TMC solution head expanders provide vertical test mounting surfaces larger than the shaker armature provides. The head expanders are manufactured from light-weight magnesium or alloys, providing high strength-to-weight ratio. A choice of less expensive aluminum alloys material is available for smaller fixtures without much addition to the total mass. The head expander allows multiple items to be tested on the shaker, reducing the risk of damage to the shaker suspension system. The Guided Head Expander is designed for testing of large, heavy packages to handle tough transportation and other demanding test profiles while providing additional restraints and load support.
Customized fixtures can also be designed and fully manufactured based on the customer’s specimen mounting requirement. Cube, L type and T type fixtures for testing of multiple small sized components are available. The customized cube, L or T types are preferred by customer for three axis test without investing on additional slip tables.
