Electrodynamic Shaker Amplifier Replacement (IMV)
Electrodynamic shakers consume a lot of energy. IMV has developed super-long life amplifiers with Integrated Shaker Manager (ISM-EM) technology, which:
minimizes the required electric power,
cuts down electric consumption,
reduces blower noise for air-cooled shakers and
is incredibly reliable.
ISM-EM can be adapted for use with shakers from any manufacturer, not just IMV. All you need to do is to upgrade the amplifier and install the software on the computer of the existing vibration controller. The ISM automatically calculates and optimizes the power consumption, helping the end-user to lower costs, decrease carbon footprint and CO2 emissions and finally reduces time spent on manual configuration and setup.
In minimizing the energy used by IMV's ISM-EM software to run any given test, the cooling requirements are also minimized. Not only does this save energy, but it also means that for most tests, the ISM-EM is quiet. Air-cooled shaker systems are sometimes criticized for the blower noise they produce, but IMV's ISM-EM solves this problem. For low force tests, the cooling blower automatically runs at a reduced speed and the total system noise level is much reduced. When the shaker is running at full force, the noise from the shaker table exceeds that of the blower, making blower noise a non-issue. Many of IMV's customers are purchasing the ECO-system for the noise reduction alone, and the energy savings are an additional benefit.
Feature Summary
Increased Durability & Reliability
IMV shakers’ durability is already well known in Japan, Asian countries, Russia, and Europe. They have installed over 200 multi-axis systems across the world in the past 20 years, in addition to a large number of single-axis shaker systems.
In the United States, they have one of the testimonials in the automotive industry test house, Spectrum Technologies, Inc., located in Redford, MI. It has two of simultaneous 3-axis shaker systems (TS-2000-6H : 4,400 pound-force each axis). The first system was installed about 10 years ago and the second one was installed in November 2017. Both shaker systems are mainly used up to 2,000 Hz for one of the “Big Three” automakers’ components durability tests.
The first shaker system shows IMV’s real-world durability with no down time until now. As of November 2016, its hour meter on the amplifier shows “23,213 hours” without any maintenance for about 10 years. In fact, our claimed amplifier MTBF is 17,537 hours, and thus the amplifier at Spectrum Technologies, Inc. successfully proved our advanced durability of 4th generation IGBT amplifier. Please note that IMV amplifiers can operate under ambient temperature of 104 Farrenheight (40°C).
Conventional Vs. IMV ISM EM System
Key benefits of upgrading your existing amplifier to the ECO technology include a more efficient power Amplifier, decreased operating noise and automation of power consumption via the Intelligent Shaker Manager (ISM).
The ISM automatically calculates and optimizes the power consumption, helping the end-user to lower costs, decrease carbon footprint and CO2 emissions and finally reduces time spent on manual configuration and setup.
The program is currently open to all customers with any manufacturers Vibration test Systems, and is offered as a standard site upgrade.
Customers also have the option of purchasing a new IMV 4-Channel Vibration Control System with SINE, Random and Shock software, as part of the upgrade, or can simply purchase the ISM Software for use on their existing Vibration controller
Lower power consumption
Conventional shaker systems set the field power and blower speed to their nominal settings as soon as the system starts up. Only the armature power varies according to the force required for the test.
IMV's ISM-EM technology constantly monitors the force required to execute the vibration test, and by using high-frequency power converters, automatically adjusts the field power and cooling blower speed to run at the point of minimum energy consumption.
Remote Diagnostics & Support
IMV's ISM-EM monitors up to 200 parameters, including power module operating conditions, system temperatures, interlock status, controller status, 3-phase supply conditions, and so on. When these parameters are recorded and saved to a log file, the system can run advanced diagnostics. Further, each time a system interlock occurs, a snapshot is taken of the system operating parameters both before and after the occurrence of the interlock. All of this information means that IMV can remotely diagnose a system problem such that:
The problem can usually be resolved remotely and the system can get back up and running without the need for a service engineer to visit.
If a service visit is required, the engineer will bring the correct spare part and have the system running again in only one trip.
Everything is done to keep the ISM-EM running at full performance so that you can maximize your return on investment.
