MTS responds to evolving EV test requirements with a new dodecapod MAST system, purpose-engineered for conducting vibration tests on large battery packs used in next-generation commercial and off-highway electric vehicles.
The Model 354 LG (Large-Geometry) Multi-Axial Simulation Table is purpose-engineered to support a full spectrum of vibration testing of lithium-ion battery packs used in electric commercial trucks and off-highway agricultural, construction, mining, and forestry vehicles. This latest addition to the MTS MAST portfolio employs a high-stiffness 2.5 x 3.5 meter table mounted to a dodecapod of MTS DuraGlide actuators to subject heavy, large-geometry battery packs, multiple packs, and body-in-white rigs to real-world vibration phenomena at frequencies up to 200 Hz in up to six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF).
The Model 354 LG MAST combines robust simulation performance and compatibility with third-party environmental chambers, battery management systems, and specimen monitoring systems to meet test requirements defined in ISO 12405, UN R100, UN R136, and UN 38.3.
