Mounts for Electronic Curcuit board Test Rig

Client: Navico Group

Challenge: Navico Group, a global leader in marine and electronic technology, contacted Vibratech NZ to address an issue with their electronic circuit board test rig. The test rig, designed to validate electronic components, generated repeated impact loads up to 100,000 times, causing vibrations to transfer through the concrete floor of the testing room. These vibrations not only affected the testing accuracy but also increased noise levels within the building significantly.

Solution: Vibratech NZ conducted a thorough assessment of the situation, considering all influencing factors, and developed a solution to effectively isolate the vibrations.

1. Assessment and Design:

   • Evaluated the specific vibration and noise issues caused by the test rig.

   • Specified a custom flange mounting system tailored to the requirements of the test rig.

2. Implementation:

   • Installed appropriate flange mounts at each leg of the machine’s base.

   • These mounts were engineered to significantly reduce the transmission of vibrations through the concrete floor.

3. Results:

   • The implemented solution greatly minimised the vibrations transmitted to the surrounding environment and future proofed the test rig from maintenance issues.

   • Achieved a significant reduction in noise levels, creating a more stable and quieter testing environment.

Outcome: The installation of Vibratech’s custom flange mounts resulted in a highly effective isolation of vibrations and noise reduction. This ensured more accurate testing conditions for Navico Group’s electronic components, enhancing the reliability of their validation process. Another successful solution by Vibratech NZ, demonstrating their expertise in providing tailored vibration isolation solutions for specialised applications.
