We successfully completed the VIB-101 vibration operation training course last week. It’s one of our vibration testing training courses offered at our North Carolina facility.
Crystal Instruments (CI) is proud to announce our partnership agreement with Kistler Iberica to offer our dynamic test and measurement equipment in Spain and Portugal.
Crystal Instruments wrapped up a highly successful International Sales Meeting at the end of March, bringing together 35 sales managers and business leaders from over 27 countries across the EMEA region. The event took place in the stunning coastal town of Sitges, just outside Barcelona, Spain.
Compared to the Spider-80Xi V7, the noise floor has been reduced by 15 dB, while the input THD has decreased by 11 dB and the output THD has decreased by 6 dB.
The Spider-80Hi has undergone significant hardware upgrades, delivering substantial improvements in performance.
Crystal Instruments (CI) is pleased to announce our distribution agreement with Techni Measure located in Doncaster, UK. Techni Measure will distribute our products in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Crystal Instruments HALT Testing Lab is equipped with two Qualmark chambers (OVS 3.0 Typhoon HALT and OVS 2.5 HALT) and provides highly experienced HALT testing services.
HASS development utilizes (vibration, thermal, and electrical, etc.) limits found in HALT, so the values derived therein are a prerequisite for profile development.

HASS uses the Operational Limits identified within HALT Testing to define a profile. Unlike HALT, HASS is performed with an autonomous profile and functionality is most often only determined pre- or post-testing.
HALT (Highly Accelerated Stress Testing) is a reliability testing method that when facilitated correctly has proven to provide a level of robustness and ruggedization rarely achieved by any other traditional methods of testing.
To ensure aircraft safety and flutter-free operation within safe flight envelopes, high-channel-count Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) systems are widely employed for structural analysis. These systems facilitate seamless data acquisition, analysis, and post-processing to assess the dynamic behavior of aircraft. However, traditional GVT approaches often involve extensive cabling, complex test setups, and time-intensive data processing, making them cumbersome and resource-intensive.
