Vibrochecker vs Hybris

If you are looking for an App for vibration measurement and trying to choose appropriate vibration isolation for machines, components or systems, the "VibroChecker" can be a helpful assistant. With this App from ACE – the globally recognised specialists for industrial damping technology - you can quickly and simply measure vibrations on machines and components within a frequency range up to 50 Hz. You will gain a simple overview of current vibration statuses in a vertical direction and initial suggestions for vibration-reducing action with the result of the measurements. In addition, this App offers the option of suggesting customised vibration damping on the basis of individual machine data entries, such as the weight, number of support points and the required isolation rates. All measurement results can be archived. The application can be operated intuitively and is explained with a demo-video. All of this makes the "VibroChecker" a practical aid with permanently availability from vibration measurements through to action planning. This free aid for users serves the purpose of providing an initial description of the situation with respect to vibrations and is based on a simple, physical model of a single mass oscillator with even distribution of weight. The measurement results provide information but certainly do not substitute in-depth and calibrated on-site measurements.

What is the Hybris? It is a custom designed and magnet-based shock absorber to reduce high and low frequency vibrations and hard impact shocks. Those are typically experienced when shooting from moving platforms on rough terrain or paved roads. What makes the Hybris special and unique? A new damping experience! A finely balanced and adjustable linear eddy current brake (magnets) and spring system gives you a stable platform from which to shoot. The fact that it operates without contact means it is wear-free and unaffected by weather conditions. Due to the eddy current break characteristics the Hybris system starts already to react in a range of millimeters when minimum position changes occur. Significant changes in position and speed leads to a movement delay of the shock absorber which provoke that the image of the camera is stable. The Hybris allows a spring range of 46 cm and a payload between 1-40kg (without applying any additional weights to the system). Moreover, the use of microcontrollers enables a high precision damping fine tuning and can be controlled manually or via Hybris App (Bluetooth). The front mount can be set for under or over slung, use of any camera, gimbal or stabilized head. Therefore, the Hybris achieves the optimum position for the perfect shot. Made in Germany.
