IMV will install a water cooled large vibration test system with a force rating of 350 kN at Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), an automotive development company in Shanghai, China in 2020.

The world premium K350 has a displacement of 76.2 mm p-p and a shock velocity rating of 3.5 m/s. This makes the K350 capable of a 100 g, 11 ms shock pulse with exceptional force rating.

The K350 will be installed in the next-generation electric vehicle development and evaluation center which is currently being built by PATAC. The vibration evaluation test for batteries or motors of electric vehicle is possible and a large table (table size : horizontal 3 x 3 m, vertical  3 x 2.3 m) enables to support vibration tests of large batteries for a bus.

We expect that it can be widely used for battery testing of EV vehicles, which are expected to be increasingly in demand in the future.
