Vibration Tests on Camera HVK2 1020 of Kappa

Kurzfassung

Vibration and shock tests in accordance with MIL-STD-810F were performed on camera HVK2 1012 of Kappa. The camera is a new developed high resolution camera and is manufactured by Kappa opto-electronics GmbH in Gleichen, Germany. For the performance of tests the camera was mounted on a uni-axial electrodynamic shaker. Sine vibration tests in each longitudinal axis of the camera were performed by sine sweep runs from 60 to 2000 Hz upwards and from 2000 Hz to 60 Hz downwards with a sweep velocity of 1 oct/min and a maximum level of 2.12 g. In each axis the camera was exposed 2 h to the vibrations. In addition, shock tests with peak values of 10 g and 6 ms and afterwards with peak values of 50 g and 5 ms duration were performed. The camera was exposed to 10 shocks in positive and 10 shocks in negative direction of each axis. The correct operation of the camera was checked by Kappa opto-electronics GmbH after each test run and after termination of the overall test program. It showed that the camera operated correct at all times.
