UL vibration test
UL vibration test
(OP)
Looks like my work is making me pre-test our product with some sort of vibration test. At the very least, I have to buy equipment to measure it (harmonic distance and frequency), but it looks like if I want to buy a pre-made table I'm looking at $10-$15k. I'm considering building one myself, but I'm wondering if I'm going to have a difficult time building one (as far as getting the right rpm and weight offbalance on the motor).

Keep in mind, I don't think we're looking to be completely accurate as to perform a true test, I think we're looking to get an initial estimated test to see if our product can withstand it before we hand over $1k to UL to do an official test, who by the way only come around maybe once every 2 months to test our products.

It was a very, very crude test, but it revealed a lot about our product. Screws started falling off of electrical connections within a minute.
We used a lot more Loctite after that.
