The Challenge
Testing a supercomputer poses some unique challenges. Subassemblies and components need to be evaluated for reliability as well as the much larger completed system. One of the world’s top supercomputing companies approached Lansmont about designing a vibration system capable of not only testing sub-assemblies, but also the entire supercomputer itself.

The Solution
The Model 56000 High Performance Vibration System includes two 48 x 48 in. (122 x 122 cm) tables. Each table is fitted to actuators controlled by Lansmont’s High Performance Servo Valves (HPSV). The two tables can be used individually with performance to 500 Hz., or controlled in unison to provide a 48 x 96 in. (122 x 244 cm) test surface capable of handling 8000 lbs. (3628 kg).
