Compact test stand

The compact test stand offers space for up to three articulated arms, thus forming the basis for a stable and versatile system for precise sensor positioning. It is ideally suited for measurement setups for smaller test specimens where accurate and reproducible measurement results are required.

Description

The compact test stand from MAUL-THEET provides an ideal foundation for precise measurement and test setups used for evaluating smaller components and parts. It accommodates up to three MT-series articulated arms, which can be added as required — the 420MT for smaller sensors such as measurement microphones and automated modal hammers, and the 650MT for larger measuring devices such as laser Doppler vibrometers.

The articulated arms allow for the flexible and stable positioning of multiple sensors simultaneously – ideal for acoustic, vibration, or temperature-related measurements on smaller test specimens. Thanks to the mechanical clamping force generation, the system remains insensitive to temperature fluctuations and is therefore also suitable for use in climate chambers.

With its robust construction and precise adjustability, the compact test stand provides a reliable basis for measurement tasks where high stability, repeatability and ease of use are crucial.
