App turns your iPhone into a vibration checker

A free app has been developed for the iPhone that is able to measure vibration and then suggest suitable vibration isolation prodcuts.

The VibroChecker app from ACE can perform ideal measurements when the iPhone is placed on the surface to be measured. Once the app has been started, four symbols appear on the display. When the icon 'Measure Vibration' is pressed, a new window opens and the measurement can start. The result appears within 15 seconds. The resulting values are the starting point for step two, the calculation interface. The most important key data is then entered - machine weight, the number of contact surfaces and the desired degree of isolation are defined using the interactive fields. Finally, the programme recommends a vibration isolation product from the ACE range, comprising low-frequency isolating air spring elements, ready-to-mount rubber-metal isolators and the tried-and-tested insulation slabs. ACE says that by reducing vibration, users can not only increase product quality and quantity, but also achieve a considerable degree of noise reduction.
