Vibration table with uniform distribution

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a platform supported by said base, said platform being movable independently of said base, said platform including a first side and a second side opposed and spaced from said first side, said first side for supporting articles to be vibrated by said vibration table, said platform further including at least one projecting mounting surface extending outwardly from said second side and at least one transverse member extending across and mounted to said second side of said platform, said transverse member including said projecting mounting surface;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies for vibrating said platform, at least one of said vibration assemblies coupled to said at least one projecting mounting surface.

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a platform supported by said base, said platform being movable independently of said base, said platform including a first side and a second side opposed and spaced from said first side, said first side for supporting articles to be vibrated by said vibration table, said platform further including at least one projecting mounting surface extending outwardly from said second side and a reinforcing frame to stiffen said platform, said reinforcing frame including said at least one projecting mounting surface;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies for vibrating said platform, at least one of said vibration assemblies coupled to said at least one projecting mounting surface.

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a plurality of springs;
• a platform supported by said springs on said base, said platform including spaced apart first and second sides and a plurality of reinforcing members secured to said second side, said first side defining a mounting surface for mounting articles to said vibration table;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies mounted to said reinforcing members whereby said reinforcing members distribute vibration from said at least one vibration assembly substantially uniformly across said platform.

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a plurality of springs supported by said base;
• a platform supported by said springs on said base, said platform comprising a plate, a sheet of insulation, and at least two reinforcing members, said plate having spaced apart first and second sides, said reinforcing members being secured to said second side of said plate through said sheet of insulation, said first side defining a mounting surface for mounting articles to said vibration table;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies mounted to said platform, and at least a first group of said vibration assemblies being mounted to one of said reinforcing members and a second group of vibration assemblies being mounted to another of said reinforcing members whereby said reinforcing members distribute vibration from said vibration assemblies substantially uniformly across said platform.

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a platform supported by said base, said platform being movable independently of said base, and said platform having a support surface for mounting articles to said vibration table and a plurality of mounting surfaces arranged in a plurality of planes;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies for vibrating said platform, said vibration assemblies being mounted to said mounting surfaces in at least two of said planes whereby said vibration assemblies generate substantially uniform vibration pulses in said platform.

A vibration table comprising:

• a base;
• a platform supported by said base, said platform being movable independently of said base, said platform including a support surface for supporting articles to be vibrated by said vibration table;
• and
• a plurality of vibration assemblies for vibrating said platform, said vibration assemblies being mounted to said platform and inducing four vibration vector forces in said platform at a plurality of locations on said platform, and said vibration vectors being balanced across said platform to produce substantially uniform vibration pulses in said platform across said platform.
