The modal hammer WaveHit^MAX guarantees fully automatic, reproducible and high-precision excitation of the test object without double hits. The user can set the number of hits, impact force and the delay between hits accounting for different degrees of damping / delay times. All presettings like zero point or impact force search are made automatically by the hammer. Manual adjustment by the user is no longer necessary.

WaveHit^MAX has new features compared to semi-automatic impact hammers. The advantages of internal signal processing are:

Fully automatic single hits
Automatic search for user-defined impact force
Automatic zero point search
Validation of the impact for quality assurance
Change of the position between hammer and test object without new setup

The WaveHit^MAX can be operated quickly and easily by the included software on a Windows enabled device (PC or tablet) through the Ethernet.

It is the tool of choice for:

Production
Modal testing
Acoustic resonance analysis

gfai tech guarantee a fully automatic, reproducible and highly precise excitation free of any bouncing and annoying parameter adjustments or tunings. This smart device called WaveHit^MAX does these adjustments for you just automatically.

Benefits include:

Automatic zero point search
Reproducible single hit excitation
Internal sensor evaluation and process control
Automatic impact force search and adjustment
Changes in position are automatically anticipated
Configuration of the pulse properties by accessories
Trigger functionality via remote control or integration into the customer system
Designed and assembled in Germany. From the printed circuit board up to the final assembly
CE certified

Applications:

Experimental modal analysis
Acoustic resonance testing
Condition monitoring
Material testing
Impact hammer testing
Frequency response function testing

System Integration

Software: Use the WaveHit^MAX within your software. The WaveHit API (Application Programming Interface) for C++ helps you to integrate the full range of functions into your own application with little effort. A MATLAB® interface is coming soon.
Hardware: Use the WaveHit^MAX together with your automation technology. The impulse hammer can be triggered directly via photoelectric sensors or controlled via programmable logic control.
