Description

Description

The vImpact-63 is an automatic modal hammer for rebound-free, reproducible and non-destructive excitation of test specimens for experimental modal analysis. Its compact design and variable impulse control enable precise vibration excitation of smaller parts, components and structures.

The impact force is infinitely adjustable, allowing the automatic modal hammer to be flexibly adapted to different materials and measurement requirements. An integrated timer mode enables automated impact series with constant repeatability, while the zero-point positioning (EndPos) ensures quick and precise setup on the measurement apparatus.

The automatic modal hammer vImpact-63 combines functionality and compactness, making it ideal for high-frequency measurements up to 60kHz on smaller components or assemblies.

Setup of the automatic modal hammer

Automatic modal hammers of the vImpact series (good excitation) by MAUL-THEET

Good excitation

When operating an automatic modal hammer, the precise setup of the hammer is important in order to obtain good transmission functions.

To do this, the tip of the hammer must hit the measurement object at a right angle. In this case, the load cell is subjected to axial stress and guarantees that the force is transmitted correctly.

Automatic modal hammers of the vImpact series (bad excitation) by MAUL-THEET

Bad excitation

If not set up correctly, the load cell will also be loaded in the transverse direction. The load cells are designed for measurement in the axial direction. Transverse forces that occur are not measured.

In the case of a non-vertical impact, the test object is excited at an angle and the vertical impact force is unknown.

Included items

The new vImpact-63/64 and vImpact-2003/2004 have a setup mode in which the hammers move to the intended stop position. In this position, it is very easy to align the automatic modal hammers correctly.
