DTB proudly announces the latest addition to its already extensive test facility. Our new Unholtz-Dickie T-5500-3 Vibration Test System is the most advanced in the world. DTB is the ONLY independent test lab with this capability.

This new equipment has a force rating of 55,000 pounds for sine and random vibration and 100,000 pounds for shock. It also has a 3 inch stroke with an integrated slip table. 

The T-5500-3 can be used for combined environment testing-temperature + vibration and temperature/humidity + vibration and comes with a self aligning 60" by 60" head expander for larger test items.

With the T-5500-3, DTB remains the leader in being able to meet the ever-changing demands and challenges of today's commercial, aerospace, and military testing world. We are able to handle even the most extreme level of vibration requirements and we are capable of testing all this with a 3 inch displacement.

Since our system has an integrated slip table assembly, we will eliminate wasted set up time in the horizontal vibration direction, making testing time more cost efficient for our customers!
