ETS Solutions offers Head Expanders for applications where larger vertical test mounting surfaces are required. Head Expanders are manufactured from light-weight magnesium alloys, providing high strength-to-weight ratio. A choice of less expensive aluminum alloys is also available for smaller fixtures without much addition to the total mass. The Head Expander allows multiple items to be tested at the same time, decreasing total test cycle time. Head Expanders with load support guidance allow payloads with large foot prints to be safely mounted and tested on the shaker, reducing the risk of damage to the shaker suspension system. The Guided Head Expanders are designed for testing of large, heavy packages to handle tough transportation and other demanding test profiles while providing additional restraints and load support.
The latest software for FEM calculation is utilized for fixture designs to produce the best results for fixtures with exceptional dynamic performance.
