Abstract
A shock testing machine including: a test platform upon which one or more objects to be tested are mounted; one or more rails upon which the test platform is movable in a longitudinal direction; and a braking station for retarding a relative motion between the test platform and the braking station, wherein the test platform and the braking station include at least one portion interfering with the relative motion of the test platform and the braking station such that relative movement of the test platform and the braking station past the at least one portion produces a shock lateral to the longitudinal direction
Claims11
A shock testing machine comprising:
- a test platform upon which one or more objects to be tested are mounted;
- one or more rails upon which the test platform is movable in a longitudinal direction;
- and
- a braking station for retarding a relative motion between the test platform and the braking station,
- wherein the test platform and the braking station include at least one portion interfering with the relative motion of the test platform and the braking station such that relative movement of the test platform and the braking station past the at least one portion produces a shock lateral to the longitudinal direction.
A method for shock testing one or more objects, the method comprising:
- mounting the one or more objects to a test platform;
- movably disposing the test platform on one or more rails;
- moving the test platform in a longitudinal direction a predetermined distance relative to a braking station;
- and
- causing an interference between the test platform and the braking station such that relative movement of the test platform and the braking station past the at least one portion produces a shock in a direction lateral to the longitudinal direction.
