Crystal Instruments and Sentek Dynamics attended the 90th Shock and Vibration Symposium in Atlanta, GA. Topics covered at the symposium included shock-ship testing, water shock, weapons effects (air blast, ground shock, cratering, penetration) shock physics, earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and shock and vibration instrumentation and experiment techniques.
Read MoreThe latest 8.1 release of the Crystal Instrument’s EDM Modal software features multi-Resolution spectrum technology implemented into the MIMO FRF testing suite. Multiple passes of FFT yield a much finer resolution in the lower frequency region. This provides the advantage of a better estimation of the quality factor (or damping) and the amplitude of the frequency response functions at the resonant frequencies.

Read MoreCrystal Instruments and Sentek Dynamics once again attended the Automotive Testing Expo in Novi, Michigan. This marquee event is regarded as the world’s largest vehicle, component, validation technology, and services exhibition that featured more than 400 exhibitors with over 9,000 attendees.
Read MoreIt is difficult to imagine the actual vibration level and distribution from the numerical display or signals, which are basically a mathematical representation of the vibration experienced by the structure under test. Animating the structure’s deformation provides users with a clearer representation of the intensity from vibration.
Read MoreThe CoCo-70X is Crystal Instruments’ latest handheld vibration analyzer, designed specifically for the machinery Predictive Maintenance (PdM) community. The four-channel analyzer features an IP-67 rating and is ideal for a wide range of industries including petrochemical, paper, steel and other metals, automotive, aviation, aerospace, electronics and military.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments is committed to the continuous innovation of our solutions and providing the best user experience possible. By adopting the latest developments in software technology, our team has developed a convenient modern aesthetic in addition to a feature-rich experience for Engineering Data Management (EDM) software, which serves the entire product line.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments is excited to offer an upcoming Modal Measurement Seminar in Seattle, WA with lead instructor Dr. Pete Avitabile. From October 8-9, 2019, attendees of our special modal seminar will receive the use of a complete lab kit for the entire duration of the training seminar.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments is pleased to provide a convenient “Product Support” site for customers. Users can visit the site to access the following helpful features such as technical documents, software updates, retrieval of lost passwords, and general tech support.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments is excited to announce the addition of Strain Rate feedback to its arsenal of non-acceleration vibrational control strategies. The Spider-80SG/SGi system now supports the use of strain gauges as the primary control transducers. This feature allows users to define test profiles as a function of strain and frequency.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments attended the 33rd Annual Small Satellite Conference in Logan, Utah last month. The conference, held on the campus of Utah State University, is internationally recognized as the premier conference on small satellites.
Read MoreThe 2019 National Conference on Noise Control Engineering (Noise-Con2019) was held from August 26-28, 2019 in San Diego, California. Over 160 technical papers were presented across four parallel sessions.
Read MoreThe 9th International Conference on Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure (SHMII-9) was held on August 4-7, 2019, in St. Louis, Missouri. Crystal Instruments attended the conference as an exhibitor, showcasing a new Digital Sensor prototype, in addition to the typical data acquisition and vibration testing offerings.
Read MoreEverything goes well with pizza, or so it seems, and the list of things that go well with pizza now include vibration test equipment, thanks to companies like Zume Pizza. Zume Pizza in Mountain View, California, has innovated pizza delivery; they bake each pie in their mobile kitchens and are able to move those kitchens to the demanded location (i.e. sporting events, concerts, schools). The pizza is delivered to your doorstep moments after it comes out of the oven.
