Hello all, As a part of the safety testing of our products we have a requirements for a vibration test. EN50178 (originally DIN VDE 0160) has a 1G sine sweep test that forces us to go to a nearby environmental test lab. Where we can find a voice-coil vibration table. The cost for one large one of these is prohibitive for my company.
My question: Is it possible to correlate the sine sweep with random vibration and show compliance to the standard? A more economical solution for us would be to use one of several HALT/HASS chambers we have in-house. Intuitively, it seems that testing products at 60 G's or more, over a wide spectrum, should exceed the 1G sinusoid. But so far, everyone I know indicates there is no way to do this. By the way, I do understand some things about the dwell time and resonance's. Still I would like to hear your inputs on this... -doug ================================== Douglas E.
