Shake Table II XY
The Shake Table II XY consists of two single-axis Shake Table II units mounted perpendicularly on top of each other. Each stage can travel ±7.6 cm. Driven by powerful motors, the Shake Table II XY can achieve an acceleration of 2.5 g when loaded with a 7.5 kg mass.
Furthermore, you can use the two Shake Table II from the XY configuration for other setups, i.e., serial and parallel, to support larger loads, or perform experiments with asynchronous excitation signals.
• Dual-axis operation
• Multiple setup variations (XY, Bridge Simulation)
• High-resolution encoders
• Cost effective
• Easy integration of user-built structures, third-party sensors and actuators
• Control using standalone Shake Table software or with QUARC for MATLAB®/Simulink®
• Supports scaling and playback of earthquake data
• Integrated safety features and limits
