SignalStar Matrix is a uniquely high performance vibration controller that offers all the features you need:

• Multi Shaker control for Random, Sine, Shock and Motion Replication applications
• Single shaker control for all control strategies including mixed mode
• Windows Operating System

Now it is possible for one vibration controller to serve the full spectrum of your testing needs. With SignalStar Matrix, you can run all classical vibration applications including Random, Sine, Shock and Mixed modes with a clearer understanding of the responses all over the test item. SignalStar Matrix not only delivers unparalleled performance for every type of single axis shaker test, it also delivers the ability to control up to 16 shakers in multi-axis tests, working equally well with hydraulic and electrodynamic shakers. You can even reproduce real world environments using the Motion Replication software and perform Modal tests specific to validating design models.

When a structure is excited and controlled in a single axis, cross-axis motion is spurious and sometimes harmful to the device under test. Limiting or notching channels might be used to prevent damaging response levels. Specific dynamic considerations apply when the structure is controlled in more than one axis. The SignalStar Matrix controller uses continuous control to adapt to the dynamics of the system under test. By compensating the cross-coupled dynamic responses to the multiple inputs simultaneously, control accuracy is kept high. Matrix offers independent reference definition of each control point with defined phase and coherence between control points.

Single Axis Single Shaker
Single axis single shaker testing is the backbone of vibration testing where the payload is mounted by fixture to the shaker table. This form of testing id ideal for vibration qualification and screening of components and substructures, which are compact and are easily attached to a fixture.

Single Axis Multi Shaker
Large products, particularly those that are physically long, such as missiles or space vehicles, may require more complex testing where more than one shaker is sued to provide controlled vibration at different parts of the structure. This can involve the control of the individual vibration profiles and of the phase relationships between them.

Multi Axis Multi Shaker (Table)
Components and substructures can be tested on specially designed shaker tables with motion in many degrees of freedom. Seismic qualification tests are performed by mounting a test item to a large multi axis shaker table. Automotive subassemblies are tested on smaller multi axis tables.

Multi Axis Multi Shaker (Direct)
Entire automobiles, aircraft, turbomachinery and other large structures are subjected to the simultaneous excitation of multiple shakers, each directly attached to a point of environmental load input. This provides a realistic simulation of the operational loading under laboratory control. Motion Replication, such as road simulation, is often performed in this configuration.
