can be readily adapted to other shakers from other manufacturers. Optionally, the amplifiers are designed for connecting the electronic zero-adjustment unit Tira Middle Control (TMC), which makes even with small longstroke-shakers a load compensation for achieving the nominal displacement possible. Optionally a remote control in hardware or software is available (from BAA 500).
