FAQ

Description

MAUL-THEET’s vImpact series automatic modal hammers were developed for precise, repeatable and non-destructive excitation in experimental modal analysis. They provide optimal excitation with high reproducibility, enabling accurate determination of the dynamic properties of components and structures.

Depending on the model, impact force, impact frequency, and impact count can be individually adjusted, allowing the hammers to adapt flexibly to different test specimens and measurement tasks. The robust mechanical construction and high-quality sensor integration ensure stable measurement results even under varying environmental conditions.

Whether in research, development or quality assurance – the automatic modal hammers offer a precise, low-maintenance and user-friendly solution for conducting vibration and structural analyses.

vImpact-64

Automatic modal hammer vImpact-64 by MAUL-THEET

The compact vImpact-64 automatic modal hammer was specifically developed for use in production environments and can be easily integrated into any production line, both in-line and end-of-line, thanks to its holding pin that can be mounted in five positions. At the same time, it ensures rebound-free, reproducible and non-destructive excitation of smaller test specimens up to 60kHz.

vImpact-2004
